    Oh right, well that doesn't bother me either but I can see what he means, but in practice I haven't noticed that problem myself

    Drop bar add ons for flats....what do you think of these ?

    SRAM flat bar shifters on drop bars, it seems to work

    I had one of those SARDAR bikes in a previous life, I think mine had Cantis but I might be wrong, I might have tried these if I had known they existed. I have fitted the setup in the photos to my Dawes Super Galaxy and it all works well, the shifters were cheap enough so I will see how I get on...

    SRAM flat bar shifters on drop bars, it seems to work

I use a bar end mirror so bar end shifters although they work great are not ideal for me, now in my world illogical is things like riding in the winter without mudguards so you get a great long messy streak up your back, or paying a...

    Fake Chinese bike parts

    I have recently bought some fake (I assume) flat bar shifters which worked perfectly, but when I transferred them to some other bars, both clamps snapped as there was no steel band inside like on the originals and it was made of brittle alloy which was not up to the job, they were suspiciously...

    SRAM flat bar shifters on drop bars, it seems to work

The other option would have been bar end shifters but WHERE WOULD I PUT MY MIRROR ????? so removed the steel band from the clamp and they...

    Gravel bike packing, its all done wrong IMO

    I have just spotted that the bike in the ads has rear suspension in which case I can see that a traditional carrier would be tricky to fit as the rear triangle would move so in that case the solution offered by this company makes sense

    Gravel bike packing, its all done wrong IMO

    So now there is an expensive and inferior way to attach a rear rack to a bike with no mounts....brilliant, thats progress :) thanks for the link, it made me smile

    Mudguards....do you use them ?

    I just use a low cost LOOK post, not bad for the price but often wondered how good a post like that is, I have recently taken to an old style sprung saddle off road (£10.95) and its really rather good, very un-cool though
