Got it open ready to watch! Just reading the XXC mags whilst i wait!

Cheers flv! Having checked my brakes this morning, it is a compression olives & nut top and bottom!

I'll give evans and Harry halls a call this morning see if either if them have any in!

cheers stu!

I need a replacement front hose for the brakes i recently got of flatfishy as the front one is slightly too short! Are all shimano hoses the same? Or is there something more to it i need to consider?

Brakes are Shimano Deore XT BR-M775

Thanks

Phew! At least the missus wont kill me now!

I do like the look of that stooge!

After 3 tubes failing on me in less than 2 miles (2 went at the valve and 1 just wouldn't hold air) I need to buy some more. I'm a little weary of buying cheap tubes as the ones which failed were the cheap on one tubes, but 5 tubes for a tenner is tempting. Had anyone bought them before? And before ...

I used alpkit and picked up some of this https://www.alpkit.com/products/fredd-3

I don't have the experience of others, but I'll tell you what I have. I have both, so depending on the weather I am fAced with I can choose accordingly, but prefer Bivi/tarp. I picked up a second hand wild country zephyros 2 tent for £60 from the outdoors magic forum. Supposed to sleep 2 but keeps I...

Ha ha ace!

Quick question, what tent is that?

I like that a lot!!! Will definitely order one maybe two

Ive got 4 days penciled in to cycle it, should be possible. Plan is to get the train as close to Hornsea as possible, cycling through to Southport before getting the train home. If im ahead of schedule, i may even cycle home the last day. Appreciate it is not the most exciting of routes and I had th...

Afternoon all, Im currently looking at cycling the length of the trans pennine trial with friends in September but am worried about a potential lack of opportunities to wild camp. A lot of the route appears to be rather urban which in my mind brings risks of my bike disappearing. Has anyone cycled t...

All sorted thanks to that there man flatfishy!

With pay day fast approaching, i am looking to replace the Avid brakes on my On One. Just thought i would check if anyone had any here they were looking to offload before i check the cheapest price online! They dont have to be anything fancy, just better and more reliable than the avid elixir's i've...

Lovely looking bike! Wish i had the money and fitness to take this off your hands!

GL with the sale!

Have you got a gpx or profile of the route? Im really keen to do this, but worried i am nowhere near fit enough to attempt it!

And so it begins :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Its always the way! What starts out as being a cheap as chips build begins to escalate out of control very, very quickly! *cough* http://www.genesisbikes.co.uk/blog/02/07/14/2015-bike-launch-tour-de-fer *cough* That bike looks very nice indeed! Cant seem to ...

Enjoyed that!

Out of curiosity, what camera did you use to film this?

Id be interested in one as well.

Quite a flat ride for the distance.... ;) You should be able to edit the ride - click on the spanner on the left and select crop. Is the extra bit of track obvious? Have you been around the world in between turning your GPS on? Or, maybe just delete the ride and try and load it again in case Strava...

Just been uploading some rides to strava and noticed the following:- http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh557/zoglug/StravaError_zps5930d064.jpg I feel like superman!!! :-bd Does anyone know of editing that ride to take out the anomoly, or am i best off just deleting the ride from my history?

Cheers guys! Looking at it, i can get the Kaffenback frame for £99, but it is in the coffee colour rather than the matt black :cry: . Once i price in a new steel fork, then a trip to the powder coaters means im looking towards £250 which is the same price as buying the f&f from Planet X! Then i ...

Hey everyone, Although not specifically mountain bikes :grin: im hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. :-bd I'm looking to put together a steel touring bike as cheap as possible for some coast to coast rides and possibly LEJOG next year. On ebay Planet X have a medium Kaffenback 2...

Can't believe I hadn't read this thread earlier! It's given me some decent tips! The thought of cycling along the canal tomorrow fills me with dread! I was planning to do it to hebden bridge tomorrow but with how gritty I got cycling only 6 miles home from work along the canal and having to get in a...
