Big thumbs up to Straight Cut from me.

18 months!! I'd be happy to get 12 months from a set of tyres, or 6 with continuous use. It does sound like you have issues that might be covered by warranty, although a wonky tyre also sounds like it isn't seated correctly. Panaracer like all tyre companies will make different versions of a tyre, u...

Is that OK Matt

Are you searching for commission?

Perhaps not the most helpful reply, but I have a thermarest bag that's a few years old. Good well into minus temperature. It was good value at the time and while it's not the lightest or smallest, overall I really like it. I get far less down lost than Alpkit bags, although suspect that is largely d...

Still available and around 20 remaining.

On-the-fly tyre pressure adjustment, yours to pre-order for €2.219,00. More on CyclingTips... Just - why?* * no need for any suggestions - you'll not convince me and trying would just be a waste of all our time :wink: 10 years ago maybe I could have seen the benefit as back then like many I was con...

I have a kLite and find it perfect. It is the road version and I haven't used anything else to compare.

When deciding I looked into others and the throw. The Exposure seemed too wide, with a spot. The SON looked good and would have been my second choice.

Oooops, sorry!
I think being Cornwall, waiting until Winter will be best.

One batch of 10 sold. I still have ~30 left.

Highlander XTP Lite 80 litre dry bag (marked as DB113). The bags are brand new, unused. All bags are black and numbered with 3 digit number, not consecutive and random mix. Essentially unused stock from an event. Selling them either individually for £8 +postage or I can do bulk deals. Up to 10 perha...

Miss Grape frame bag, 40cm in length. 6cm in width. Suits MTB or gravel/road.

VGC, no marks, rips, etc.

Photos on request. PM for any more info.

£40 posted.

You can have the soloist pitched in under 5 minutes pretty easily and under 3 minutes with some practice. I wouldn't let that be an instant no to certain tents as I am sure there are others that are also brilliant and inner first.

Ah, that legislation must be why Man vs Horse vs Bike dropped the bike element in the late 80s. Don’t know why horses are still allowed to race on bridleways though. You can also close a footpath and then legally race bikes upon it, but you are not able to close a bridleway to have a race. I have a...

If you saw the huge, in-depth risk assessments that genuine, certified British Cycling road races have to go through and the staffing and marshalling that is needed, such as motorcycle NEG who have powers to stop traffic, perhaps then you might see why classing it as a race is so difficult. If a rid...

I am fortunate to have a few options. For good weather I love the Gatewood cape. It is light, small and versatile. I made a DIY groundsheet and Stu's carbon pole and it works really well. That said, if I could only have one then I do really like the Alpkit Soloist tent. It might not be perfect, but ...

There are lights that can compete in terms of light output, but no other companies I know of with such good customer service.

Within the road bike market, 110% of internal width was quoted to me as a minimum by SRAM.

So that would be 55mm or 2.1", if 50mm is internal.

The waypoints are what make this route, you'll know the checkpoints but won't have a clue where you have to go in-between until the waypoint locations are revealed the day before the event. To be given checkpoints last minute would be me swearing at a Garmin on a regular basis :grin: but it's good ...

https://www.abikerace.co.uk/ Seems a teensy bit like an Audax with less planning on behalf of the organiser coupled with a price increase by several orders of magnitude. Or perhaps I'm just being an old cynic. I guess the big difference is that an Audax purposely tries to avoid any racing, whereas ...

Anyone know what's the situation with this? Unless the followmyride link on the first post has broken, the event seems to have ground to a halt in Fort Augustus. The event website seems woefully short on info, possibly due to the organisers actually taking part in the ride. I assume the final stage...

I can't say I have noticed more than usual, but I do wonder how and why all these ants know to start flying at the same time.
Is it some kind of lunar pull or sense? Because surely it can not be temperature or rain based. It does always seem to be relatively close to August BH.

Just here or have the last few days felt very much like the arrival of winter or at least late autumn has arrived early? I find it quite depressing myself. I might be a little lower down and on the coast, but 19 degrees today on what was a very wet ride, so still very much shorts and jersey weather...

After doing this recently I would say... The first 100km is very average. Nothing special and pretty flat. The scenery is nowhere near as good as it gets and traffic is heavy on A roads in places. From Loch Caron to Kinlochewe is nice, although Bealach na ba I would do really, really early in the mo...

Essentially Golazo organise this and they are a big international company and one that have been pushing the UCI to recognise gravel as separate cycling format. They are the company that organise the Gran Fondo World Series/Championship and that is run through the UCI. They also run big UCI cyclo-cr...

Clear divide in the time trial between those that did not race the Tour (or went home early) and those that rode whole thing and had the 3 weeks in their legs? Personally, I don't think so. Look at Carapaz, winning the RR and 3rd at the Tour. What is different is the top 3 are all TT specialists an...
