Got any of these left Stu ? Cheers

I'm looking at adding some aerobars to my gravel bike for longer distance rides, not for the "aero" advantage, but more the alternate hand, arm, upper body positioning. Does anyone have any experience of the Redshift QR aerobars, vs more traditional setups such as those from Deda or Profil...

Only time I take it off is to use it , still zipped up, as a sleeping bag for my feet. It's only ever my feet that feel cold I'm the same, upper body is usually pretty warm no matter what, but if my feet get cold, it ruins everything. Hence wrapping my down jacket around my "socked" feet ...

Are those bags actually any good? I've always considered them as a means of staying alive rather than staying warm. :wink: I've got the 1.0 and 1.6. With a decent mat and bivvy bag I find them both to be way warmer than they have any right to be for the weight. They're very small though, in both le...

I might as well throw my hat in the ring again...

I'm not 100% sure I actually want to lose weight. I'm happy with the "weight" / number itself, but would like more of it to be due to lean muscle mass, as opposed to man boobs and squidgy parts.

I'm going to move on to the just released Panceltic film, anyone else seen it?

I enjoyed it, even if the narration is a bit pretentious here and there.

Big old sale going on at OMM. Just grabbed a superlight bag.

Bump. Any offers before ebay?

Well s##t in a bag and punch it! It worked! I tried the tips above and the one that I think made the difference was starting opposite the valve hole. Overall the tyres are still a very snug fit, but not ridiculously so. Can anyone explain why this technique works ? Isn't the rim structure the same a...

Thanks everyone. I'll give it another go, employing all these tips.
Fingers crossed.

What I always think in this scenario is how will I get it off, and back on, at the side of a trail in the cold and rain ( I neVer leave a tight tyre on personally) This is what's bothering me now. Even if I do get the tyres on in the comfort of my home with gadgets and tools, I doubt that I'd be ab...

So I've just spent an hour mashing my knuckles to bits, shredding two inner tubes and snapping one of my tyre levers trying to get my new Pirelli Cinturato velo 700x35 on to my WTB rims. At this point I've given up on them, but was wondering are there any tips or tricks for getting tyres on to rims ...

Thanks for all the recommendations

Another budget option might be the Pinnacle Ramin 3+?
Never had one, but I've heard good things.

Some Xmas gifts need moving on. I'm selling an unused Pinnacle Warerproof jacket in hi-viz, size XL. Only selling as its tight around my chest, but fits great everywhere else, so i need XXL :???: . Im 5'9", 44" chest, 34" waist. https://www.evanscycles.com/brand/pinnacle/waterproof-cy...

I use Proviz over trousers. I love em

Hi all.

I'm looking for a very lightweight, packable gilet and was wondering what you'd all recommend. Hi viz / reflective would be a bonus.

Thanks very much

Can I get some pics please? I'll pm you
