    The Gap - Brecon Beacons

    Yep no problem , bear with , it's easier to do from my laptop. Our preferred start is from Talybont on Usk. Up the steep ramp in The White Heart car park and pick up the tramway bridleway , which is where we started yesterday . Then the last 4 or 5 km are not too painful as they can be done on...

    Sorry got my sizing ups and downs the wrong way around in previous post - now corrected ! Size down if 18 version Sand / orange is a 19 im pretty sure , so probably a medium would be good Might be worth a quick email to Dirtlej They've always got back to me promptly £245 is good for a Core ?

    I'd probably go medium if the medium Endura fitted you ok I tried the large Endura and it fitted my upper body ok but was baggier than my large Dirtsuit. Endura legs were stupid long as well though Dirtlej is definitely a slimmer fit . Definitely size down though if you find an 18 bargin . So...

I have a large and it fits me well 14 st , 5ft 9 , 45 chest ...

    5hr round trip for me as well Awesome service Chris gave me his mobile number for an issue that turned out to be nothing. Also sorted a 18 Levo motor issue that I didn't buy from them . No quibbles, changed motor while I went for a brew. Went to them , due to their reputation , to buy my 19...

    SRAM Brake Scream !

    I put some sintered pads on my Levo by mistake , howled like a banshee Put organic ones straight back on , quiet as a church mouse apart from very occasional squeal when brakes first applied in foul conditions. Organics wear quicker but the peace is worth it

Loads of pretty colours , lenses can...
