Current Android phone recommendations

Before anyone lays in..running my own business requires this. It's not for facebook which I don't have... What phones can people recommend that meet these criteria:- -not a Sony M5 which will be shortly resident up the colon of the first Sony employee I find -weatherproof enough to survive a bit of ...

Re: How can I. Red eye light mount

Same as Nige - seatstay with some plastic behind it - worked fine until I killed my Revo output. Edit: two are not linked to best of my knowledge - I'd been running a Redeye off my revo for 2 years prior. I did this by accidentally plugging the dynamo into the output socket.

Re: Bit of Welsh insider knowledge

Yes Stu it hurts a bit doesn't it. Almost as much as £9.20 in the cafe for coffee coke and a cheese sarnie.

Was hoping to drop the WRT books in on the way back but I finished too late and needed to get home.

Re: Bit of Welsh insider knowledge

In the end I bodged it with a 10mm plus 4mm

Glad I did as I rode what was one of the best Road rides ever in Wales. And also got to see Mike "Nigella Lawson" and his van full of condiments.

Bit of Welsh insider knowledge

1) Anyone know of a decent spot close to Dolgellau where I can stealth camp in my camper van

2) Any recommendations for a cafe open in or near Bala on a Sunday?

3) Is the road round Llyn Efyrnwy worth riding on me road bike?

Re: garmin assistance req

On the 62 I think they need to be in GARMIN/GPX directory? I could be wrong as I haven't got one.

If it does not exist then create it on the SD card in File Manager

Re: Really hated this winter... (Spanish trail suggestions!)

This is just my point of view...but weather never ruins a ride for me as I'm outside. My summer excursions onto the Ridgeway would not be the same if I didn't do the same thing type 2 fashion in winter. I really find it hard to understand not riding because of crap weather because it is always so ac...
