They're all breathable through the four large holes you put person through

If you start overheating in a gilet you just take it off and put it in your back pocket, don't you?

Yes, I was confused. You can remove the hook from the stay on my bike (as per 'Standard Hub' in the PDF) but you can't bolt it back in place of the stay mount. Looks like @sacredhart will need that hook he linked to in his previous post.

Have a look at the PDF here:

Is this what I need to ditch the front mudguard?

I think on mine the hook is separate from the mudguard stay. Can't you just take the bolt out, remove the mudguard stay and then put the bolt back with the existing hook only in place?

Why do you want to remove the guards? I'm not sure how you would wheel the folded bike around without a rear guard or rack. The rear mudguard on my (rackless) Brompton has a castor on it.

Consensus on the Garmin forums seems to be that it's the screen that consumes the most power. You can turn the backlight off completely which, apparently, makes quite a big difference to battery life. Also, the map screen consumes more power than the data screens.

What's better about the mapping? Bigger screen would be good. But as with everything bigger = more power use, higher cost.

Almost everything about the 1000 is better than the 800, except the battery life. Not really an issue for me as I rarely, if ever, ride for more than about four or five hours. On the basis of the few short rides I've done with mine so far I would be lucky to get more than five hours from a full charge I would guess.

I have turned GLONASS off, but the 1000 still locks onto satellites almost instantly in Central London. I usually had to ride a kilometre or so North before my 800 would get a lock at all. The screen is better, the unit is more responsive to inputs and I like not having to plug it in to my laptop to sync rides (you can do it via Bluetooth or wifi).

It was expensive, especially since I had to buy two new k-edge out front mounts, but I got Evans to price match Wiggle and they threw in a £50 voucher which softened the blow somewhat.

Overall, I'm very pleased with it so far.

pm'd again.

I'm interested, but still waiting for a reply to my pm.

Oakley can now do prescription lenses to -6 if you are very short-sighted like me. For my prescription they could only offer quarter jackets or racing jackets. I have ordered a pair of black racing jackets with black iridium polarised lenses. They are going to take a month or so as they have to be made in their US lab.

pm'd you @marceljourde

I guess you could put the back seats flat and leave the boot open. Might work...

Yes, the legs come off. Is a Renault Megane an estate? If not, I doubt it. The top is 180 cm long.

@knyazb has pulled out after agreeing to buy, so back up for sale.

Price drop to £140.

Garmin sold pending collection.

Barfly mounts still available.

...and a white Barfly 1.0, £sold.

Garmin Edge 800, charger, cable, silicone case, one quarter turn mount and rubber bands, one Barfly 2.0 out front mount and a micro SD card with UK OSM maps (free maps for any region can be downloaded here: http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl ). All in very good condition, unit has had a case and screen protector on from new. £150 £140 collected from King's Cross.

I also have two additional Barfly 2.0 out front mounts, £sold.

Wow, nice research!

It's not difficult. Anyone thinking of buying from you would do the same, then take the 20% vat and something for the lack of warranty off the cheapest retailer's price. Or wait until Amazon reduces them to £139 again.

Arrangements like this are happening successfully up and down the country every day, with lots of happy people walking away from them.

Not on here at that price.
