Stand-alone GPS

Which stand-alone GPS device(s), with 1:50,000 UK pre-loaded, should I consider? I don't have, and don't want, a smart phone.

Re: MKS Sylvan touring pedals

Thanks Brucey, pedal service long, long overdue so wanted to get new bearings before I stripped them down. Got away with it - bearings worn but tracks OK! Cleaned & re-greased and sweet. Says something about the quality of these MKS pedals especially considering the price.

Re: What's the best way to find out correct seat pillar size for old bike?

My 20-year old Dawes has a 26.2mm seat post, yes 26.2mm, so a vernier is a must. Kalloy Uno micro-adjust posts come in lots of diameters from SJS.

Optimum handlebar width

Flat bars with 12 deg. back-sweep have sorted the wrist discomfort suffered with straight bars. At 560mm they seem a bit wide. Is there a formula or are there guidelines for optimum width?

Re: USB Bike light chargers ( with multiple outlets )

Thanks y'all. I've bought an Anker dual port wall charger and it works a treat; checking also with Exposure technical. Sorted!

USB Bike light chargers ( with multiple outlets )

I have front & rear lights with integral batteries (Exposure) and would like to be able to charge both at once. OK from home as I can use my laptop but away from home, touring for instance, I'm thinking of a dual output USB wall charger. But I don't know what the safe/optimum output of these chargers should be.The front light is bigger than the rear and wonder if it should have a different charge? There don't seem to be bike light specific chargers out there with multiple outlets which seems strange to me as we all use at least two lights!
