  • I'm in the market for a GPS, but ideally one that will just track where I've been. I don't really need one to navigate by, directions written on scraps of paper, or other people's knowledge will suffice for the time being. So, does such a product exist, and are they substantially cheaper than one that will allow me to navigate (give maps, directions etc)?

    Can't you just look behind you if you forgot where you've been?

  • How disastrous will the forthcoming Dallas remake be?

    On a par with dan akroyd as yogi bear

  • What's everyone's opinion on the new Pelizzoli Leggnda?

    looks like a not quite good enough copy of a cannondale to me...
    More info here

  • love it. The forks don't look as out of place as the cannondale ones.

  • //never buy a ford capri.

    ...the fuck?

    Absolutely awesome cars!

  • What size of axle/cones do I need for a old Malliard flip flop track hub?

    Sorry, I meant Maillard.

  • love it. The forks don't look as out of place as the cannondale ones.

    Yes but it does have fantastic nimble, unlike the Cannondale

                                *The incredible stiff with fantastic nimble make Leggenda perfect for the track races*
    
  • I wish my bikes had fantastic nimble.

  • Who do long valve tubes in 700cc and up to 28

  • When is the best time to end your ebay auction?

  • when people want to buy it most

  • to paraphrase sumo from a while back, "saturday evening after payday"

  • *afternoon. People go out Saturday evening after payday.

  • Much obliged!

  • Who do long valve tubes in 700cc and up to 28

    Schwalbe #15 is 700x18-28, #16 is 700x28-32, #17 is 700x28-45 all available with 60mm valve.

  • Schwalbe #15 is 700x18-28, #16 is 700x28-32, #17 is 700x28-45 all available with 60mm valve.

    Cool as i found specialized ones that I have had issues with.

    Now anyone doing deals for 5 or 10?

  • how do you turn off those roundish Cateye backup lights?

    magnetic toggle turns it on and off. phew!

  • jayloo, is it the magnetic thing on the chord? hold that on the round side?

    yes, thank you. clefty alerted me to that fact couple-a days ago.

  • Does anyone know if its possible to fit a reat rack on the front to make a front carrier? .I dont want to attach panniers to it, just use it for a platform to put some light but bulky items on like sleeping bag and roll mat when I'm touring next month. I've found front specific carriers but was wondering if you could not just use a rear.
    Cheers

  • It depends on the bike some you can bodge on others end up as a really bad angle. How good are your fabrication skills?

    Otherwise

    I don't know if this has been answered yet or not but there is an App called My Tracks. I think every GPS will do some of what you don't want but this will at least record what you've done. And I think it analyzes it all, too.

  • ^I got my dad an old Garmin 205 for this purpose, cost me ~£50 iirc and does the job just fine. There's one for £75 BIN on ebay atm.

  • Garmin Edge 500 does this, for about £150. It has the virtues of being compact, plug-and-play, and easy to sell on to other cyclists if you decide you need something more/different later.

    Forerunner 305 does it for about £100, and is also useful for running.

    I think table entries of Type: Data Logger might be what you are looking for.
    Thank you, thank you, and thank you. I shall investigate!

    Can't you just look behind you if you forgot where you've been?
    If I look behind me when I'm on the sofa, I just see the wall :(

    And thank you both. I think a 2nd hand one might be the way forward.
    Can't use an phone app, my phone is too old and crap. Otherwise this would be the obvious solution.
