No worries... sounds like you have it sorted.
Routes eh... You've been getting a lot of kudos and encouragement (plus followers) on Strava for the ride on the 29th. On the surface (because I can only use info from the net) it looks like a route I'd enjoy - it's got a bit of everything. |

Haha... You're right there. I'm usually looking for the middle ground between cost and quality... the sweet spot for want of a better description. |

OMO I need some mudguards for a 700 x 28c tyre. They don't need to be super dooper just not fall apart and not cost of the earth.
I have looked at a load of reviews and they all seem to moan about them all. What are my options?

H'mm not cost the earth? I use SKS long Raceblades but a bit pricey maybe
This time of year, full length mudguards are a must really http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/s...t/rp-prod84326 or these are on offer http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/b.../rp-prod141217 I was going to buy these Blackburn ones the other day, but I stumbled across some Halfords own brand mudguards for £10 instore. For £10, what's not to like. Unless you're going to buy metal mudguards, then the plastic ones will eventually split.

Excellent thanks Mav. I had some of the halfords £10 ones while they seemed decent for the money I couldn't for the life of me get them to fit.
Will try those blackburn ones

They are all a bit of a faff to fit, I found the Raceblade Longs are amongst the easiest.

I went with the SKS ones as I liked the 2 spoke attachment so they should be stronger if more troublesome to fit.
Found them on Wiggle for £16.60!

I know a lot of you guys use Strava but do any of you pay for Veloviewer? I'll be honest I had been enjoying it not knowing that once I'd got 25 rides in it would stop and want me to pay, I suppose its only £20 a year for the PRO+

Blimey, you've found something I didn't know about!
I like it ![]() I wouldn't pay for Pro+, but for £10 the Pro suits me.
