Re: Spot mk1

what's the difference between the Mk1 and the Mk2???

is it just the customisable messages?

if so are there different non-customisable messages you can send with the Mk1?

Re: Dynamo hubs and accessories!

Here's the link to those lights on the Exposure website:

Exposure 'Revo'

I've been reading all about them and drooling today but there's no way I can justify that kind of money right now.

Enjoy.....

Re: Birzman tools

Your point about it having the right tools for you is interesting though. Why don't they design a configurable multi-tool that allowed you to drop the bits you don't need or use? That would be neat. That's an interesting concept actually - a modular multi-tool which is customisable to suit you need...

been following a few folks via their spot trackers - the distances covered are already pretty wide ranging.

think i'd have been more at the back than keeping pace with Ian but it's interesting seeing how things develop.

I hear what you're saying but I still think unless you can get the rear wheel to track the front the benefits aren't great ... what it will do though is make you smile and chuckle to yourself when you look at it fair enough, that makes sense - on more twisty stuff the lines'll be too different.

Stuart, Yeah, most people simply don't get it and don't want to (which is fine as it means more bothy space for us). These days it's all about trail centres and man-made single-track.

Re: Stuff.....

It's not massive (hence the new low-profile headset) but also the on-one frame, forks and headset are now all for sale on eBay and so I should really let the auction run its course.

The link to the auction is here (as it's dirt cheap at the minute for the lot).

Does that do anything for you?
