Never heard of them, are they any good?

That is a real life version of what's been floating around in my head for years. Nice work! I mean, I was gonna mount the clamp off the bars rather than the stem, but otherwise that's basically my imagination in reality

Nice work!

The majority of the industry is very much not at the pointy end

Hi All, I had a really good weekend away, nice to catch up with Bob and Cath, nice to meet you Eric. I’ve not really got anything to add to everyone else’s words. I took a few photos which I hope to have uploaded over Christmas time (I have a backlog!). Strava here: https://www.strava.com/activities...

I’ve made it to the start!
It’s a bit wet/haily outside!
Cafe is a bit rammed, but have managed to claim a ‘large’ table.

Looking forward to it.

Had a bit of a cold last weekend, but I think I've cleared it - taking it easy at work this week. I should sort my bike out this evening and pack tomorrow. I've eyed up somewhere to park in Skipton. So I'm still on :-bd Social riding will be ace :smile: What's the latest guest list? Chew Whitestone ...

Out of interest, what bivi bag is that you're using? Borah of some sort? That’s a borah bivvy, silnyon bottom and moment m90 top (breathable and water resistant, but not waterproof), it’s a fair few years old now. It is a bit slippy when not on a flat surface, and I keep meaning to try painting som...

So with time for a bivvy rapidly running out in November, I worked out a good way to do fit it in would be after work on Friday, as there was a work social going on. I eyed up some bivvy spots on my commute, however the days preceding the night out a lot of water fell from the sky, and it was so wet...

Excellent, thanks Chew. I still fully intend to be there.

Interested if cycletribes isn't.

Where in the world are you?

Thanks all for the comments on this thread - it follows on well from my snappy kinesis thread!

I'm gonna start saving for an Escapade I reckon then!

Ditto!

Got pulled over by the fuzz yesterday evening for speeding on a dual carriageway (marked car of all things, but all I saw was a set of headlights in my mirrors catch up with me...lesson learnt). Anyway, I should really have gone court, but they used discretion and as it was only "excessive spee...

I've been ill the past week, and didn't have the mojo to pop out over the weekend, so went out yesterday evening after work (and after dinner and filling my insulated flask with tea back home). I lobbed everything into a 20 litre backpack and cycled 5 miles out to a local wildlife trust centre - sle...

Hi everyone. I no longer use this. It's in very good condition and had very light use. Perfect for living room media pc use etc. English UK keyboard layout, usb rechargeable, backlit illuminated.

Wishing Archie a speedy recovery, John.

I'll put my name down.

How stripped is it? Could you rescue the situation tapping it out - you can get pedal thread taps for non silly money. https://live.staticflickr.com/5581/29652955244_a116c502a8_b.jpg 283 (08-10-2016) by Chris Reeves , on Flickr That's one I did earlier. Failing that, you can helicoil it. See: https:...

I'm enjoying this Dave. I'm watching it in instalments and still working my way through, but either way, top work

Bravo all, I enjoyed that.

Looks like tonight is make or break as I haven't done a September Bivvy yet... Forecast is torrential rain :-bd Made it. I didn't fancy going out Sunday evening, if I'd gone out then, it would have been for the sake of getting Bivvy a Month which isn't really the point. This left the last day of se...

And the rear drop out crack suggests the chain and seat stays are trying to bend apart - is the seat tube bust as well?? No seat tube failure this time round (well at first glance, I'll take another look later). Setup is well proven from the first crosslight - that failed at the bottom bracket whic...
