Been running Shimano resin and they have been spot on but people rave about the Uberbike ones.

I’ve used Pedal North for the Lancashire routes, all been fine.

Thanks for the suggestions. Vitus does look a little urban, as many want to fit some suspension in the future may.

So 18″ inbred should be ok at 5ft8? I’ve been dismissing them!

Inbred i need a 16″ I’m 5ft8.

Cheers I’ll keep an eye out, been looking for an Inbred but I need a 16″. They seem quite rare.

Etrex 20 is great for navigating. Just need to buy proper maps for it though!

Good luck all, I’ll be following the dots!

Is he still doing this? Just noticed his name doesn’t appear on the tracker website

X2 for Trance

Cheers Wheelie, what mount do you use with that cradle?

I have a Etrex 20 and the bike mount is utter shit and your unit will fall off it if not secured.

Same here also! Which RAM mount are you using?

I have an etrex 20. It’s not fancy but it’s pretty good as a multi-use gps. AAs mean battery life isn’t an issue (get probably around 24 hours out of a pair, if not more). It’s chunky and looks pretty unfashionable on a bike compared to the more fancy biking ones. The bike mount isn’t that great (I use a cable tie to make sure it doesn’t come off!). Usability isn’t the best (e.g. panning and zooming are very slow) – certainly compared to smart phone map apps. Don’t know how it compares to the Oregon model. Navigating in the hills isn’t easy on any thing with a small screen as inevitably you can’t see the detail and the bigger picture at the same time. I normally load a gpx before I set out and follow the coloured line. If I’m in the mountains I’ll have a paper map too.

Despite all those caveats, I think it’s great. The tart in me still wants a fancy slim model for my road bike though!

I agree, even with its downfalls its still a fantastic device for the price.

Had 6 of these between me and my mates. I use one on my bars and one on my helmet. Have bars on wide and helmet on narrow, lasts 3 – 4 hours normally. My mate just uses the 1 and gets on fine. You could get 2 for your budget though.

Good on you for doing this :D

Anyone else have any idea?

Thanks for your help Tim, will the oil amounts be the same as this manual is 2015?

You need an external device.

Watched the documentary ones from there now. Seeing if there was anymore, sick of the freeride films! :lol:

Never heard of that before, just finished watching it. We’ll worth a watch, very interesting and quite in depth into the roots of mtb origins!

Another shout for Rivi, join up with surrounding areas and there’s plenty to go at for a big ride.

Great route posted up by grannyjone a while back –

Recommended on Money Saving Expert. Don’t charge anything to the buyer and got us a good deal.

Went and picked one up last night, just took my cassette off in minutes, the same one that snapped my chain whip.

Found a way round this!

@ Olly2097

good idea, my problem is I need to be riding around 7am to make it worth it.

If it’s a pay and display would be idea.

Any references to location? I think I’ve done that route many years ago from Llandegla, turn left near the top of the climb, back to the forest via some planks.

As above, get a second hand Etrex 20.

How much is parking? Do you pay inside or do you need correct change for a machine?

£4 last time I went, you pay as you drive in, little hut.

Make the ride better and park up world’s end and cycle across the offas dyke bridleway. Great trail back down to the car.

Do you have a Strava or route link for this? Quite fancy it next time I go.

I’ve got a Yeti ASR5 frame I should sell, but I’m half tempted to hold onto it for a few years, old Yetis in decent nick seem to have their fans.

Is this for sale?

I like the idea, I’d have a go if it was nearby!

Boardman looks great for the money

Also on the lookout for bargains to, looking for a 650b full sus frame I can use with a tapered 120mm 26er fork?

Are 26er forks on in a 650b frame then?

Not personally but have a friend who rides one and he rates it highly. Good deal on this one from Orange if your after a medium –
