My wedding ring is from https://www.shirubatree.co.uk/… its got wood in it!!

RE Maxxis…. how do you get BOGOF? Or are those deals now gone?

Just start with a facebook group and see how it goes? A ‘proper’ club with officers and everything is way too much hassle I would imagine!

Lezyne… end of discussion ;)

I use a Micro Floor Drive HV guiding and many people have bought them after seeing it in action!

Flare Clothing had an extra 20% off with the code:

Roost jerseys are great over a baselayer ar this time of year.

Yep the diagram ^^ is for tyres, which measure outside width, whereas rims measure internal width… typically confusing for the bike industry!! Thanks all.

ETRTO 23 so internal I’m pretty sure!

Last question!! Rims are Giant 23mm but the kit above is 21mm or 25mm… best to go 25 right?

Cheers, what should I be looking for rim strip wise?

This?

Good riding is a wee way out of Marrakech in the Atlas Mountains, so you’ll need some transfers but it is possible. Experienced and qualified guides aren’t as cheap as you might think! And many will be earning as much as guides in a lot of European countries. I can’t recommend any particular daytrip organisers though as we only do longer tours there.

We’ve got a bit on in April, mainly Sardinia and Andalucia:
Skedaddle in April

Might have a 60mm kicking around in mint condition. Let me know if interested.

Trailside repair method (if riding with a group)….

If you have an older wheel with shimano hub then you can take the QR out and thread the end of the axle into the hanger. You then use the wheel to ‘adjust’ the hanger until it and the rear wheel in the frame are more-or-less parallel. Works quite well actually!

Edit: What Northwind said ^^^^^

Scope bar turned up today. Good finish, good weight. very happy!

Yep, same as every day. The bike shed at work had all the same bikes as usual in there and I didn’t notice any extra bikes on the way in.

Bought one of these at the beginning of the summer to stick in the camper. Worked great on our Alps trip

How is the battery life? Been tempted. If it had an optional 12v cable it might be perfect!

Pretty sure the 2017 Anthems are fitted with SwitchR dropper posts which are only made in 30.9mm?

EDIT: just realised you are probably talking about outside diameter… nothing to see here…..

I go through a set of BBB three-lens models about every 2-3 years. Seems decent value to me.

I used http://www.plasticshedbase.co.uk/
Means I can move it whenever I need, can revert base to lawn when needed etc. I haven’t even filled it with gravel yey and its working fine!

Your GPS should be smart enough to carry on from the point you are at, so you can just leave the route loaded and continue following it each day.

I’m MIAS 2 and work for an organisation that employs a lot of freelance cycle guides. It is a ‘valuable’ ticket in that you will get a lot out of it, but there are very few properly full time guides in the UK. There are also a lot of MIAS2/BCL2/CTC qualified ride leaders out there!
If you have the cash and time then go for it!

Should be on one of these surely?

Always liked the look of Boe Rigg with kids.

Good to see that they are giving plenty of folk a chance to get through to the latter rounds though.

10-10:30 start until gone 5:00pm will be a long day!

Anyone else in? Timings out now. 20 second gaps should mean a few interesting overtakes!

TomTom Spark from the outlet?

Lezyne Flow is very much a firm hold. After 4 years it still takes a solid yank to get any bottle out!

Actually more for running with phone in pocket or rucksac, that would have been sensible to mention!

Entered. Anyone have any idea what the timings are (start time etc)? I’ve tried contacting Northern DH but not had a reply…

We have a LittleLife Cross country. I think it’s great but the missus is a ‘smug sling parent’ so didn’t use it. Number two along soon so happy we have it ready. Keep an eye out second hand as a lot don’t get much use!!

Asgard is the default answer, I have a 4 bike (29er) and a few others on here do. They are as secure as you will get for a shed.

After a week of no sleep with a poorly toddler and a looming cold I’ll just be aiming to get around without undue suffering!

Who’s riding this weekend? The forest should be nice and dry!?

These always seem to be a good option if you are ok with 720mm bars… Save 150g or so for £29.

Feel free to drop me an email (my email is in my profile). We have some deals on Italian trips in May with the Giro on!
