you need yellow tape, valves and sealant. Not sure if the valves of the stumpy would work with the Stans rims

Hi Noodle,

I live in Froyle, the other side of Alton. I normally ride 1-2 evenings a week starting at 8 with a few others from around the Alton area. Rides are at a friendly social pace. Normally 12-17 miles in about 2 – 2 1/2 Hours depending on who’s out and trail conditions.
Few routes here – website is very much a work in progress, but does have a few around the Alton area.

You are welcome to come along and try a new route or two out, and a beer or two after.

PS. Think I know the boggy bridleway you mean near Chawton 🙂

IIRC from a few years ago

(Price + postage ) +
5% duty on bike parts +
20% VAT on top of that
+ handling charge.

so for $600oz that would be $156oz + handling charge

Note, does depends what they are classified as
duty on bike parts is approx 5%
duty on complete bikes however is somthing like 18%
Not sure if lights will classify as bike parts or not.

I imported a frame + parts and had the Spanish inquisition as to if it was parts or a complete bike.

cheaper here

You also need a cone spanner and a 10mm allan key, but you can use an old chain instead of a chain whip.

Given whats involved, £40 seems reasonable. I would ask if it includes new bearings.

May be a good time to upgrade to a better wheel?

not worth me driving there, it would be quicker cycling than putting the bike in the car

I go to the main car park with the kids, but I have an annual permit to park there free.

I ride there as I am local, not worth driving.

You have to pay for parking at the Alice Hot Cafe/picnic area, but there is limited free parking on the south side of Abbotts wood. Just above the d of frithend on the 1:50 Map North end of Cradle lane. You can start there and visit the cafe mid ride, the cafe car park also closes at night.

Cradle lane has a nice ford to clean your bike if required 🙂

Devient,
I drag my kids up the zip-zag path now 🙂
The side of Selborne hill that the Zig-Zag path is on is all footpaths. The route I do goes over the back of Selborne Hill. I start from the car park at the bottom of the Zig-Zag path, taking a road around to the bridleway. From there to Noar Hill,Hawkley etc. email me if you want a jpg of the OS 1:50 route

That’s Abbotts Wood enclosure, that side of Alice Holt is all wide fireroads I thought, maybe I need to explore off-piste

Turn off the wifi when using GPS Apps on an iPhone
it makes the battery last much longer

I have both 1:25 of the area I frequently ride and 1:50 of a wider area. I agree 1:25 is very useful for fiddly criss crossing trails, especially at night if you get a bit lost.

I bought viewranger with about £25 of 1:25 maps and got £15 over the air downloads which I used for downloading 1:50. This got a big area of 1:25 and a huge area of 1:50, with spare credit for 1:50 downloads as required.

If you want online 1:50 OS map route creation, checkout the new ViewRanger site. The my.viewranger.com site now allows you to create routes online using your purchased 1:50 OS Maps, then save and sync to iphone.
Couldn’t be easier.
You can sync recorded tracks back, tweek them on OS Maps and save as routes also.

Devient – quality answer

Also intrigued by the woods you mention opposite the AH!!
which bits am I missing on my doorstep?

Have you tried Selborne, noar hill and hawkley hanger, short drive, there is some good riding.selbourne route linky no idea if this will work

Pace is leisurely, occasionally gets faster depending on who’s out
You’ll keep up no problems

Doug,

I have some gps routes hindhead, puttenham, ceasars camp, alice holt direction if you want them. (I just need to work out how to export them off the iPhone)

Are you going to be able to make a Tuesday or Thursday night ride, now your nearer?

Martin (from football)

Thanks, will check the valve core first
Think it’s gonna be new seals though

Yes, some of the deal extreme lights come that sort of battery
They are heavy, and on mine the LED display broke within days of receiving it, however, the battery does still work.

You did everything correct, except go for a ride, this continues the sloshing and will seal up any leaks.

Second hand Ridgeback Scoot (from STW about £50 IIRC) has served my son well.
Just need to get him to ride his bike with pedals now he’s 4 1/2, he just loves the balance bike too much

Relube with finish line wet.
If bike is very dirty, chain gets hosed with water rest of bike, wiped dry, GT 85, wiped, lubed with finish line wet. Job done.

Used about 10 sets over the last few years without a problem
good value.

17″ 725 version in green with 120mm forks, I’m 5 10
Fantastic Frame, the full sus is used very little now. Handles well with 120 forks

Old 120 Marzocchi’s on mine,
Great handling bike, love it, loadsa fun
The green is great

Would like to try a longer fork

technology issues with phone, pic should be with you shortly.

Shouldn’t have selected 2MB option 🙂

2.1
will take a pic shortly, it will be with my phone, but will do my best.

I have a little worn exception 62a folding.
< 100 miles, Very light at near 500g
it has a thorn hole in remember getting a pucture with it, I didn’t run tubeless but this should seal no problems. 🙂

decided I preferred advantages

£11 posted

Got one of the newer 725 PA’s and loving it. Great frame.

Either, look for “Dual Pull design for use with top or bottom cable routing” in the description

But the orange one in the stock room was green,
Green it is then

Finally found a picture of an orange one with white forks and ordered an orange one.

🙂

Thanks

Martin..

I thought the section from Frensham Manor to Great Pond was fairing the weather well when I rode it last week. It’s been much worse in previous years, but it has rained a lot in the last week.

Interested in the meetings, but 6:30 is a really difficult time for me due to having kids, if it was an hour or so later it would be much easier to get to.

<hijack>
I regularly ride this and surronding area’s with a group of friends normally Tuesday nights, all welcome.
</hijack>

Hooter,
It as me you got the tandem off.
Glad to hear it still lives on

Martin..

SSS well impressed, not sure I'd attempt that on a solo, deffo not on a tandem.

When I first took our original tandem out, we went down the road and failed to make the corner at the bottom, as my girlfriend (now wife) tried to keep the bike bolt upright which prevented it turning the corner. Was a steep learning curve. Most important things is communication.

Current Tandem not used often as new little-un is too small, and trying to work out if a childseat and 2 in the trailer is gonna work 🙂

how big is the original file, and what format do you want it in?
May be able to do it for you if it's not too big using OJOsoft total video convertor.
mail me

It's more economical as our current scenic, being diesel not petrol, co2/tax is slightly more however.
807 (2003-) got 5 ncap stars c8 and fiat haven't been tested but are the same chassis/VINs as the 807 so says the ncap report so should also be 5 stars.
Our current scenic gets 4 stars
So it's safer than our current car
our other little car (my commuter) only gets 3 stars!

Yes, the 4 1/2 goes on a booster in the middle as we have no other choice, the 3 yr old is in an isofix front facing seat on one side and the 0yr old is in a rear facing car seat.
It takes a long time to get them in the car, doing the buckles up is very difficult as you can't get to them as the car seats are in the way.
And then the double buggy (3 wheeler twin) doesn't fit in the boot with the dog.
Currently have an older shape French Renault Scenic, and only bits to fall off have been due to me scrapping the car against stationary objects.

the 08 onwards belingo multispace is too expensive, I looked at one last year and did like it though.

budget £5000ish

kids are 0,3,4 1/2

Had previously looked at the new belingo, may look again at it

like Moses said, Statutary Declaration is the way to go, easy and Cheap.

My wife and I changed our surnames after we got married adding the Mc from her surname to mine to make McRiley.

Had a few issues with Orange refusing to change the name on my mobile, but they saw sense eventually. Apart from that it was easy to change it with everyone, you just send them a photocopy of the declartion.
