They are basically unmarked except for where the brakes and shifters went

OS fitting so should be fine for any new bike and most bikes that are say 5 years old or newer - its pretty hard to find anything with the old standard size stem

i have a set of the alpkit bars that i will sell for half the new price

as you are skint you can pay me when you can afford it - north west based as well for collection

Either pick a route and then the best bike for that route or pick the bike and pick a route to suit the bike.

what charger FREELOADER - how heavy is the kit?- NOT VERY NEVER WEIGHED IT - Where do you have it when cycling along?- SOMEWHERE FACING THE SUN TOP OF BARS/CROSSBAR OR SADDLE BAG - Does it work in marginal, cloudy conditions? YES BUT TO BE FAIR IT WORKS MARGINALLY IN BRIGHT SUNLIGHT :wink: - what so...

this is one of the factors that puts me off riding south of the border.

every cloud eh

as my post is above yours it really not necessary to quote it all to reply From what i can tell the change is from trespass may be an offence to is an offence. It would have been better to use other words in my statement- to my knowledge a bike packer has never been done currently so it is criminali...

The law, if in acted, may just be for motorised vehicle's. This also maybe used against the off roaders who destroy bridle paths etc. Or it may just used against everyone and target us for the damage we do to footpaths and on private land when we camp. I am not sure why you think they wont use a br...

If these are the same as the last lot I bought they have an extremely weird flashing mode

it is indeed a weird flashing mode and weird enough I dont want to use it

Bright though I will give it that

done with respect I cannot see a problem

there is one at work [ who even does services - dont know what never asked] I will ask them on Monday what they think

most of us here would prefer Scottish type access rules and it is worrying that simply riding a bike or camping somewhere can lead to a criminal conviction. perhaps we can get them to specify with motorised vehicles or caravans or some such seeing as they wish to target the travelling community As n...

what he said

pretty sure i have the one that came on my Genesis that you can have, I will measure it later

yes can you promise me good weather

will send you an e-mail re this tomorrow

you planning on doing it on 24 hours?

i tend to do this sort of service when the clocks move as it acts a as reminder

Bearings, fork oil etc a those annoying jobs that must be done that you forget because nothing is broken- then again there are 10 bikes in the house, not all mine, so I need some incentive to lose a weekend to this

be nice to make it three in a row so see you there then

Thanks again for doing this they are ace events and a nice way to mark the ending of summer riding

Next year I promise to not need to borrow any part of a bike from you

that bit of fluff made me almost as angry as the boss

How do you get caught by the landowner so often you know that nine times out of ten you can pay them?

Sounds like he just picks bad spots to me - or perhaps all the fires alert the owners to his illegal activity

everyone should own a gillet - though i prefer tops with zip off arms as they are more adaptable

as noted there are times when the core is cold or wind chill is a factor but a coat would be too much. Personally i tend to use mine in spring and autumn and descents when MTB on proper Mountains

Are we talking about a handful of people

yes t perhaps 10-20 - its not required,

for getting across the Manchester sprawl I'm all ears the route in - it looks like the canal from littleborough is actually pretty good as a route in - have ridden it a couple of times you wont find anything better coming from that side - dont know the way out Or you could opt to go from waterfoot ...

what they said I doubt you will notice any real difference but you may need to give it a gentle * tap with a hammer to persuade it to move after all this time * you will and it may not be gentle, I tend to knock the crank arm, on the bolt, to get it to move sideways before trying to get it to move e...

the real question is how does it wheelie ?

she wont be able to "race " on it and in the past they have just taped up the gears on bikes that do have gears Given there are riders in fancy dress, the half way point by tradition has a bar that it is mandatory to stop at and imbibe , its a pretty leisurely affair - except for the fast ...

too far for me to travel ,and the other folk i usually attend with, which is a shame as we love it generally

Yes its a pretty boozy affair but I am sure you will love it

alpine quest - about £7 iirc- will allow you to use ,data and wifi free, the old style memory map OS maps

The free version allows you to load one map area but not add routes.
