I emailed Troutie twice – didnt recieve a one reply.
So I guessing he not doing the upgrade anymore? Or he just too important & busy to reply??

You need to remember he isn’t ‘chainReaction” with staff waiting to answer every enquiry within time limits.

even during TT the roads aint that busy on th west and north coast. April is tumbleweed
🙂

I think there is a free 1:25000 leisure map to download on the garmin site.

Roads are quiet and pretty safe.

Wild camping is a bit limited over here,(Isle of Man obviously) if you want Garmin .GPX
routes to follow i could prob sort them out for you pointing out camp sites on route.

Some or the coastal route is a bit hairy in places and wouldn’t suggest you take your lads on them but the road alternative is never far away to avoid.

Do you have a .gpx of your route?

Looks amazing BTW

premium is just under 15 quid that allows you do download a certain amount of maps. It does all start to add up though when you subscribe to online maps for plotting.

Edit to add:

Had a few issues setting it up and sent an email to support and got a reply out of hours within half an hour.

Its a great app Just wasn’t suitable for full day rides for me.

yeah i did all that HNR but i found i was constantly babysitting the battery.Bare in mind i was riding solo in unknown areas with only large scale backup paper maps. I found myself in a situation where i had 20% battery life showing 15 mile from start point. dead battery = dead lifeline = no navigation.

For short rides with a backup phone or indeed a phone that you can swap batteries view ranger is brilliant.

I asked the same question a few weeks ago and was pointed to the view ranger app,

I down loaded the app, bought the 1:25K maps of the lakes and a holder for the bike, Using an iPhone 4.

This allowed me to load in routes for me to follow when in areas I’m unfamiliar with and opened up a whole new world for me.

All great stuff, BUT using an iPhone 4 on a ride over 4 hours the battery was ready to die and with no means od changing the battery i was snookered.

Bit the bullet and bought a Garmin 800 trail bundle i the end. must say though i found view ranger better to use.

cheers for the heads up muggomagic on view ranger.
I got myself a good case and have been trailing it at home here and seems to work a treat. Need to mention customer support as its second to none, had a few niggly questions and both have been answered out of hours in under 10 minutes. unbelievable really.

Anyway got myself a 1;25000map of the lakes and downloaded a few routes to follow, can’t wait to use it in anger.

thanks people you have answered my questions and I’ve found what i need,

Gone with the view ranger and downloaded routes from links above.

Perfect. ok well will tell you how i get on in a few weeks.

thanks for info so far guys,

traveled 150 mile or so plus a ferry trip, gears were giving me bother so yeah I paid and fitted it. thought it was a little steep though.

Found i already had a spare inner with me after i fitted it.

As for englandshire? Me? no chance

Parts in the hand are worth twice the price as parts at home i guess

walking in the garage bare foot and stud on a 3 pin plug, i reacted by ducking and chipped my tooth on the flat bars of my old mongoose bmx.

the promo code is 5756

+1 for the new moon restaurant , had another lovely meal there last week and very reasonable priced.

Get a parrot bluetooth hands free kit fitted, comes with ipod/usb/rca adaptor and unbeatable moblie hands free. will will even show the album cover on the small lcs screen,

I was going to say Ragley but it wont be any good with the forks you have for the build.

i have one, i guess you would call me a apple fan boy but i wouldnt have anything else now, beautifully engineered bit of equipment that will still have resale value in 3 years time,

sure you could get 29er ztr crest on hope pro 2 for 330 quid.

yes the forks are talas adjustable height

Im based in the isle of man, but travel regular to the lakes and scotland if anyone keen.

Truth is i just dont ride it anymore and seems a shame to just have it hanging in the garage.

size= medium

a chain is always handy 😀

any sign of these yet?

yes you can but if the nano is plugged into another itunes all tracks will be deleted.

you can cheat a Riello burner also to continuously run by removing the 20v white wire that comes from the motor, later RDB Riello burners you cheat the same as they have a removable photo-cell.

note 🙂

just looked at hotlines and chainreaction both showing months delivery. i love the helix look,

Mollyiom – wrong – Riello burners will not lift oil, most burners fitted with a Danfoss oil pump will however.

That aside, 500l should be plenty to run a boiler, bleed oil line, reconnect and off you go, in theory. But make sure to get a steady stream of oil before reconnecting. Also make sure it is oil and not water as if you have run a steel tank very low you could have dragged some water and muck through.

bear, you are wrong, it may not be recommended but it will lift oil, but im not wanting a who can piss the highest comp here, if you know about oil burners, like ‘know’ you know it will lift the oil.

Know what i mean? 🙂

Oh and wheely good the answer to your question as to why they dont make something to bleed these things, they do, its called a tigerloop

Love it, this is the frame I was after but couldnt get a large, ended up getting a Ragley td-1

unless you boiler is a vaporising burner you plumber is talking shite, ANY pressure jet burner will LIFT oil 10foot at least, you either have muck in the oil line or your plumber just doesnt know what he is doing. i suspect the latter. 🙂

Im looking the ragley ti 29er, anyway i ordered the 18″

anyone?

im 6′ tall. Im ready to push the button to complete sale but hesitating on size, my 18″ 29er scandal fits nice

On a 26″ rim?? do you wear a skirt? “

No should I, would it improve my mountain biking by airing my knackers, might it not chafe a bit?

I think the lowest gear on my Alfine set up would be higher than the lowest gear on my stock Giant Trance (19.9″ against 16.8″) presumably you’ll let Giant know the error of their ways?

I believe you may be, as my father would say, a jennet.

I bet you sit down to wee also. chill out ffs

32/22, low at the top end but I like low gears and tend to spin rather than push

On a 26″ rim?? do you wear a skirt?

Do people actually use granny rings these days?
