Re: Downtube Pole Bag
:-bd If its attached properly, it wont fall off. And... it didnt. It happily sat there, clean in its bag for about 170km of off road rattling bike dragging and river forging. Zero issues. The bag was filthy, so id probably hide it behind a crud catcher if i was to use it again, but oddly, my set up ...

Re: Excitement jitters!
I'm just eating breakfast (omelette, mushrooms and bagels 😋) before riding out on a big 2 day loop of the South Downs and North Downs and I'm actually shaking with excitement! It's making it hard to keep food on my fork 😂 Not jealous, at all - would rather be sat here with a painful hip, watching b...

I just strap mine to the top tube, with Velcro straps, alongside the top straps of my framebag.

Re: Back in the saddle: Britain's new love affair with cycling
We had fish and chips by the river in Shoreham, today, and the amount of people out on bikes was wonderful to see. All ages, sizes and niches (including a tricycle) were in evidence and, surprisingly, a large proportion of them seemed to using their bike as an alternative to the car - shopping, meet...

Re: Veloviewer map - explorer tiles
I set off on a 34 mile route, yesterday, which would have finished of my current western expansion plans, and take me from 25x25 to 29x29. Unfortunately a comedy fall into the nettles and thistles resulted in my saddle pointing the wrong way. However, instead of the usual "seatpost rotated in s...

Re: Quick one: stowable packpack
Another decathlon packable backpack user, here. Can find it on their website, but they have plenty of alternatives. Bought specifically to stock up on BBQ goodies and beer, a few miles before arriving at the campsite. Did the job admirably, and has also been used for picking up shopping on the way h...

Re: Free bike service
I'm with Dave, on this. Have only ever used my LBS to chase and face my BB, so not about to start now, just because it's 'free'. The morals of doing so would be the same as all those folks who get a 200mm travel downhill bike on the cycle to work scheme - it's disingenuous and dishonest. If you do n...

Re: Gatherings?
Having similar discussions, with my wife, at the moment. She normally goes away for 4 or five days, each year, with a friend, staying in a hotel that puts on entertainment and local sightseeing trips. Recently got a letter from them setting out what changes have been made to the arrangements and the...

Re: Show us your SQUARE (please).
Currently at 25x25 but working on the western flanks, so should be up to 30 X 30 soon.
Then I have to start working towards London

Re: Bargain Alert Thread
These have been mentioned, before, when discussing ways of upgrading drop bars bikes from cable pull brakes to hydraulics, without having to change the levers.

Re: Veloviewer map - explorer tiles
Not sure if it’s available for the etrex, it’s on garmin ConnectIQ, oh and it’s called Every tile. There’s a good app for Android phones apparently. It is only compatible with the Edge series, unfortunately. The app for Android phones, is probably the one I already have - Explorer helper for velovi...

Re: Veloviewer map - explorer tiles
Bob do you have a garmin? I’ve installed ‘every square’ its limited in scope but does give a live indicator of which squares you’ve been through. Yes, an Etrex35, where do I get that from? I normally plot the routes beforehand, using Strava and the veloviewer browser plugin - I just wasn't paying a...

Re: Veloviewer map - explorer tiles
Those leaderboard screen shots, I notice in both of them for the years 'All' is not ticked. It only shows 2020 and 2019 but there may be other years ticked. You need to tick all to make sure all your historic tiles are included. Are we looking at the same screenshots? Both have 'All' ticked, surely?

Re: Veloviewer map - explorer tiles
Looks like the number one slot in the BearBones all-time square tickers list is now firmly out of my grasp though, as Jack Peterson has come storming through in the last few weeks, and is rapidly heading towards the top of the UK chart ? https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50096707768_fbb088a524_z....
