Train tickets, Cree lights, chamois butt'r, tool roll, tools and spares purchased. Service at LBS plus new chain, sprocket and brake pads means DD is starting to add up. Therefore, no pannier/saddle bag. Food, drink and extra layers going in a backpack. Hope it doesn't hurt too much.

BTW, mint Poppets are where it's at.

See you all shortly!

Thanks. :) I've got good running gear, which is pretty much interchangeable with cycling gear, and some good padded cargo shorts.

Also used DD as an excuse to buy a Howies merino base layer, which I've wanted for a while: http://www.howies.co.uk/mens/clothing/mens-merino-clothing/nbl-classic-licorice.html

Just investigating the murky world of chamois cream...

Cheers Branwen.

Guess I knew that already. Will add to the list of kit I need to buy. :(

How essential are gloves/mitts on a ride of this length? Or just this ride, specifically?

I'm in. 1st DD and 1st century. The missus has finally bought a bike using DD as motivation, so need to make sure she doesn't show me up.

@TricityBendix See you at the start, and fully expect to see you coming in the other direction before I've finished.

I can get them for you. Should take around a week from point of deposit. Call by the shop if you'd like to go ahead... (tokyo fixed)

Thanks jammy. I tried Brixton Bikes and a few other Surly stockists as per edscoble's suggestion and was told there's only one Surly distributor in the UK and they're not expecting their next re-supply until the 16th of December- i.e. it doesn't really matter who I order through. Does that sound right?

Hey guys,

So I got knocked off my KHS a few days ago. Among other things the forks got bent up. Potential replacements are the Surly Steamrollers, but Cycle Surgery say it'll take three weeks to order them (longer for the KHS) and Wiggle have sold out with no restock date. I don't suppose anyone has some Black 1" Threadless Surly Steamroller Hack Bike Forks they'd care to sell me or advice on where I can find some in London?
