Hmm seems my doubts about being to hot are valid…

Will look for light event shell me thinks

Tried to log support with Garmin … Even their website doesn’t work!!! How good is that!

Withings looks good. Assume you don’t need to do anything to log weight once setup?

[*]Update – have used Garmin 500 a few times now. Seems to work well. For road cycles I load my GPX (created coarsely in memorymap) into MapMyRide. It can then snap the route to the roads. Then I export as GPX (just save over the original file) and load into Garmin for verifying and sending to the GPS.

Post ride I only import to MapMyRide. Seems to work well.

Danny B. good advice! Will try that and see what happens.

Laminate floor

I just bought a Garmin Edge 500 for the same reason (plus wanted something more robust). Issue is however that it seems VERY convoluted to get routes onto the device or Garmin Connect website. As most outdoor people I create my routes using OS Map software (memory map). These can be saved as GPX files. However you CANNOT import GPX onto device or the garmin site. I find this totally ridiculous! You have to go through a series of file manipulation to make this work.

Why the **** can’t life be simple for once!!!

Anyhoo…have ordered the rims and let you know how it goes.

Edukator …. Yes there does seem to be some conflicting information!

Rims are here

http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/RIGIKEN29TD/gipiemme_kenya_29er__disc_rim

The new rims are Gipiemme Kenya 29er Disc Rims, the old ones are Alex DF23

Ha…it’s a set of cross come touring wheels….hopefully xt centre lock disc hubs on Gipiemme Kenya 29er Disc Rims

Having ridden MTB for many years and I think only once replaced a BB I’m frustrated at why these are packing up so quickly. Perhaps the loads when touring are too much.

Cheers Rob

.. Also can an ultergera BB be used with a 105 Chainset?

thanks all. stupid question but anywhere hilly nearby in Germany?

Well RX100 arrived as promised from HK. Have posted some test shots here…all taken with auto settings.

DP Review

Thanks. The future park sounds cool…

Lea & Perrins!

Rockhopper yes I’m sure the wife would appriciate some improvement in the stomach area! However as I’m mostly lazy I’ve moved my seat back a touch and put on a longer stem! Reckon is was sitting too over he bars..

So I have an RX100 on route from Hong Kong right now, due to be here on Friday. Will let you know how I get on and post some sample pictures!

Hey stumpy got a copy of AP; quite a positive review.. Interestingly they also note it has the same image chip as the NEX 7 which must be good news!

Cool.. Looks like I’ll pick up a copy of the mag..

Some good test pics here for anyone interested.

Yes the mode selector does appeal…find the menu system on NEX not ideal.

There is a find duplicates feature iTunes. If that don’t work you could try using the iTunes match service which is great if you also want to back up your entire collection to the cloud. It will identify all duplicates.

Thanks globalti; My other bike is also an Sworks Roubaix and I have no problems on that. The bike in question here is a genesis croix de fer which is steel with a cromo fork. Going to swap stem today and see if that improves matters.. The bars at carbon cycles look tempting too…

Me again…. After looking at all suggestions here I reckon I’m placing too much weight on my wrists and hands. Going to try for a stem with a rise to see if that helps.

Hmm…going to expensive to migrate to crank bros on all 4 bikes…

Is the contact / support area greater on MTB or Road pedals.

Thanks all…yeah tried not gripping too hard and moving hands around regularly. Think some thicker bar tape is the answer…..what’s there is very thin!

Thanks all….good point on London eye especially.

Any other food recs welcome. …

Yes CountZero 4s locks on to gps very quickly

Good tip spw3

Thanks all. Kids are aged 4, 7 and 43!

Thanks cougar but he’s keen on the three wheeled variety

between a Scott Scale JR 20, Hotrock 20 and Islabike Beinn 20 for my lad.

Scott looking favourite….

Cheer all!
