I cycle naked,everyone waves.

Hi folks I need to get a new 9 speed freehub,does freehub body mean its just an empty body and you put the bearings in or are they just bolt on and ready to go when you buy them? no problem if I have to put my own in just wanted to know to buy bearings aswell,and where to you all get your bearings f...

I overtook some roadies so fast yesterday that I made time go backwards like superman,which was nice.

You a member of a library? if so you can use your card and sign into rb digital and read 10 cycling mags online(3 mountain the rest more road),not ideal as I like to read a paper mag but I haven't really got the cash to spare for them anymore and the chance of ten cycling mags is to got to not use.

Have a look on wheelie Cyprus website,went on a mttb holiday with them years ago but looking at their website I think they rent road bikes now aswell and i'm sure they do a bike drop of service too,not sure but doesn't hurt to ask if it suits you.

I'm guessing the canal paths are in better nick than round where I live where they have huge wheel swallowing holes,sounds like you know the route though.

I'm the op and yeah I was asking with camping in mind,i have cycled across france a few times and stayed in some municipal sites when they had closed and they were pretty bleak and have cycled across northern spain where campsites were few and the were posts above mine kind of hit the nail on the he...

Random post I know but just humour me:),say for instance you were having a bit of a hard time and just needing to go cycling to get away but didn't have a lot of money (but enough for ferry to france and careful living for a bit after).Where would you head?

Thanks for your posts folks,great points and a great video,thank you.

Hello everyone,this is a bit of a whiney thread so just humour me ok(or telling me to get a grip is fine too).Ok got ferry booked to northern spain next week and feel completely nervous and uninspired,i have done three trips in france,about two months all in between the three so its not my first tou...

Hi just wondering if there is a website that will show all the campsites along the northern spanish coast ,much like the one that shows all the municipal sites in france? I keep getting sites that just advertise their own sites and not a general overview of all the sites in this area,thanks.

What a strange man.

Thanks geo I shall email them to sort it out.

Can i ask you guys how you go about getting them serviced ,I have a old Schmidt with many miles on it that could do with the bearings replaced,i looked into it before and was told I would have to find the german address and contact them,is this still the case or is there a U.K place to service it,th...

when I know my touring is going to be a bit rough I put on the pair of marathon mondail I have,lets face it if your touring then the bike is heavy anyway,and they are 17.99 on chain reaction now instead of 30 odd quid(not quite sure if they are the thinner version of the ones I have tho)
