I like kit from Norrona, especially the jackets. But it’s mega money.

I saw The Jason Hart Band at a wedding in Nottingham & they were outstanding.

Mine came over the weekend. Very happy. Will also post pics soon.

The QR end caps should just pull off the hub. Mine took a fair bit of force the first time they came off.

Classic FM have done a series of podcasts, the A to Z of classical music, presented by Alex James. It’s available on iTunes & worth a listen to. There are hours of info, great if you do a lot of driving like me!

I managed to order one on Monday night. I posted a PSA about their availability but they all went fairly quickly.

Brilliant video!!

Found it: http://www.alpkit.com/bikepacking/diy-saddlebag

I don’t think they make a seat pack but I have seen a guide on how to make one from an Alpkit drybag. Hang on a bit, I’ll see if I can find it.

I think it works…

I have a 2012 2lt diesel saloon as a company car. There is loads of room inside and the boot is enormous. It’s pretty economical but a bit boring to drive, but I am ok with that !

Terrible news. My feelings are with those who knew him. RIP.

Here is a link to a u-tube video that shows how to bleed Hayes Strokers:

Thanks for your help, much appreciated. Off we go then!!

I have experienced the same. I ended up cancelling my order over the phone & going elsewhere.

I have stayed in the Mark Hopkins. It is a lovely traditional hotel within walking distance of the centre. Cracking place.

Check out Michael Jordans Steak Restaurant. It is in Grand Central Station, overlooking the main lobby. The steak is brill, the creamed spinach lush and the surroundings even better.

Check out the piano concerto No 2 in F major composed by Dmitri Shostakovich. One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written.

Bellendslydale must me served within the bedroom.

Singletons 12 is down from £30 to £20 at Sainsburys so that’s the same as a 3 for 2 deal. It’s lovely!

I sell drugs. Legal ones.

Thank you for all the help, I really appreciate it!

We are staying at the Mark Hopkins Hotel so can’t wait to check out the bar.

I can’t believe there is a Macdonalds up there.

Thank you for your help!

Thanks TJ.
I have not really considered a budget, looking for value for money I suppose. I would rather buy her a good quality rack & pannier that lasts (and potentially nick for my self from time to time!).

I have this but I don’t think it is early enough. Located in Basford, Nottingham (near City Hospital). It’s gathering dust in the garage.

I have a NEX-5 with the zoom & pancake lens. I am really happy with the image quality, it takes great pics and video. I bought in in June last year from Play.

However, if I was looking at the Market again I would go for an alternative because I really miss a proper view finder, especially in sunlight.

I wish. Just missed out on tickets. Would love to see them.
