No snow here in the south lakes

As the others have said the defrosters are now wider and proper sizing, I have the road and Mtb version and wear a pair of merino socks with them and have lovely toasty feet now.

Yes it will be fine, I run my slx mech with a über bike 42 expander and xt cassette. As others have said, adjust the B screw

I’ve put a minion SS on the back, I live in the lakes so good draining rocky trails, I’ve done 4 rides with it on and really like it, a lot gripper than I thought and really quick rolling, I had a HR11 on before and it won’t be going back on! Going to get the 29er version for the hardtail.

Halfords do 5 tubes for £10

Uberbike 30 nw works fine on mine

Really like my defrosters, water will still get in the top of them but still keep my feet warm when wet.

I’m a joiner and use these for all day everyday use http://m.screwfix.com/p/dewalt-dcd795d2-gb-18v-xr-2-0ah-li-ion-cordless-combi-drill-brushless-motor/94484 great bit of kit, interchangeable batteries for jigsaw/skilsaw etc.
These are great value http://m.screwfix.com/p/dewalt-dcd776c2-gb-18v-1-3ah-li-ion-cordless-combi-drill-xr/17648 if it’s more occasional use.

Another vote for the keter one, I got mine from b&q for £45.

Sounds a bit pricey to me for a cash in hand job, I’m a joiner/kitchen fitter aswell!

Cgerny give me a follow

They are showing the 650 Purgatory on there Facebook site a week or so ago,not sure about the butcher

Sam I’m sure Biketreks in Ambleside have them in stock

I’ve been using the SRAM one for a couple of months and it works really well, I got mine from wiggle bug I can’t remember how much I paid

Agree with zelak the high roller 2 TR 2.3’s are really good, I got mine from nextdaytyres

I usually wait til after 6 when the traffic has calmed down a bit, we have about 3 miles of busy traffic to get through before we get to quiet country roads, I use my solar storm light on the front on the low setting on the busy lit roads but put in on the middle setting when we get to the quiet unlit roads, at least to rear flashing LEDs on the back, we normally get two 35/40 mile night rides in a week.

Same here, it’s nice not to have a 1 1/2 hour road trip in the car and 20 mins washing the bike.

I’m a joiner and kitchen fitter and would buy dewalt, I have had makita cordless drills and had problems with the batteries in drills and a cordless saw. If you can get a li-ion battery drill.

Hebdencyclist how much of a discount did you get if you don’t mind me asking?

I’ve just put a high roller 11 on the front to replace the high roller, first ride with it tomorrow so I’ll let you know. The side knobs look a bit more like the minions.

Another happy defroster owner here :-)

I’ve been using a 27.2mm one for nearly a year with no problems, I just clean it after every ride and put a bit of oil on it and it has been great.

6’2″ on a 20″ five and I find it perfect for me

Another vote for the Endura windchill.

I really like the candy apple green, how much is it for a respray?

Hi lo for me, had it for over a year with no problems :)

I’ve just ordered the SRAM one from wiggle

I’ve been to the ice hotel in Sweden, Norway and few years ago in January and Iceland last year in early march and we have still not seen the northern lights :(

Thanks bails that SRAM one looks perfect for my 70mm stem, just ordered on from wiggle :-)

I really rate the merino ones from decathlon.

Where can you get the frame for £150?

Same as rocketman with the tiny bit of shing shing on my XT brakes but a couple of strokes with the file and they where fine, couple of mates are running them aswell with no problems.

Adidas evil eyes do XS, S and L frames,I have te small and they are very good

just under 6’2″ and I ride a large carbon defy
