I have a flat (Jones) bar version.

How do you find it? Felt the need to upgrade it in any way?

FWIW, I use an old Samsung S7 phone, in an SPconnect case (similar to quadlock, but more robust) this makes it waterproof and provides a clamping mechanism. I mount it on the stemcap on the gravel bike and stem on the fatbike. Yes i uses the SP system but the phone cradle[waterproof phone] - its in...

I used to use Love Mud (Alpkit) Jekyll SPD single sided pedals. Recently I've gone to flats and ditched SPDs altogether.

The Jekylls have been well used, but you're welcome to them for free if you want them ? But, if you want top quality, I'd go with the Shimano T8000s Ton recommended.

I appreciate that Stu. I'll do some measuring and let you know. It's for the carbon Poles you made me last year.

PM'd you on here

Only ever used big, family campsites near Bala.
As per Facebook, I've sent you a message on FB messenger re the section from Flint to Dyserth.

Only done Iceland with the bike, so here's my bit... •Recommended airlines Flew with Easyjet. No issues except don't put your tent pegs or torque wrench in your hand luggage! •Excess baggage. Going out was fine as I could weigh the box at home, however on the return we (JC & me) had to pay extr...

Brilliant. Thanks for this everyone.

Hello.
For those familiar with the area, what would be the suggested route to cycle from Glasgow City centre to Ardrossan? NCN route 7? Ayr Road? Other?

Thanks

I've planned something similar to this. Let me know if you want to discuss best options etc.

So I ticked off a few of my '22 ambitions, but not all. Here's the '23 list. Get to my target body weight, and / or body shape. Do the WRT, obviously. Sort my gear out to make it 3-4 season compatible and maybe start BAM. Do more bikepacking with my son. Myself and a couple of other boners plan to d...

I'll be weighing in on Friday. I'm sticking with 2022's goal. However, I'm also considering tracking lifting goals too, and not worrying about loss of body weight so much.

Does it fit in a standard bottle cage?

Thanks all. I'll have a look through the options.

For a brew on the go, without the faff of making a brew, I'm thinking of grabbing an insulated bottle / flask. What's good ?

Cheers
