Hi, haven't posted for a while (had knee replacement surgery last year and work stopped me posting before that!) and put this up for sale previously, but no interest. Bought this brand new for my son who rode it round the block and never got on it again (ungrateful so and so). Been in storage...

Anyone toured on an eBike in the winter. Still thinking of doing a c300 mile tour before the end of the year (Lancs to Scotland) and thinking of doing it on the hybid eBike but I have never toured it in the winter. When I ride it I usually get 70+ miles per charge and expect I will probably...

Prologue With the roofer having to put back work on my chimney until October, and the sun returning to the skies after a prolonged absence, the opportunity for a short tour once again proved attractive. This time though, the Elephant Bike would remain in its enclosure while ‘Bogtrotter’, my...

I'm after a set of pedals with flats on one side and clipless SPD on the other. It's for a 90s mtb skip find I'm doing up as a tourer, so I'm trying to do the whole build eco style by buying as few new parts as possible

Day 1 (12th July) It's been trickier to get away recently, Pandemic notwithstanding. The house needs a little building repair work done and the first slot the roofer had was around the end of June/ beginning of July. That clipped my wings somewhat and meant I daren't arrange any time away. A...

It was in ... Then it was Gone ... AND NOW IT’S BACK AGAIN ...:smile: Raleigh Record Ace Framed Touring bicycle. Raleigh Record Ace 24” frame. Wheels .. Decathlon 32 spoke with 28mm puncture resist road tyres ..new .. the tyres that is, the wheels have done <500 miles. Seat .. alloy /...

Does anyone know if Shimano have stopped making these ,or is it a supply issue? . It is the single sided type .

I know I've banged on about this before, but there has been a development. There are not many route planners that will work offline, and those that do often don't allow the export of a route to use on a gps device - just on your phone. Osmand is one that does both and with its other...

So - my current bike is a Spez Diverge 2019 with factory stock Espoir Sport tyres (kinda road-y tyres). Very happy with them, they go fairly quick on roads and light gravel. However, anything more than that & it becomes a little hard-going. So I'm toying with the idea of buying spare tyres but...

I’m in the market for a steel framed touring bike under £1k. My current tourer is a mixture of Jamis Aurora frame and SPA components. The Aurora does not seem to be available in the UK anymore. I paid £700 for the Aurora from Evans and its a price area i’m comfortable with but will go to £1k if...

***SOLD*** This is the first of two bikes I'm putting up for sale. I had grand plans for both so it’s with mixed emotions I'm letting these go. I’ve finally had to face up to the fact that the luxury of time I was striving for just isn’t happening. This one you see here is the MultiStreet 4...

I enjoy reading cycle travel adventures and have a reasonable collection but wondered if anyone can recommend any I have missed. Probably loads. I have the bike called Reggie ones, one Josie Dew, Full English, Tim Moore and a couple of practical how to ones. No interest in professional racing...

Anyone else here had it? My dad and I finished our Way of the Roses last Thursday and as of the Friday, I've been feeling low. I'd planned on doing a write up of the ups and downs and calamity of our tour and I can't find the will to do it. I almost wish I hadn't returned home and just carried...

Hi All, Anyone know where I can get a front & rear stand combo like the set pictured pls ? Any help much appreciated many thanks 🙏

Following on from my thread - Using Premier Inn as a base. We have decided to go for this as a means to go touring. Does anyone have any advice on where to get information about the area we are visiting? I have access to most O/S Landranger maps. At the moment we intend to visit Beverley...

Hi at the moment I have a garmin edge 200 but I am thinking of upgrading to a garmin edge touring.

Whereas I've done loads of touring on my single bike, and can fit everything I need into panniers, my wife and I have now acquired an Orbit Velocity Tandem and plan to do some multi-day or week long tours on it. We are novice tandemeers, and I was wondering about the wisdom of adding more...

A recent health scare, has prompted me to think about moving to long trousers rather than shorts for touring. I tend to wear Ronhill tracksters in the winter (trendy !) but would love to find some comfortable trousers for summer cycling. Lightweight and fairly breathable would be nice, as would...

As part of the refurb of our touring bikes, now complete, I am also looking at sorting a revised, more efficient toolkit. We normally tour for 3 months at a time, but only within Europe, where bike shops do exist. Previously I have used a multitool, with a few extra bits and pieces, but as...

With the live 2020 event inevitably cancelled, the CTF has gone online ... and what's more is it's free! (Charitable donations would be most welcome though). Most 'live' sessions in the form of webinars are this weekend - 25th/26th April, though some are pre-recorded and could therefore be...

Looking for some tent recommendations please. What’s ideal for 3-4 day touring? It would be just me inside it so would I need just a 1 person tent or 2 persons for a little extra space?

I have seen quite a few blogs with drone pics/videos. As a complete novice can anyone recommend a cheap light high quality easy to use drone. Just wanted to get some shots of me en route. Small and light are key and I don't want to spend a lot on something that may be a waste of time Jay

I have suddenly and unexpectedly found myself with £500 to spend on bike related stuff. I'm thinking about buying a Triban RC500 flat bar bike, which seems well rated and fits my budget. It's the same frame as my current drop bar RC520 - bought with the intention of keeping it fairly basic, but...

I have posted this on another forum but I'm thinking of upgrading my touring bike from my Dawes Galaxy but unsure what to go for, I'm thinking of going for one with disc brakes rather than rim brakes but I love the steel frame of the Galaxy any recommendations? TIA
