Mrs Polisheman has done her usual shaking of her head at the word "unisex", which means doesn't fit anyone with child bearing hips... :wink:

Get my knee sorted, so I can limp around the Calder trail in September and the BB300 (more likely the 200, the way things are going)

Handlebar dry bags.... long and thin not low and droopy

'ow do. I'm using a Wildcat Lion with an alpkit 13lt dry bag. If you've seen the alpkit bag, you'll know it's sort of oval in profile, a squat little fellow. Problem is it hangs low and rests on the lockout lever of my forks, and errr ...locks them out. Any recommendations for a 13ltr ish round prof...

Bike hike down again. OS type alternatives?

'ow do.
I know it's been done to death, but I'm still struggling to find an alternative with a, OS maps for definitive rights of way. b, the option to save as "track".
I've got an OS subscription, and you can plot routes but no "track" option.

I’m dithering about size though. At 5β€² 10β€³ 32β€³ leg (such an awkward height) I’m slap bang between med/l...

Never had a problem with mine ejecting using the original Garmin mount, even after blasting around the Pyrenees for a few weeks. The cheap eBay ones are useless. Top tip..

Just got some Jones bars and my bracket doesn't fit on the front, it's the usual 31.8 or whatever.
Anyone got 25mm ish spacer knocking about, they wouldn't mind selling?
