Just in case of any interest, the Escape Collective Members' Only podcast feed is available to non-members if listened to via the Castbox app. No idea why that is the case, but I only discovered this recently when looking for an alternative way to listen while my wife was using our Spotify account. Quite enjoyed the recent 'Skyfall' episode

£50 each from the above auction. Both need new rear brake cables but in great nick otherwise. Anyone else pick up a bargain?
-
Garmin Venu Sq is what I've got which does all of the above, plus a bit more if you wanted it to

Big auction of kids bikes at NCM. Not sure if Bike Club is still trading or this is just them shifting old stock. Either way there may be some bargains to be had: https://bidonline.ncmauctions.co.uk/auctions/9087/ncm-au11098
(nothing to do with me FYI - came to my attention via the IanVisits newsletter)

Nigel at Sidcup Cycles sorted mine a few months back

I ride Cinturatos tubeless in a 26mm variety, and a 35mm variety, on different bikes. One on Hunt rims, the other on Hope. They're pretty straight forward to set up tubeless, but on the odd occasions I've needed to run with tubes they are a bit tighter to get onto the rim and will not always seat into the rim particularly well giving them a "lumpy" ride. Not a dealbreaker for me as I rarely need to stick a tube in, but probably wouldn't opt for that as default. Otherwise I find their grip and durability/puncture protection excellent, albeit they are not as svelte and lively as some of the more racey tyres.
As an alternative I have just started riding a set of Hutchinson Challengers (the older tubed model) in 30mm and they seem great for the c.200k I've ridden so far. £30 on Amazon at the moment which is pretty good for a modern tyre: https://amzn.eu/d/cxfxsaP

If this were a size smaller I'd bite your hand off...

Surprised Pidders wasn't included in the Ineos squad tbh

Not brilliant in slop, but otherwise a good all-rounder in my experience
