I noticed that you have or have tried several types of bars resembeling the jones bars reohn2. Would you say the geoff bars are the best for comfort?. I love mine they give a good upright riding position and several other good hand positions. I also listened to slowsters suggestion on the 10/15 degr...

The army tent is cheap but maybe a bit heavy.
What happened with the ionesphere sweep? That would do the job. Not outer first but will stand up to the northern hills.

Thanks for the info chat noir. Im looking forward to my tour shall see how it goes . May even continue up the coast and to bodmin moor. Ive highlighted a few routes on my map. The chimney as you say gets hard on the bend but not too long. I found the road out of rosedale to the east harder but didnt...

I like the brake but unfortunatly cant collect.
If its possible to post that would be nice.

Thanks for the reply mick, i hoped for scenic and expected it to be hard going may well head inland from st ives shall review enroute. I gathered it must be a ferry to rock from padstow. Hoping for good weather. Debating hammock or tent at moment really not sure yet. Shall travel fairly light though...

You'll need to travel light to do the north coast and get up Millook Hill. Two chevrons, but it should have three! :D Screen Shot 2019-06-05 at 13.34.35.png Im also planing to do the north coast of cornwall starting this weekend. LE ,st just,st ives, newquay to padstow. I guess there are plenty of ...

I use old innertubes cut into 1" wide strips they work fine.

Had a great ride thanks reohn2. Been going to do it for a While and wanted to test the bars and new mondial tryes to see how they performed both on and off road, they roll pretty good on the road and did just fine offroad. Got a tour coming up so was good to test the bike out.

Thanks for the link johnw. The new policy of 10 minutes makes a lot of sense. Shall have to see how it works out.

I have given my PX geoff bars a good testing this weekend. I fitted butterfly bar foam grips which are not as chunky as the jones grips but worked fine and felt comfortable enough to me. At £ 2.50 a pair they are fine and cheap to replace. They got soaked on saturday night but didnt move on the bars...

I often take my bike on trans pennine trains and up to the last 3 times have never had problems. Recently the conducter has asked if i have a reservation. I said no and they told me i need to reserve the bike space in future. On saturday i bought a ticket from york to malton on the Scarborough train...

I initially (after watching jeff jones videos) set my shifters and lever as suggested just shy of the weld. But i can not see my gear indicator. Which isnt too big a deal . After i moved them back an inch to see the gear indicator i then could hold the bars on the weld giving me a nice position to h...

I used standard size trips at the weekend and they where ok but have put on foam grips cut to lenght but not been properly tested yet. Havent tested them out on a tough climb yet. Shall hopefully do that at the weekend.

I ordered a pair of geoff bars from px, was interested to see how they handle. Ive been using some northroad / marybar type bars for the past year which are the same angle as the geoff bars and the position just felt right for me. Bars arrived on friday, so had a ride out on saturday to set them up ...

Yes 6% on the ride .but not sure how fast i was going.
