If you mean these, note that they're 700b not 700c (ask me how I know it matters).

Excellent spot! Didn’t notice that

Yeah, I’ve helped customers before who couldn’t fit tyres and after much cursing, noticed the B part

We did that a few pages ago
Cheap giro lids xt cranks and other tyres though

Very cheap but not nasty women's insulated jackets over at Sportsshoes.com. They're not the lightest or the warmest, but they're only a tenner. I bought a couple for my girlfriend (a small and a medium) and she's decided to keep both.

I wouldn't bother. I had one of their waterproofs at discount . It was rubbish!

Our Aldi have a load of Tru-Tension cleaner, lube, brushes, seat bags and the like for £4.99 a pop. Seems about half price.

Crossposting from the tent recommendation thread, Terra Nova have a lot off their range in their outlet store as they look to be switching things up: https://www.terra-nova.co.uk/categories ... ova-tents/

Way OT but this would be tempting if it was a bit further north

The Reliant Robin parked outside on Google street view is the icing on the cake.

Why? It's a tin shed you'll likely not be able to do much with.

Oh I want that so much. No idea what purpose it would serve, but I love tin buildings, and that area of Wales means a lot to me...can't imagine it being mortgageable..?

Closer to home

I reckon you could get it insulated, and then put in a massive log burner, open plan kitchen/bedroom for cheeky get aways with Mrs Voodoo

Edit - just reread that and that’s not an offer for anyone

Have a quick Google and you can find the failed planning application. Too close to the Teifi for habitation, no ability to have off street parking, etc. Sadly the option left seems ro be letting it rot.

Exped dry bags and a few other bits that might be of interest.
