I think the correct method is to do the ride again in the opposite direction and everything should cancel itself out just fine. If it doesn't then just keep going until it does.

I'll take the airlock please Tony.

Nigel turned his nose up at my choice of powerbank in the past, but balls to him.

I usually carry 2 of these bad boys. Except I think they were on offer at £7.99 each when I bought them. Been using them regularly for over a year and they're still going strong.

Ammen to that.

Too busy riding bikes m8

tbf I've done the same thing when buying second hand stuff. Bought some forks that had a 1 1/4" steerer tube (Giant Overdrive) without realising. Turned out that NO bearing manufacturers made headset bearings in that size to fit my frame.

You've still got a chumk of grim, busy A roads round the east of Manchester in that. That stretch from Oldham to Stockport is pretty nasty. There are miles better roads to the east which just skirt the west of the Peak District - something like this https://www.strava.com/routes/12079337 lets you g...

My frame isn't a flat mount nor is the fork

That's just given me a right laugh.

it would be decades before it had any effect. But the people of decades later would be thankful and safe. As we are now decades after Hungerford/Dunblane. Should we boycott manfacturers of diesel engines now too? That would save nearly 200,000 lives in a generation's time. Like someone said before,...

We'd just stopped to "recharge our batteries"

2/12 Boners in Borrowdale

When I got my dress taken in last year it ended up too small around the hips because the dress maker had used up all her chalk fixing sleeping mats.

RIP Andy. Been nice knowing you.

What a fucking stupid thing to do.

Echo all of the above. I went a few months without lubing my rear facing slot and now my tube's a right mess.

I'd say it's rideable on a CX. I'd probably put the biggest tyres I could fit on. If you could get something like a 44mm Nano on you'd be fine.

Checked the spindle Sean and all looks good ,think that little plate with the pin broken off may be the culprit ,so it looks like fitting either a pop rivet stem into the plate or looping a split pin through the clamp bolt and into the locating hole till I can get my hands on a new plate Cheers for...

My usual first step is to look at the Strava heat map and segments in the areas I'm heading to, then look at the rides other people have done there. Usually gives a decent idea of what's rideable/popular etc.

Duncan have you started shouting at people before a pedal's even been turned?

Tried to avoid ''sessioning" the same sections as it's a bit dull - do you think the improvement from doing this is from becoming a better rider, or just learning the best lines for a particular segment? It'll give you the confidence to ride over techy bits at the right speed and not panic and...

The gpx for the whole thing is available on the PBW website. The file contains all the different options/loops/spurs so you need to edit it to make any sense of it. Just had a play with it and made this, you should be able to download the gpx directly from there: https://www.bikemap.net/en/r/4306711...

I've just booked with easyjet to Munich. I think they were £42 each way, but the flights were slightly more expensive the Ryanair, so again it pretty much balances out.

I've been using a Maxxis Rekon on the back and Nobby Nic on the front. Grip and sturdiness all good so far.

Put your... um, put your tongue in it.

The Haute Route goes from Chamonix to Zermatt and is mostly doable on bike if you don't mind some carrying Thread from last year here, my route's about halfway down: http://bearbonesbikepacking.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=10420&p=125520&hilit=Haute#p125520 Didn't plan on using lifts...
