aha great, thanks. I will try those tips with mine later too 🙂

no, I have the same problem 🙁

better off-road 😉 http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/london-to-brighton-off-road

most questions answered I think, other than 7.5hrs is around an ‘average’ kind of time to do it in.

Great event, very friendly and you are allowed your bikes on the trains at the end 🙂

even has the name on the map for yer.

Head south east along it i.e. from Peck farm

ctc for me

Don’t fear they are around still.

I’ve seen one on the Isle of Wight (dead), Braunton (alive) and somewhere else (can’t remember now) in the last couple of years.

Look harder 😉

hmmm, i’m usually 44 in Shimondo & Spesh without winter socks so maybe I’ll need 2 sizes up. Any other experiences?

Thanks. I have too many mini usb cables. I’ve tried a few but it looks like the Garmin requires it’s own specific one as it’s not reading it properly, just charging it up. Arse.

thanks everyone. am going to the shops (armed with some knowledge now) this weekend 🙂

I don’t think I’ll be attempting (m)any tricks.

I feel old 😉

Thanks people. A few people think 24″ wheels are a good choice then, great, thats what I was hoping for (I’m 6ft2″ as well and really wan’t sure how I’d handle a 20″ wheel). Kayak – are you saying keep it real with 20″?

do I take the lack of replies as a ‘don’t do it’? 🙁

phew. I thought someone had stolen Sheffield then!!! 😯

B@stards. Will keep an eye and ear open (for the bike). Good luck

love my Endura FS260. Also got some Polaris non bibs which are ok, don’t think the chamois will last too long though.

really want some skins 3/4. The shorts are excellent. Just sooo pricey 🙁

thanks.

only teasing. fair point & maybe worth wiping it down with something if you
can as they can scratch up a bit. not sure it’d kill it though.

I’ve got a (unbranded) carbon post, with lots of post showing and its sooooo comfy.
I don’t change its height. man up and don’t drop it if you care about scratching it 😉

my garden has got a lot bigger since yesterday… got fence panels down either side 🙁

already done 🙂

don’t race and it saves on rims and actually stops me too
so I can ride faster, and steeper trails.

all excited…. until I found out its a road ride 🙁

Hope it goes well though.

we’ve got giro flumes which look like xc helmets and are good.
pi$$ pot style would be good but have a shorter life as the sizing isn’t as adjustable.

join groupon – they’ve had some amazing deals on.
got a great one for under £300.

thanks jr.

bugger. almost ordered the 600 from Amazon but couldn’t log on in time 🙁

🙂 ok

great, thanks guys. v useful. I will stick with standard lens and look at getting a flash rather than another lens then.

thanks pugwash – I hadn’t stumbled seen that site before. cheers

thanks Don. I read lots of those, but they didn’t answer my questions.

was also thinking/hoping some people might have info on January sales offers/bundles.

ah ok, I did search (as I guessed it was a hot topic) but didn’t see anything (at the top). I will look further down the list 🙂

Thanks, just wanted to get a bit of knowledge (so I don’t get too bamboozelled) before I go into town to part with a large wedge of cash at Jessops (which seems to be a good a place as any).

re lenses: I noticed some come as just bodies. Its just for taking pictures of cycling (riders and landscapes then) mostly (don’t know if 1 general lense will be enough).

no, don’t try, test and get advice from a shop then buy cheaper on-line 👿 Buy with them too.

I have the MT500 3/4’s and love them.

great, ok thanks and thanks for the links

nah, bugger down south, thanks.

Pieface – does it record the virgin/cable channels or just the freeview channels on the box?

thanks. I tried the old ‘i’m leaving trick’ but no offer of free box and I’m on a very old package, which is pretty good and I don’t want to loose, which I would if I really did leave though.

They’re saying I need to upgrade my tv channel to include even more channels I won’t and don’t want to watch to get the ‘free’ TiVo box.

Thanks purist – looks interesting and I found one on flea-bay. Want it in time for Christmas though 😕

over/comfort eating of lardy feel good foods = 29%
breathing in cold air, cold inefficient muscles and lack of the body being able to breath = 37%
air density = 1%
the rest is just you being lazy so MTFU and speed up 🙂

I’ve got a route, e-mail me.
will be able reply tomorrow.

wiggle had some mobi washers discounted.

I like it hugh 😆
Think i’m pretty much decided then, the 26 is on the ropes and looking groggy 😉

hmm, i’m going to have to look up those boxers fight statistics & history now 😐
