I think everyone who uses clipless has done it at least once, and usually twice :D Although in my defence I hadn't tightened the shoe cleats enough for the second one so the cleats were birling about as I tried to undo my foot :O luckily it was that wee road out to the summer isles so could fall off...

That youtube link has been taken down...

However a quick search on youtube found it (I think?)

have people wander past or have a farmer get annoyed with me in the morning. Very few people are up and about in the countryside after dark, the chances of any of them being in the vicinity of where you've setup a bivy is minimal. Farmers are only going to be around early morning during or just aft...

Clipless on my road, and flats on my mtb. As I'm not that great at the technical stuff!

And thanks for the replies to my daft-ish question!

Congratulations!!

They do tend to come out that pink colour don't they?

I've never really looked at Audaxes before... So for the long ones you bivi in the middle? (or go to a b'n'b I guess?) The scottish ones look interesting, there's a 1200 k one starting in Mull! http://www.aukweb.net/events/detail/16-392/

Maybe the Bar Fly Universal Mount? Short bar extension thing that's the proper fat width... has various holes in it, you could put a wire down em?

Do you mean the Nitto front rack? Attaches to old brake fittings, and is a bit spendy... http://ep.yimg.com/ay/yhst-3773699254952/nitto-m18-mini-front-rack-3.gif Salsa used to do the Minimalist front rack but dont seem to be able to get it now. Specialized did a rip-off of the nitto but you had to b...

http://elephantbike.co.uk/ You can buy a postie bike (refurbished and painted green) with all the trimmings - those welded on racks and that front tray! Very niche, 26" rear and 24" front, and a whole 3 speeds in that hub. Only 23kg :-bd And when you buy one, they send another one to Malaw...

The X-mini is great. The buckshot thing just won't sync with my iphone sadly!

Ah thanks! I guess I can hold on a couple of days

What size/kind of drybag would fit in to a Gorilla cage? I did read the wee review that the nice Cyclemiles people link back to here with but it just says 'not 13l' :) I remember someone something about Lomo drybags for an anything cage...

Happy birthday!

That's a blast from the past! Bikeradar forums

Edinburgh specific really - Ronde bike shop/cafe in stockbridge has a sale on - there's some good genesis bikes in there, longitudes, caribous, croix de fer. They are super stone age and barely have a website so the best I can do is link to the gallery on facebook (at least it has prices in). https:...

I didn't know that! What are the charities?

I have a copy of the first one... Gotta admit didn't get into really, does the writing style get better? I know it's different authors etc!

Charlie the Bikemonger is stocking the Becker Booze Tube - basically a narrow frame bag, but they say it could hang off the downtube, which seems fairly... interesting! I guess if you had a small triangle, and rigid forks/enough clearance it might be quite good... Gives me some thoughts about my sma...

Ahem yes so I did but I did mean full size adventures none of that disgraceful other sort!

An Exposure Joystick for night adventures... together with one of the 'side-eye' lights. Not sure how useful that will be but it looks cool. :oops: Leg warmers Various assorted blue blingy bits for a geo-location game event in november (my team are the blue guys and I'm signed up for a bike team) in...
