I’ve got a beater 26” wheel knocking around, collect from Oxford this week or London in a week or so. Will check specs in the morning. £free

Ended up cycling from dieppe to ouistreham, followed the veloroute de lin for the first part then after that a mix of lanes and coast. Pastries and steak frites were eaten, much sea swimming was done and there were some nice campsites. Had too much stuff and it was hot hot hot so some of the steeper stuff was walked. All in all I quite like touring fixed, have done it before and will do it again

Lots of great suggestions, thank you!

Anyone got any route advice for dieppe down towards Brittany. Heading out this week for 10 days or so, no real plan but loosely thinking ferry to dieppe, ride down to St Malo, ferry back. Will be riding fixed and camping

Loads of places for water if you look around. Parks, churches, cemeteries, community halls, allotments - all often have taps

Yes please! £?

Managed to sort an old steel rockhopper. Now after some 1” threaded rigid forks to go with it (26” obvs). Anyone got any hanging around? Ta

Lots of similar ti pots on ali express if you can wait for delivery

Thanks but after frame and forks only

I’m after an old mtb frame size 18-20” or whatever the equivalent is. Kona explosif, rockhopper, stunt jumper, orange p7 or similar. London preferred. Thanks!

Municipal campsites are the way to go

Between Durness and Thurso - go to talmine. Great campsite, very basic and right by the beach.

Generally pretty easy to get bikes on without reservation. Train will be full of tourist shoppers going to Bicester village

When we cycled the Hebrides a few years ago we used the bike bus to get from Ullapool to Inverness-seems to have gone up a lot in price though, I remember it being about £20 each! https://www.tickettoridehighlands.co.uk/durness-bike-bus.php

If you are planning on cycling through anywhere that’s a bit risky, this post is worth a read...

Hope you do it though, would be an amazing experience!

I often take a small telescopic rod when on cycling trips. Came with a reel, 15lb line I think, about 7’ long. I have a few feather sets, an assortment of spinners and a few lures. Total cost about £25. Off rocks into deepish water is easiest and will result in the fewest snags and a good chance of mackerel and pollock.

I have a wide open and run 28mm Vittoria randonneurs on open pros with guards. Cycled to lots of bothies last summer on some pretty rough tracks and it was not ideal but fine. Eurovelo routes can go from tarmac to gravel to mud but are generally traffic free so nice and quiet. The Danube cycle route is lovely

Velo orange campeur
Cross check
Soma double cross

None that light but otherwise ticks the boxes

No, in London. And haven't been to Bristol for years...

No fire but the hut is well insulated so was surprisingly warm and comfy!

Just had a few days walking in the Cairngorms, tried to head to faindouran but navigation errors in a whiteout resulted in an unplanned stay at the fords of Avon refuge. It's very snowy up there at the moment! Met a few cyclists but most were struggling due to the conditions

Can also vouch for the berghaus. I have it packed into a small dry bag and it fits on front rack under bar bag

these have now gone to http://www.communitycycleworks.co.uk

thank you
