Re: Wiggle goes into administration
Did they try and sell? Seems odd to wind down and close even with the issues in the industry Interesting link on STW. Both Isla & Tim are Quakers and as such aren't out to extract every last penny from the business. Also, they aren't closing are they, just not making more bikes and will continu...

Re: What Water Purification Tablets?
Never had a problem with Oasis tablets. You could always take one of those mini concentrated squash bottle to hide it, or an isotonic tablet.

Re: The post man's been ...
Like many others, a pair of Five Tens have arrived. A pair of Freerider EPS mid-tops which now I'm thinking seem almost too nice for riding in the Winter!

Re: Bargain Alert Thread
Can only speak for the Norwich branch of Evans but there was a massive pile of all sorts of 5-10s in a range of sizes. Might be worth a trip if you have one near by.

Hi I'm new to this site, I entered bb200 in October and my question is would a Wahoo Bolt v2 be suitable for navigation off-road Yeah, I've done a fair of navigation in the area around BB Towers with the original elemnt so a newer one should be fine as long as you have battery. I do also like havin...

Re: Lachlan Morton on the great divide
Canny move by LM, sets a blistering time, shows that it doesn't have to mean riding yourself into unconsciousness and has carried it out in a way that still keeps Mike's record on top for those that feel strongly about it. Very much looking forward to the video.

Re: New Bike Gear Out And Due Out...
Yes and it was all done to save weight and now those cassettes weigh 600g + ( unless you get very spendy) so you no longer save weight over 2 x ...and simplify drivetrains, make them less susceptible to grotty conditions, not bounce off on bumpy terrain, allow bigger tyre and mud clearances for fra...

Re: Lachlan Morton on the great divide
Aside from how well you know the route or how much prep you do you can make any weekend ride more self-sufficient by carrying your own food. If I carry all my food and top up with diesel at my local Tesco I can travel from Suffolk and spend a long weekend in Wales all while contributing nothing to ...

Re: Taping frame
For short trips, I too now use electrical tape. Easy on and off, no mess, cheap and as the frame is black, it's not unsightly. With the proprietary tapes, I find dirt gets under the edges and looks manky and it's always there. Yep, my best results have always been with electrical tape, it contours ...

Re: New 500km event in Wales
On the day I signed up I had trouble making payment. I later got an email saying there was a glitch and to try again as it was sorted.
My mate just messaged to say he'd been charged twice for entry. I just had a look and I've been charged four times!
Deffo worth checking your CC transactions...
