Does it have an R rating and/or any insulation?

Looks like 500g and no insulation. You can get a synmat-lite for £45.

I'm pretty sure my mate got something very similar for £12 delivered. I'll see if I can find a link...

Ok, maybe £15 all in.

Not sure what the appeal of those mats is. Was it the colour Jon?

My ebay pillow lasted for three trip so about a week of sleeping.
not saying this will be this poor but its going to be more of a risk IME

That's not actually true...

Which bit are you disputing ?Quick google says in the EU for customs nionand single market - so buying selling travelling etc is fine but we have left/are not particpating in the political parts [ as we are leaving so they wont affect us]
I guessyou can argue it either way but for buying purposes nothing changes till the 31/12/20

Yeah that's pretty much it. We're not actually in the EU any more but we've paid for access to the CU and SM until the end of the year.

so we are not in but we are in
as clear as any other message the govt send us
stay in but go to work etc

staggered starts - its a new event each time

NO i am not being serious but i bet you could argue your case and its more sensible, and safer , than driving your family to test your eyesight

So group ride ITTs are on as long as you remained 2m apart and no more than 6 people??

It's not difficult to see how Time Trials could be restarted if everyone was assigned a start time and only turned up just before they were due to set off/cleared off immediately afterwards. I've not seen any restrictions placed on golf clubs to ensure that only one pair of people are on the whole course at any given time and this isn't fundamentally different.

I know the welsh golf courses have been strict, only allowed pairs if both are members and from the same household. If not, single tee only and all the tee off times have doubled in the time between them. Seems about right to me

dont disagree scots i think we can be certain its being thought of

ITTS could do the same but the overnight camping part is an issue

Can we not keep this covid bollox out of at least one thread

Not a bargain per se, but a great cheap solution to cable/hose routing on the bike. The self adhesive pads work but I chose to add a thin cable tie on smaller diameter tubes.

I think this is decent deal but could be wrong. CRC are selling off Exposure dynamo hubs in QR15 form for £90 (with code). I hope that this is a rebadge of the 15mm axle version of the Shutter Precision hub.

My QR Exposure hub certainly was ... knowing so came in handy after it self destructed after 500 miles and Exposure wanted nowt to do with it. SP were very good though.

I'm not sure how encouraged I should be by that...

It's tricky, my QR SP dynamo has lasted ages. My 15mm one lasted a few days... SP/Ison did replace it without fuss.

I have broken 3 15mm sp hubs and won’t buy another. The first went 3 months out of warranty and was replaced by a rebuilt one which lasted about 3 rides. They wouldn’t replace that as it was already a rebuild.
I have owned a SON for the past few years and, although expensive in comparision, it has been trouble free (so far!)

As JS says, the qr version seems to be more reliable.

My "Exposure" SP15 is still going fine. However, as I've previously posted, I much prefer my Shimano XT dynamo hub. It just seems to give a brighter light at lower speeds. It's QR only though.

I am with SR, as soon as a disc version of a Dyno hub was available I bought one,a deore xt , it has done 10's of thousands of off road miles,been fully submerged in river crossing's , touch wood, still going strong, (I have never serviced it !)
As SR also states,it works at very low speeds, critical when climbing at night on 24hr or night enduro events.
As beautiful as the other hubs are to look at,the xt is less than 1/2 the price ,as we said on another thread about getting what you pay for.....

Seems like a good price for a rear mech extender?

a deore xt , it has done 10's of thousands of off road miles,been fully submerged in river crossing's , touch wood, still going strong, (I have never serviced it !)

It's a cup and cone bearing though, I'd check it sooner rather than later. A real benefit of the Shimano dyno hubs is being able to service them at home (currently debating Shimano or SON28 on that basis)
