Hi folks

I wonder if anyone here can recommend a quiet route from Calais to Gravelines? - it should suit a large group of cyclists of mixed abilities in search of lunch! Restaurant recommendations are welcome too.

Merci bien! Andy

Thanks again johnb

I tried renaming the file with an img extension but that didn't work either.....the last contibution quoting garmin support seems rather disappointing.

very strange........... Andy

Thanks for replying johnb...

I used the dedicated uploader....and it wasn't a map...basically an excel file containing over 400 uk bike shops.

What's maddening is that I can see the file is present on the unit from my pc but the 800 itself cant read it.

Hi Folks, I wonder if anyone here can help? I posted the following in the Garmin Cyclin/800 forum and hace had no responses yet. I wonder if anybody can help? I have successfully (?) loaded a POI file to my 800 (running 2.4)..I can see the file from my desktop sitting in the Garmin/POI directory wit...

Hi Pete, i was a long term subscriber too but it couldn't continue as it was.....racing reports were weeks late, stacks of poor grainy photos, the editor indulged some contributors I think. But lots of good touring reports (Ken Craven's Mojacar rides) and others besides, oh yes, those MZ and Honda A...

Thanks for replying guys There is no frozen link as I checked for that but thanks for suggesting it. There was a little slipping before I fitted the new components but is seems slightly worse now. It's worse under load. Perhaps I should have mentiond that it's a Dualdrive APB with SRAM 3 speed hub -...

Hi Folks, I hope someone can help... I have just fitted a new chain and 8 spd cassette to my Moulton APB but still feel something slipping at the back occasionally. The chain is a Sram PC48 with a Shimano casette...surely this can't be a case of incompatibility can it? Could it be cauasd by the jock...

Cycling World is, sadly, very amateur. In honesty it would be best if someone could take it over and make it more professional as happened to Motorcycle Sport some years ago. Photos are poor and repetitive - half pages are given over to insignificant accessories. It's potential, now that cycling is ...

hi pete75, i have an m6 brommie as part of my humble fleet and enjoy riding it on suitable journeys. it's fold is quick and very compact...peerless in this respect i reckon. the downside for me is it's antiquated gearing mechanism - both 3 speec hub and crude derailleur. If this is likely to trouble...

many thanks Rogerzilla

I'll get some of that rim tape

best regards from Mothra!

Hi Folks, I'm trying to find a narrower inner tube replacement than is normally available through my LBS. The original equipment tube is much narrower than the 16 x 1 3/4 usually available (eg Schwalbe's AV3) and as a result far easier to fit.... in fact I can even replace the trye by hand provided ...

Hi Third Crank....

not at all....it was kind of you to reply....
