That will depend on the weather. Cold nights may bring frost in the morning so yes take care. Another hazard at this time of year are fallen leaves, especially on a damp surface. Personally I would ride without hesitation unless it is snowing. 8) Just a bit of news - Windermere ferry sailings have b...

Not much help to the OP now but :- To help in detecting punctures I always line something on the tyre with the tube valve/rim hole. Usually the middle of the Logo on the the tyre wall. That way, when finding the puncture in the tube, you know where on the tyre to look for the cause. Just remember w...

As things stand I will be arriving late afternoon on Friday. Bike will be in the boot.
Looking forward to catching up with you all.
Does anyone know if it will be all right leaving the car in the carpark all day Saturday ?

Two layers of tape. Save some of the old tape you take off and re-use under parts of the new tape.
I just lay some lengthways along the tops of the bars under the new tape.

What size cranks were you thinking of using? You have 170 so are you going to 160 ? Will 10mm make all that difference to allow the seat pack to fit? Too high a seat may cause hip problems later. I went from 170mm to 165mm and the bike seemed harder to drive. My logic being that I would spin more. B...

Well done Vantage - braver man than me.
I wussed out of camping that weekend with the forecast of freezing temperatures.
A warm good nights sleep makes all the difference.

P.S. Is that a water carrier in the tent awning? Do you really need that when you have two bidons on the bike.

Not sure if it's universal but some solicitors do free wills. Maybe it's only at certain times during the year ? We went through the "normal" Will system and glad we did. He went into details about if one of our children got divorced or died and the consequences it could have. Any money go...

Flown many times with Easyjet from Liverpool. I pack helmet, shoes, tools and a few other bits and pieces. Not had a problem yet. Easyjet just checked the weight and then I take the box to separate X-ray machine operated by airport personnel. The same coming back, Easyjet check weight and again take...

Have you thought about "overshoes" ?
I use them when the weather turns cold and they certainly make a difference. You can get some that are just windproof or others that are waterproof.

As others have said decide on what you want from the unit. A couple of reviews here may help:- https://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/accessories/gadgets/gps-devices/ https://www.cyclingweekly.com/group-tests/cycling-gps-units-buyers-guide-181254 Then again it is possible that a mobile phone will d...

What's dodgy about the cam on a calliper. ? The fact that you may forget that you've released it and your brake(s) won't work . Having a QR on the brake lever is better, because if you forget to reset it, your brakes will still work. Never had that problem. Yes levers come back further but always h...

Does it do the heart monitor too?

Yes - Heart monitor and cadence if you want.
