Remi Gaillard is your man!

I was chasing a creak for a while, only happened when stood up and really pushing hard. After exhausting all options I took the seatpost out, cleaned it up and re-greased it. Sorted.

Must have been the flex in the frame allowing a bit of movement of the post.

KCNC did a 710mm bar with a 25.4 clamp, superlight too

Ive got a Hope facing tool you can borrow if you’re ever over near Fareham fella.

Norco Fluid 1 HT would be where my money went.

I had the Fluid 2 last year and was v impressed.

Shifter bikes on Instagram is the king of bartape (3rd &4th pics)

A perfect example of when having your name on your bike, running 'euro' style braking and using white bar tape can legitimately be described as 'pro'.

Ive got the Nitto R14 on my bike, they also make the R10 for saddle bags.

Worth pre-ordering online? Or should I just pop into the local one on Thursday morning?

Yeah same story here, its reduced my use of the forum too if Im honest.

Looks familiar, just out of Southwick?

Listened to it twice the whole way through, just as good as Lost in the dream I reckon.

Will probably keep going back to it.

Had the same Wingnut Hyper 2.5 for 9 years, one zip doesnt work anymore but its struggling on.

Will replace with another when it stops being functional.

Loading a gpx onto OSMand is very easy indeed, once its downloaded to the phone it appears automatically and you start navigation in the side menu under “Directions”

However I have not used it for navigating yet, will probably do a short loop soon to how it goes, though mainly I plan to just follow the line on the map rather than turn-by-turn directions.

For use on the road I would really recommend a German light with the cut-off beam pattern to avoid dazzling everyone (not just drivers, cyclists too)

But this may not be best for off road use, depends on what light off road means though I guess.

I have a Schmidt Edelux 2 and it is very good indeed, though I think most of the novelty is just that it is dynamo powered.

Picked mine up this morning, 10.62, what a bargain. Thanks.

Too much now, Generally around 5 quid for coffee and a slice of cake. I guess thats Hampshire for you.

In West Wales it was around 2.50 for the same.

8) A happy result.

I’ve tried it. Cassette is too wide and presses on the hub body so won’t freewheel.

Ah shame. Hope you get it sorted.

wzzzz is right, you can generally use an MTB 11 speed cassette on a 10 speed hub.

The larger sprockets will clear the spokes then. The issue with fitting an 11 speed road cassette is that the smaller sprockets foul the spokes.

An entire summer when I was 15/16. I got good, I am now not so good.

I seem to remember two strained arms/shoulders and a very sore back being the result though.

I nearly crapped myself.

This happens on a regular basis (you’d think I would learn to expect it) pull in to let car past and get a beep of thanks right next to my ear! Actually quite unpleasant although the intent is appreciated.

Some obviously understand how loud a cars horn is and wait until they are 5 metres up the road.

Interested to see any responses, I plan to ride a short section from Cologne to Ludwigshafen in September on the way to Munich.

The relevent Shimano Side-swing mech will do the job for you.

Yep, Just had my last day. Feels good man.

If you do go and try breathing some in!!

I will be impressed if this can be argued against.

Bought a 2007 Vivaro hightop from a van dealership, 150k miles but full service history.

Glad it came with a warranty as I noticed a whine on the motorway which meant a gearbox rebuild, then a couple of weeks later the clutch slave cylinder went which would have also been a large bill.

It was nice to drive and handy, but I sold it when the warranty ran out. Wouldnt buy another if Im honest.

Nope, 1 week left at work, 1 months holiday then cycling to Germany.

Oh, and then going to Australia for a year to continue the summer…

*Smug*

Very happy for EBH, been rooting for him all Tour.

its a 650b x 47mm tyre

But your first image shows it to be 37mm wide?

I stared at the pic for about a minute trying to decide if I was being stupid!

They really are that good.

I’d have one if I had the money.

it allows those who might not be the fittest to enjoy mountain biking.

Fit people can and do ride them too, if you think its impossible to hurt yourself uphill on an ebike you havent ridden one.

double trouble.

Peri-Peri Peregrine.

Just a quick update, the Monzo card arrived this morning, activated it on the app and it worked exactly as it should at the post office and supermarket.

We’ll see how it fares through Europe in a few months time, thanks for all the replies.

Little tip, you can skip the waiting list by entering your email here:

Good to hear all your opinions, I have now got a Monzo card on the way, app was very easy to navigate and the process was quick and easy.

I may get a Revolut card as well, extra backup.

Good to hear, thanks for the input

sporting interests

This is the crux of it, killing artificially introduced animals for fun is as far from a ‘sporting interest’ as you could get (in my opinion, of course).

Go shoot some clay pigeons you wrong’uns.

There is only one answer. Opinel.

From there, you jest need to head to Aberystwyth and your life will be complete.

Agreed 8)

Elan valley is worth a visit, the mountain road to Rhayader from Aberystwyth is lovely.

I’d like one that was something like 14-30

Look up cassettes for youth gearing
