Some people are a little sensitive. I went into my local shop, saw a bike I liked the look of and asked the assistant if I could look at the Trek Domane (I prounounced it "Domain"). The guy said "Actually it's pronounced "Doh-Mar-Nay". I didn't storm out of the shop, I ende...

I changed my return date last year by visiting their office in St Malo and they charged me 10 Euros.

Im going next week, I'll get back to you.

The best way to avoid the problem is to avoid steep hills. Works for me

You should have, or be getting shortly, an email from the organisers about this. They have identified several car parks with special day rates (the email gives height restrictions - if any). The route is then signed to the start.

Admittedly not directly comparable...after all it was just a frame.

Good grief!!

Thats a fine offer if you don't mind camping with a load of Sun readers

Thanks again for the knowledgeable answers - you really are a helpful bunch

I'm going to change the cable tomorrow if I get chance (long ride planned, no doubt swearing at my gears most of the way).

I'll let you know how I get on.

Thanks guys - I'll look into all those things.

i'm indexing because I was having trouble moving up from my lowest gears - it just seems worse now.

Its the original factory outer cable, so I guess that rules out the short outer possibility.

The search goes on......

hi, I hope someone can help. Im indexing my gears (Tricross, triple, 9 speed). I put the chain in the middle chainring. Put it in the highest gear, turn in the adjuster, click one gear up and back off the adjuster until it changes up - normal indexing. Its then fine in the first 6 gears but then fou...

No French campsite ever, under any circumstances, supplies toilet roll. Take one roll, per week, per person. You can of course buy them in supermarkets but only in packs of ten. DAHIKT. Not strictly true. I spent 3 weeks in France last year and only needed my own loo roll (wet wipes) on a couple of...

Seconded. The Lake District has everything.

Thanks chaps. In answer to the question - it has an adjustable stem (although i'm not a great fan tbh) - and the std stem will raise the bars sufficiently.

My other half recently bought a rather nice Dawes Nomad and shes not getting on with it. I quite like it so am thinking of taking it on. The thing is the frame is 18 inch (46cm) and my other bikes have 54cm frames. I can set the Dawes up so that seat height, reach etc match my current bikes and the ...

A Tricross isnt a tourer, dont waste your money on it unless you want to tour lightweight. I toured on mine, including Spain to the UK because its my commuter and I cant afford another bike. The supplied rear wheel isnt strong enough to cope with a load on the back (you dont want broken spokes)The ...
