I like my Bombolini loads of grip - much better than the 120tpi Knard which I hated, but it might not be suited to where I like to ride

Please can you tell me how the Bombolini's role over tarmac compared to the Knards?

I don't know but it looks like Dave Barter is telling another "tall" tail in the background.

Also, some Ergon Gc1 grips to try with my Jones bars.

Pics to follow when all fitted...

Glad they turned up ok and that you like them

What's out there to raise the light over the top of the my harness and bar bags?

Cheers

The new wildcat double entry dry bag is super light, waterproof and has a middle baffle that moves from one side to the other depending on load. This weekend I rolled up my airbed, pump, pillow, quilt in my bivi bag rolled up ready to lay out in one go, this all fitted in one side and my Silwing tar...

The power and price looks great and I was very tempted to have it on my new build. But 1) I don't do enough multi day trips to justify it 2) I don't race 24 hours races 3) If I was to do either 1 or 2 I might not chose to take the new bike out on it I might take one of my other non dynamo bikes 4) ...

Anyone else's midge bites itching like hell this morning?

Thanks Dee and Stu for all your hard work and great hosting of such a fun event. And thanks Stu for such a great route back to Wrexham, I hardly saw any cars for 90% of the 67 miles back. All of my photos are here https://www.flickr.com/photos/25655510@N02/albums/72157669921272602 Some shots that I ...

Met up with Eric who slept in a field of sheep last night. Tony and I rocked up late to Lake Vyrnwy and found the very posh RSPB hide unlocked so me bedded down in there.

We are currently having a fry up at Llangadfan

Me on the vomiting Gnome Lauf'ing stock 29er+ riding down after work tomorrow from Wrexham and meeting up with Tony (Lawman) on an On One Fatty riding down and back from Wigan

Just packed my my heavy waterproof, waterproof shorts and light weight waterproof so it's going to be dry.

Anyone know what the accurate forecast is as the BBC seem to be a bit hit and miss ATM

Suspension for the 29er+, a Son Hub and a new rotor

Just hope the K Light turns up tomorrow ready for Bearstock

Chrome here and no problems on a Windows PC

Endura Superlite (waterproof) shorts ready for the weekend

Lauf Carbonara for my 29er+
SON 150 15 hub
Been built up ready for Bearstock as long as the spokes arrive in time

Bugger.

Looks like it's a USB twin AA charger is needed to charge the spares on the move.

Thanks for all your help

Cheers, I'll have a look tomorrow when I've got it in my hand

Cheers but muppet moment from me

It's not an Oregon its a Dakota 20

Looks like this


Will the above instructions be the same?

eh... no... Please can you explain more? Which button please? In simple terms and pictures if possible.

My GPS is in my office so won't be able to check and do anything until tomorrow

Is there a USB thing that fits and charges rechargeable batteries away from the GPS, so as one lot run low the others can be charged away from the GPS?

I have a battery power pack from Maplins http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/maplin-6000mah-power-bank-n48lk and it charges my phone really well. But today I thought I'd try and charge my Garmin Oregon with flat rechargeable batteries in it. The power pack was on 100% and the charging light flashes, the Garmi...

That's what the wife said as well, at least she's not the only one with a dirty mind....
