Argh - keep thinking someone wants to buy them

Best cycling related decision I ever made and was removing a cycle computer about 11yrs ago. I was doing a lot of road riding commuting 20 miles to work and had become a little obsessed with average speed. Lost a lot of fitness from lack of time to ride around the time of first child being born and ...

Just the job - cheers Stu

Great much appreciated.

Totally agree with Jameso - used primaloft stuff for years walking in mountains as a Chuck on when you stop layer. Taking one riding was a real light bulb moment. I’ve got a haglof one - bought a smaller size for a more cycling friendly fit.

I commute over the Shropshire hills at the moment and you get pretty hot on the climbs and cold on the descents. On cold days a long sleeve merino base layer and gore wind stopper jersey stays on all the time. I carry primaloft gilet and a thin packable rain shell to add and remove as needed. Doesn’...

Dont want any bars but my personal favourites are Ritchey Venture max XL. Stupid expensive and a bit rare in uk (at least when I was looking a few months ago) but working great for me. Fitted a pair of 46cm venture max last night. Felt good on the highly scientific sitting on it in the shed and ped...

Surplus to requirements in the quest to find bars my wrists like: Genetic Digest Bars - used for a couple of rides, enough to decide they are not for me. 31.8 clmap. £25 posted - Reduced! Whyte gravel series drop bar - 48cm c-c 31.8 clamp. Great if you want a wide bar but don’t want flare. Used £15 ...

Tidied

Lockdown must have some positives. I did manage to paint the shed floor, which makes it a lot easier to find all the bolts,etc I drop.

If anyone has one happy to cover postage + beer money.
Don’t want to give up on a perfectly serviceable light for the sake of a crappy bracket.

Fell off and bust the bracket my rear light clips into - one of the small Aldi cob ones. Don’t suppose anyone has anything in their drawer of spare plastic bracket crap? (Everyone has one of those collections, right?) Everything I can find is a touch too wide to hold it securely and the led itself i...

I did it in the middle of the summer before last - didn’t even get my feet damp

I’ll take the saddle please Shaf.
I’m not finding saddles I’ve previously felt fine to be comfy at the moment so up for trying other brands.
Send me a PM with you details and I’ll send some cash your way.

Dhp mesh ones are pretty reasonably priced and work really well.

No sorry ignore me - nearly repeated your mistake

....and brought a couple of rear mech hangers for the sonder, and they fit. Which given that alpkit didn’t have any in stock I’m pretty bloody chuffed about

Has anyone ever thought of turning this thread into a giant game of ‘I went to the shops and I bought....?

Think we’re already past that point - it took quite a wallop

Cheers folks - just found a boardman one on rearmechhangers.com that looks right. Got 2, now you’ve got me thinking I should have 3

Just crashed my sonder Camino (v2) and bent the rear mech hanger.
Alpkit have nothing in stock and I need the bike to get to work. Anyone any ideas where else I could find one??

Thought I’d lucked out and got a spare 10 speed microshift thumbshifter lever to fit on an old 8 speed shimano bar end shifter mount. Turns out the cable groove doesn’t line up with the hole. I can run the shimano 8 speed levers friction but would rather not. So anyone got a cheap 10 speed bar end s...

I’ve heard Goretex overmitts being recommended before. I find that dedicated winter gloves aren’t good at just above freezing, because none ever stay properly dry in rain or sleet. I took two pairs of winter gloves with me on an overnight and because they both got so soaked I couldn’t retain any wa...

Am I looking at the pics wrong or can you only ride on the hoods?

I’ve been using something similar to these for properly foul weather. Possibly overkill but as long as it’s raining & you’re output is fairly high they’ve been really good. https://www.ndiver.com/7mm-kevlar-mitts-gloves-2 They look very promising- could work well with drops too. 7mm seems quite...
