4st (56lb) lost since I retired last June. Still having another 2st (28lb) to go just to not be classed as overweight should tell you how large I'd become although at 6ft4 it didnt show quite as much as it would on a Hobbit. Strava times have tumbled on all my local climbs even on the pedal MTB...
I use a similar pack to R120 only the BA3 E protect version. Got it for £125 off Amazon. It holds enough of gear to be used as a full day pack or to supplement a bar roll and seat pack when bike packing. As well as the bags main storage compartments and dividers, of which there are many, the...
Weldtite Tubeless Tyre Repair Kit | Merlin Cycles
Unless its an extremely large whole or a sidewall rip then the sealant stops all the air coming out so you can usually fix it with some pressure left in the tyre without taking the wheel off the bike and so it takes less air to get it back up to...
I use one of these. The stem mount has a quick release to take the case off quickly. I have the mount sitting down on the stem for longer rides with a lot of navigation and it doesn't move or vibrate at all. I've used it some pretty horrid weather with no issues. I also put the phone in the...
Do Snowdon early morning and be down the Rangers by 10am then head off for an afternoon/early evening ride elsewhere after lunch.
I'd also seriously consider multiple batteries to get the most out of each days riding on a trip like this.
Shimano don't sell bikes , they sell bike parts. The cells the 8010 pack are based on could easily be replaced by newer high density ones in a similar fashion as to how Spesh have done it with this years Levo. I would be pretty surprised if Shimano dropped that battery type completely in the...
165mm too long? Shimano don't make 160mm but Miranda do, had a quick look but can't find any in stock :(
I've got 165mm coming on my Commencal, what size would you be taking off Mr. Law?
Got 900's on my Norco and 800's on the other 2 bikes. They all put me in a similar position on very different bikes. Thought I'd be cutting the 900's down as soon as I got them but glad I tried them on the bike first as I love them that wide as it's a shorter old school freeride bike. The only...
Correct bar width depends on a number of things with the biggest being personal preference. If you like the front/rear weight distribution of your bike but want to go wider you'll need a slightly shorter stem to compensate otherwise wider bars will pull your weight forward. 20mm width won't make...
Had a quick look at them last month and like what I saw until I found out they were another manufacturer only going for 3 sizes with normal reach measurements. The Norco might be a great bike but if they don't make one in a size that fits then there's no point waiting for them to bring them in.
