Fredbar for sale as seen on Bikepacking.com and other site's and used by the likes of Jay Petervary on the Divide. It's an ingenious solution for giving a more comfortable position when using an aero bar for bikepacking. It attaches to your steerer above your stem which lifts the aero bar position u...

I'm selling a couple of brand new Fred Bars. A great little attachment for clip on TT bar's, which gives a far better position for using them as comfort bar's as it's more rearward and higher. It attaches to your steerer above the stem so you will need a couple of inches steerer above your stem. Dir...

I'm selling a black and red Garmin Edge 500 with the USB cable and a Garmin out front mount. I'm asking £50

Seen light use no signs of wear I'm selling because I bought it before I ended up buying the Terrapin harness that came with one so I don't need two. I'm asking for £20

I've found that it would be about £30 cheaper for me to hire a car one way from Stoke and drop it off in Glasgow than getting a train.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/c6QmDvypSa4oJyhg6 I'm a little sad to say my hardtail has taken a back seat since I bought my Salsa Warbird. It's got a little bit of extra cushion from the Redshiftsports Shockstem and Ergon seatpost and I love it. Most of my mtb rides always had a significant amount of ro...

If your convinced and can prove that they have leaked then no it's not unreasonable in my opinion. The only place I would say they could possibly leak is the cleat area? I have had a pair for years and never had wet feet and I only wear a thin pair of socks all winter in them so would know pretty qu...

I did exactly the same after reading they come up small and went XL instead of L and by the time it arrived and I could try it the large had sold out! Sorry I can't help but I feel your pain! Mine's really flappy and baggy around the waist and sit's high up at the back so your backside would get wet...

If your riding is more akin to mtbing and you're reasonably fit then you're maybe best off with a 1x set-up where you can get away with a larger chainring and still be able to get up the climbs? But if a good proportion of your mixed surface riding includes more road then you're probably best with a...

Yeah, Goat-link only works with Shadow type mech' I recall. Correct, my understanding after 3 hours trying to get a mates R8000 shadow mech to work with the Goatlink10 fitted in addition to the existing hanger. I'd not had the time or notice to read up on them before hand and assumed he had :roll: ...

To be fair there isn't much difference between 1x and 2x now at the low end. My mtb which is just used for bikepacking these days is 2x10, 34-20 (the 20t granny is a Mountain Goat which you have to do a bit of filing on the crank to get it to work) with 11-36 cassette gives me a granny gear inch of ...

Maybe the cassette or freehub loose?

Hi Ian, I'm sorry I'm not able to use the message service if you prefer you can email me @ d.ads.scfc@gmail.com In the meantime my inside leg 85cm or 33.5" in old money. There's 35mm of spacer below the stem with 10mm of that being the Paul cable hanger. The crank is 170mm and I have my saddle ...

Hi Ian, the size large is suited for riders who are 5'9" to 6'0"... I'm 6ft but there is a lot of spacers on the fork and have the seatpost not far of max...I'm at work now but when I'm home this evening I will be able to give you some measurements. I've got your direct message so will rep...

One of the best seat post racks I used before seatpost bags became readily available in the UK was a Bontrager one which was light and very sturdy and once bolted up never budged! They were about £15 at the time but the drawback is that the load hangs out over the back wheel which has more of an aff...

I think Hunt wheels are hard to beat for price,quality and weight!

I've always carried one of those lightweight Schwalbe road inner tubes as my spare and carrying two would still be lighter than
one of those great big 29er tubes!

I get mine off Amazon

Most of the cycling books I read are a bit of a let down if I'm honest apart from Unsurpassed about Tommy Godwin and the Year Book by Dave Barter. One of the best books for adventure I've read is The Last of the Gentleman Adventurers by Edward Beauclerk Maurice. At 16 he was apprenticed for 5 years ...

Cycle of addiction: Weatherproof but not waterproof... ? I don’t usually ride through puddles deeper than the handlebars, but, like yesterday afternoon the edge of storm Brian was wet, very wet- the Lomo case kept the phone totally dry. How would this SP fare in those conditions ? The blurb doesn’t...

Just bought the missus one of these and probably going to get one myself. It's one of the best solutions I've seen but it's not cheap.

I past him and John Lloyd somewhere past the Clearwen dam which is where he spent his first night on the programme. I think he may have been getting some support from farms along the route as I spoke to one guy on a mtb who said he was waiting to meet a friend who was being filmed on a bike challeng...

When I got up to get off the train in Crewe water was still running down my legs and I left a big puddle where id been sitting. As I stood uncontrollably shivering waiting for the connection to Stoke I don't think I'd ever be as wet in my life without actually being submerged in a river. Good times...

The Lurch in Aberystwyth at the start of a planned bikepack to Stoke-on-Trent via the Trans Cambrian and Jack Mytton Way but I only made it as far as Knighton as the conditions got the better of me and I caught the last train home with 10 mins to spare. Next time I think I'll be taking a packraft. I...
