Re: Suggest some 29er rims

I don’t profess to knowing lots about rims but when I did some research before getting my dyno wheel built up, Kinlins seemed to be well thought of and offered a good compromise of weight, reliability and price. I’ve am certainly pleased with my choice 😀 FYI 2 weeks before I left for my attempt at t...

If you want a padded comfy saddle I’d highly recommend this: https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/saddles/terry-fisio-gel-max-comfort-mens-saddle-black/ Had a version of this (Ti rails/leather cover) on my bike when I rode in Central Asia.

Aircraft hand luggage: Dyno light and USB box ok?

Just wondering if my dynamo K light and USB box will be fine in my hand luggage? Think they might have gone with the bike in the hold before but would prefer to have them with me this time in the cabin. Just wondering if the USB box/gizmo might cause alarm and issues with the scanner etc? Someone un...

Hub recommendations?

choice recommendations? I might be getting a new rear wheel built up and although I’ve only had SRAM on my MTBs to date, any good recommendations for hubs? Not sure what the pros and cons are of SRAM, Shimano HD or microspline. I’m being told Shimano do good value hubs with cup and cone bearings. If...

Interestingly at my club some are quite happy riding chinese front bar lights (incl. me) but when it comes to helmet lights, everyone has exposures. Until last week I was using a joystick mk7 400 lumen light and that was fine. However, last week I tried out my Mk14 1050 lumen and that was lovely :-)...

1/2 price Specialized Propero 3 Mips helmet At Evans Cycles £55 In my opinion this is an excellent helmet esp if you want max air flow to cool you down.

Re: Travel insurance for cycling

I bought a policy from
ABTA Travel Sure back in Oct.
From what I remember it covered mtb’ing up to 2500m. I don’t think it was necessarily the cheapest but it looked like it was fairly good cover. Like you, I was more interested in the health cover than the loss/theft personal effects etc

Re: How to.... Take your bike on a plane

Good to read the various replies. My first time of flying with my bike was a few months ago when I had to get back from Spain.
