bennett Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 You can buy adapters to fit on to the presta. If it's a narrow rim you'll fcuk it up if you drill it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only wish I was needing another one I was down there quite early and managed to pick up two Altura Merino wool base layers for £10 each down from £45. Avoided the bike sale as I don't need another one but it was tough!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 First couple of days back on the saddle since before Christmas (respiratory reasons stop me cycling in the cold). Christ it's difficult. Especially today because my arse isn't yet reaccustomed to the saddle. Still, won't be long before it's a breeze again and I'm taking the long route home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I managed 53 miles on Sunday with around 3000ft ascent, which was pleasing. My pace of 12.3mph wasn't [emoji38] I'm blaming the windy weather. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiderDee Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I am thinking of picking up a bike now that I live in the middle of nowhere. Can anyone recommend a good hybrid bike please for no more than 300 quid ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainky road,or do you want to use it for some off road too, like towpaths and forest tracks etc ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent service and a ridiculously decent spec for comparatively little outlay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers As @jupe1407 says , Decathlon is worth a look as you seem to get a lot of value for money there I'd suggest you go for a hardtail which has front suspension and offers a wee bit more comfort on some of the bumpier tracks Heres a few maybe worth considering http://www.wiggle.co.uk/verenti-mesh-alivio-2016/ http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobile/fuji-nevada-1-7-ltd-29-hardtail-bike-2016/rp-prod159991 http://www.tredz.co.uk/hybrid-bikes http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Giant-ATX-2-27-5-Mountain-Bike-2017-Hardtail-MTB_97577.htm I know a few are a wee bit above your budget but they're well worth it Personally, I'd go for either the Fuji from Chain Reaction or the Giant from Tredz Just make sure you order the right frame size for your height There are lots online guides to help you with this on each of these sites Good luck Edited April 7, 2017 by Unleash The Nade 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
