I did a 2-3 week tour there in 2010, ferry to Dublin from Holyhead, up to Newgrange, across to doolin, ferry to Aran Islands, then south down the coast to 3xore the south west peninsulas, finishing in Cork. The west coast is absolutely stunning (though I was v lucky with the weather!). I'd recommend...

Hi there

Need to replace bar tape, but having problems removing these bar end plugs. Have removed screw, but doesn't budge! Do I just need to apply more force or am I missing a trick? Can't find anything about them online! Thanks for any suggestions.

Brilliant, thanks very much for all your advice! I've loved my current Brooks but haven't been as fastidious as I should have been with looking after it and it's now a shadow of its former self. So was just think of the spa saddles are probably v similar.

Thanks for all the advice!

Anyone got any experience of these? Thinking of it as an alternative to new brooks saddle.

Thanks

Anyone got any recommendations for a non-down (she's veggie) 3 season sleeping bag that's packs up relatively small?

Bit of a long shot this, but I've got an old P6R Brompton (frame damaged) and was looking for a local mechanic who can fix/put back together sturmly archer hubs. No luck so far, anyone know of a specialist mechanic/hobbyist out there who may be able to help?

Thanks very much for all your help y'all!

I had a new bottom bracket fitted only a year ago, but after looking at the bike this morning I'm wondering if it might be the chain and chainring (see pic)? I had it on the bike stand and when turni...

Cheers for all the tips!

Anyone cycled from Dublin south along coast to Wicklow town? Any suggestions for routes? Will be doing this route in April.

Thanks

Anyone got any recommendations for winter bike gloves (British winters) around the 20-30 quid mark?

Thanks very much for your advice. I've actually got an old Tortec expedition rack. Seems to fit okay at the hub. I've ordered a couple of 350mm stays from SJS. Would anyone know where to get replacement rack screws to attach the rack to the bike at the eyelets on bottom of rack and the stays? I gues...

Hi there

Can anyone suggest any options for a pannier rack for a thorn voyager childback tandem? It'll need longer stays due to shape. Thorn suggested their own rack but wanted to explore cheaper options.

Thanks for any advice.
