You just need a photo ID and debit/credit card. They take a penny off the card and off you go. As Faz said its really a 30min Job but if you ask nicely you should be allowed out for longer if its a nice day.

Depending on what bike you are looking at they may be able to arrange a proper demo on a Hoy or Pinnacle road bike.

HTH

Correct the CR1 is Scotts ”comfort” Road bike

Its the same with all the fancier kit, bigger money for seemingly less product.

Gooutdoors seemed to do a good range when I last looked.

Allthough that GSI kit looks good, but we seem to pay more in £ than the amerians do in $.

Ive been looking for a similar product.

Decathlon do a clone of the Terra weekend for less money.

Im not sure how stable/effective the heat exchanger is though.

Ive been tempted by one of the MSR stainless stowaway pans they do weigh more though.

Jon

Yet he still manages to ride it

Had just ordered 2 and logged on here to post, just beaten to it :D

Last time this came up someone said Gee Atherton was on around £100K a Year, dont know what source that was from though.

Jon

IIRC, the new version of Deore is going to be the same / very similar calliper to the SLX / XT – for example, it will take Ice Tech pads?

Correct

Spesh saddles allow you to return them within 30days if not comfy. Same with Bontrager.

Oldgit- Well they are no longer selling this fork so fingers crossed it’ll get replaced with a Columbus one (next one they sell)

Spyke- Nope its a Ness

Jon

Oldgit- Yup there is, its the slightly darker section on the bottom.

Matt- Worryingly I was popping the front wheel over pots holes, dips in the road etc on the way to work today. (was at work when I noticed it)

Shermer- I have no idea, Ive had headset play for around 2 weeks and couldnt work out the cause.

Thanks Matt,Now very tempted.

Jon

This post seems like perfect timing, I was just looking at the Delta tents.

How do you find it Matt?

Do you perhaps have any pictures of the inside once set up?

Jon

Ive never seen that it says you cannot.

It does say that Motorcyclists can filter when safe to do so.

Be very careful at the start if you’re riding a flash bike – a poor chap was jumped by a group of hoodies just ahead of me – knocked him off – cycled away on his bike – hoodies looked nasty so noone stopped which was rubbish.

Sounds nasty but without sounding to paranoid is this not a risk whenever you ride a nice bike at night?

The thing the seller did wrong was mix up the items.

The way I see it you ended up with a full refund and a item (if its any use to you I dont know)

Seeing as the seller contacted both the other buyer and ebay theres not much more he could have done.

Id probably say positive or if its a really hard to get item Neutral.

Jon

Im based in Brighton, when there’s a strong tail wind its great, feels electric assisted like you said.

How longs your commute? 20 Mins a fair chunk of time to knock off.

Jon

Sounds good Look forward to hearing form you.

Jon

Maddy,

Very intrested I couldnt see an email for you, mines in my profile if thats easier.

Jon

And ohnohesback-I need a new bag anyways

The Overboard looks very ortlieb-esk.

If the alpkit is better for cycling I think ill wait for that one.

Jon

Im not sure about all the various camera angles.

Bikes looking good though

Im happy with my Thompson, Have one in a Surly 1X1, a Soul and my SS road bike. All steel and all 27.2

Jon

There are copies of Colnagos out there.

Which set are they? the only wheels built by evans themselves would be done in store as a custom build.

Bedmaker-Thats the one thanks

Epicyclo- I will have a look at them as well, thanks

Loose light mount or similar? took me an embarrassingly long time to find

Friend that i ride with is running 2 cogs on his converted freehub-body, works very well.

They seem to be out of stock on CRC and hotlines, I didnt know if there were any left at any other retailers.

My commuter bikes a Pearson Hanzo, get on very well with it. Well recommended

The black were out of stock everywhere in the UK that I could find, and nope got lucky without charges

Jon

My ring turned up yesterday, very impressed so far, thanks Taz

Thanks for the advice, gone for a set of A23’s, they worked out at £44 each from USA

Mine require regular stripping and cleaning to keep them from creaking,looking into a praxis conversion kit to go back to HT2

I find i cannot edit any listings on ebay using chrome, i have to use internet explorer or firefox
