NVWOCI WVS Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 That could work both ways? Sarcasm?Nope. Fo' real. I mean there must be several thousand bikes in the city, so the chances of seeing a specific one are relatively slim. What handlebar/stem was he running on it?

Robwalker Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 # If you dont have a route planned out yet, either get to work with a shit load of maps from each region and plan your route to a tee. Dont want to find yourself plodding along a dual carage way for 17miles in the dark. Maybe invest in a Garmin Edge 605, excellent piece of kit. # Make sure your bikes are apt enough/buy bike that are apt enough. You'll be needing panniers at the very least. # Stick to simple components, forget drum brakes and internal gear hubs, you want something that you can bodge untill you can get to the nearest bikeshop.# Dont think that going lightweight is the issue. I had a heated debate with a customer who wanted to buy a full carbon roadbike to ride over the pirinees? (sp), all well and good if you have a support car, but he was wanting to toe a trailer... Its not worth compromising a slight bit of weight for what could cause you to have to end the trip early. # Start to build up a good relationship with your LBS, you'll find they'll be more than helpful and my even offer you discount on parts/kit needed.# Clothing is a very important aspect to look into, i'd suggest looking at some reviews of kit and deciding which is going to be best for you, start reading cycling weekly, always some good articles in there. # Brush up on your mechanical skills with a bike. The Haynes manual is a life saver so it may be worth investing in a copy of that. I'll try and think of some more things but give me a shout if you've got any more questions. How do you know what evans do a week?Why does that matter? That shop is pristine, bikes are clearly laid out and there is a sense of organization in the shop. No offense, and i know alot of your problems are down to management, but your shops a shithole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stig Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 *Cheers for that Rob, i am aware of componenets and details like that and i am a fully trained bike mechanic so no problems there Should of said sorry. So far it seems the route is looking like a 2 day stint there stopping overnight at a travel inn, then going across to south wales. Does anyone know if you can cross the severn bridge by bike????Cheers Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm aware the Severn bridge is a motorway, so no. Try ferry's as an alternative. Keep us posted i'd like to know how it all goes.
