Re: OS app. Any good?

Backcountry Navigator app is good but does require a mobile signal. You can download a gpx to it and view at 1:25000 for the whole of the uk. Useful at night to view the following days route.....if you've got a signal :roll:

Still got a 9spd triple here on my 29er. Only had 1 front mech mishap in 30 years and I can always find just the right gear.

Re: Leave no trace: mainstream media

I had a similar experience on Yr Wyddfa aswell. I decided to ride/push up to the summit from Llanberis and whilst riding the last 2-300meters the train chugged passed loaded with Americans all gawping at me. I'd just sat down and was instantly surrounded by XXXL stone washed denim, fat bellies, tenn...

Re: All the bears.

If anyone with the computer wizardry skills can produce a GPX of the outermost track I'd be very interested. Its gotta be the Polar Bear for a dec/Jan attempt. URSA Major is v clever too but I imagine it's going to be alot like the 4 corners of hell when riding!

Re: GRRR. Cracked rim again

They obviously are a bit heavier Mart but I can't say I noticed much difference. I knew they were a stronger rim so gave me the confidence to go a bit quicker through the rougher stuff and I'd rather that than worry about a few grams. I once did the Cairngorms loop on a pair of Crests and spent 3 da...

Towards the end of the HT550 route the bike was creaking a bit.......every drive side spoke hole had cracked. Stans mk3 32H. On top of that the sharp edge of the rim had chewed through the tyre bead front and back so I had to stick tubes in. Utter poor show. Rebuilt using DT swiss M502's and haven't...
