Re: Cycling pants to keep the bottom dry
Guards are a must on long rides if it's going to be wet. Think more solving the problem than trying to fix it, as you'll get far more wet from the ground, than above. If it's just for showers, then just get some cheap waterproof trousers and chop down to size. Also if you're out for 24 hours, then ...

Re: Cycling pants to keep the bottom dry
Lol. Forgot to say. Lycra doesn't really do it for me and about the cold thing. Yesterday s ride was a little eye opener. Went without my under helmet hat for the first time this year. But when it started raining midway and the windchill really got to my head I relaised my mistake. Luckily I had the...

Cycling pants to keep the bottom dry
As per title. I wonder if anyone can suggest any decent pants that I need for a 24hour ride next month. At the mo I have my Madison dry pants but they are at risk of getting me too warm. Then there is the Endura singletracks which dry pretty quickly as long as it gets warm. Although the Endura are a...

Thanks guys... Thing with the Revelate bag is that its always a pain to find. Alpkit just doesn't do it for me... Chew... If the Apidura is the standard (not longer version) then I reckon it will fit spot on (how much please Chew and when/where to collect??)...

Revelate Tangle (old model) compatibility for tt bag
Guys. If someone can advise. I have a Revelate Tangle which is a snug fit in my frame. Its vaguely exciting though and I even manage to use 2 × 750 ml bottles by swapping around to downtube when one is empty. Q I have is: which tootube bags will work. I plan on getting a stembag (thinking apidura co...

Re: Best/most reliable Garmin Etrex &bike mount
Thanks guys. Chew, the 520 is more of a trainijg tool you see and a bit of a faff for navigating long distances (crashed on me twice on my training ride last week)... So I thought, with the price of etrex these days, I may as well invest and have the added security. Will be carrying a large anker po...
