This mornings ride resulted in a pair of crows and donkeys near shingay. A Barn owl near guilden Morden and a pair of red kite's in ashwell. Plus countless skylarks every day over the last three weeks. Any one riding near Princes Risborough will literally see a hundred red kite's on a good day, (unf...

The mech hanger is a good shout by gregsie.
There is also a possibility of the top jockey fouling the cassette sprocket on some gears causing excess noise. If so,screw the b-stop screw in clockwise untill it pulls the jockey and chain away from the sprocket slightly.

Don't want to ask you to suck eggs etc. But did you also replace the cassette ?
Imo the chain length looks fine.

In case anyone's interested, this is what it looks like to be astride a 1400 horsepower bike. I met Ian King in the US some years ago, a proper gent but maybe slightly mad. :wink: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WAKvswf3Fs Used to go to Santa Pod in my younger days in 70's n 80's. Had a mate that ...

Always simple. This week, 1. A couple of sunrises while out on bike. 2. Saw a couple of donkeys ,don't know why,but they make me smile. 3. Came across a thatched roof with a gun dog and pheasant IMG_20200313_064843.jpg Simple stuff!! Stu.. can you pm me a recording of the fuel switch over. I like un...

Look a bit like ace bars....if you're a biker!

Oh wow! I had a muddy fox explorer,suntour mechs,indexing! Canti front,....roller cam on rear chainstays, paneracer ibex tyres,loved that bike. It got me into bivvying! Bought a army surplus bivvy off market. (Still use that bivvy today on Moto!) Unfortunately some scrote lifted it by smashing my kr...

Yes, the sad thing is that it appears that the bothy is the point rather than just being part of a trip. All the people I met had driven as close to the bothy as possible. I find it sad too Steve. For many, the journey now seems to be a mere inconvenience. Agree with you both. Generally find everyo...

It's...er....all...a... Bit...errrr...VOODOO!!!!

Gulp! £1200 for a ss?
Probably f+f £600 and £600 for the trick dropouts!!
Probably higher spec components???
(Says the person with £1k hub gears)

I like the colour, ,especially if it was anodised,but won't be!
I don't the spendy bit..about 1500dollars? *Needs ratification!

Looks like a cross stitch pattern!

Was going to suggest p30 or p30pro just like everyone else here. Or I have had a Xperia Z3c ,very waterproof,good camera,and is a good cycle computer/sat nav using ipbike app and it works with ant+ bike and heart rate transmitters! Less than £100 reconditioned. A new P30 is just about in your budget...

What's your budget?
Do you prefer outright purchase or monthly payments?
What was your previous phone?

I'm with slarge,
I fancy the event,not on twits or fibs,it's the ride, scenery and social parts I enjoy.
Life's too competitive as it is!

I know there is a shortage of hand sanitizer IR.
But kitchen cif ....a bit harsh on the hands!!!

Just popped out to get a packet of bikkies, couldn't believe empty shelves in various food shops.
Particularly tinned foods and BIKKIES!!!

I feel...errr.... Sane
(Now I am worried about myself!! )

I am also interested too. I have read Lois books. Her and her husband Vince are adventure bikers. Met them at ace cafe and various book shops. Originally the festival was in London...not my cup of meths! But,now at Cotswolds ,it is more appealing. Unfortunately,non of my biking mates have been eithe...

Covering yourself in a veneer of Marmite should lead to 50% fewer bites right?

Except .....your in trouble if your mates starting fancying a slice of toast!!

Cool! Three in one day!! I followed one on Sunday as the sunset after an epic 10hr ride to Cambridge and back off-road for about 400mtrs. And followed another on the way back from ware on Thursday after a talk by Shu pillinger (of RAAM) at allenburys sports n social club. (Tough lady!) Makes my day ...

LOL!!
I can see it now...
Skin so soft...
Comes with free plastic midge scraper!!

From parents whom originate from the land of the fastest combines and tractors, eating baked garlic cloves does the trick of keeping vampires ,large and miniscule,at bay. (In my experience) I have been informed by many of my female colleagues that Avon "skin so soft" works very well too. I...

That could be a possibility!
Give me a moment....

.....Doh! Obviously have been on their site before. Changed password to my usual combo .
Thanks for waking me up Scotroutes!

Has anyone had problems with joining sportpursuit?
Frigging site keeps telling me my email address is incorrect.
Even entering it manually make no difference.
I can't even contact them because of the same problem!!
