FWIW I opted for an InReach Messenger. I’d rather have more in-contract tracking included than they do with their basic plan but everything else about it suits me. It’ll integrate well with my other Garmin devices and I didn’t think I need the extra nav capability that comes with the Mini 2. The lac...

Yeah. Sorry.

Approximately: 40cm along the top, 29cm vertical and 50cm along the down tube.

Oops. Thanks for that. Good to know. I did some trawling and couldn’t see any 29x3 anywhere.
I guess I can’t retire after all….

Price drop ahoy!

I’ll sort out the pile of tyres this weekend and advertise here first.

I've been running Shwalbe G-one Ultrabites on my gravel bike for the last 12 months, great tyres, would definitely recommend The Ultrabites are the chunkiest variant of G-one? I think so. They are good and grippy but the rubber is quite soft and so they wear down quickly ime. Maybe not the best for...

Shaf: Christianity. The Eye of Providence - a reassuring image of God watching over the world.

James, I like the all thinking brain idea but what I really want are All Turning Legs.

‘An other religion’ may interpret it as the Eye of Providence - a good thing as far they’re concerned.

DNP have leave to appeal the High Court verdict, they just need your money to do it….

An Exposure Revo needs a lot of spinning if it’s been unused for a long time - think it charges a capacitor/battery/something before the lamp lights. Maybe a K Light is similar?

If it works the same way as standard crash detection does on Garmin then it will give a warning and count down to sending the notification.
Not totally convinced by it as a feature per se but it offers something SPOT doesn’t.

The InReach would sync to my Edge or Forerunner device and therefore could be set up with ‘crash detection’ which would automatically press the SOS button. I realise the system isn’t perfect but it’s another tick for Garmin.

Sure. Looking at the link above, it looks like the device switches number for a local prefix when it detects it’s in a new area.

:-bd I'd be interested in hearing more about the FatLab wheels/tyres for my Stooge Mk4 if they became available - assuming they were non-boost. Am also in SW Devon so no postage hassle! Drew. Off the top of my head, I think I’ll have 2 x Bonty XR2 29er 3” tyres, 2 x Bombolino 29x3 - all brand new. 2...

What telephone prefix do you get with InReach?
Is it +44 - a UK number? SPOT apparently is.

Edit - I just found this link:

Some interest in the frame so the extras may be available separately soon.

I recently had a mid ride crash that left me with 3 broken ribs, broken scapula and a cracked humeral head I was on my own and needed to self-extract from Dartmoor. No big drama, I got to the road ok and then decided to carry on to reach my car rather than wait for help to come to me on a cold wet d...

I’m in the early stages of getting ready to sell a 2013-2016 era green Surly Krampus frame. Large. It’s old it’s had a good life and lots of bags attached to it. It’s structurally sound and the paint is fairly intact. The head badge is worn but it still looks nice in a well loved sort of way. It has...

Thanks all. It’s a pretty hard Google mining task this but there are a bunch of Shimano fd’s that have the option of a complete outer cable run but I don’t have Shimano shifters. I’m going to wait till I have the frame in my hands and see what I can come up with - I’m hoping a clamp on cable stop lo...

I need a front derailleur with an integrated cable stop to use on a modern bike with no frame stops.
Ideally SRAM (that’s what my group is already) 2x10.
Anything considered however, what about the Shimano GRX one?

S’not a werewolf we have anyway… it’s a diabolical hound of supernatural origins

Adders on Dartmoor = yes
Chance of seeing one = very low.

It’s the ticks you should be worried about, that and the Hairy Hand.
