Hello! After finding myself slowing down for the wet patches on the North Downs on Sunday I am considering a set of mudguards for my (full sus 27.5") MTB. After some intense googling I have an idea of the kind of thing that's notionally "best", but wondered if anyone has recommendations of recent models or alternative wisdom? The rear one seems to be easy; the front one is where the fun starts:
Garmin Software Update
Some good changes with new update that has just come out if you have a 510/810/1000.
1. You got real time segments now. e.g you approach box hill and Garmin will tell you a segment is coming up then you race real time against your followers / your personal best Something that was only on Edge 1000 before but now open to 510/810 owners (you need to put the segments into Garmin as a one off exercise for it to work)
Hello!
I've had a problem with my rear wheel whereby the gears jump and clatter. C&N have advised me that there's excessive play in the free-hub causing the problem. However, they reckon getting a replacement from Oval Concepts will be difficult and slow. So, assuming I fail to make a warranty claim (the bike is ~14 months old) I guess I'll be looking for a new wheel.
Garmins new Edge 1000 GPS is now out this week. I enclose a quick review of what I think are the main points:
1. Its a lot larger screen so you can actually see the roads now actually use it for navigating.
2. The user interface is the best yet. You no longer need a PHD in gadgets to work it. Menus are clear and the whole lot has been simplified (e.g. bike profiles now removed instead the Edge knows what sensors it finds on your bike and uses that)
3. It has Wifi now so new updates now come down automatically over the air when you get home if firmware update has occurred
All those who like braking in the wet reliably rejoice!
I'm looking for a women's specific saddle for my daughter. The selle Italia gel diva gets good reviews...does anyone have experience of this saddle, or recommendation for another?
Hi currently riding a Giant Defy 2 compact gears on club G2 rides and find the ride position perfect for me. Any advice on something with a similar ride position from ProCycles Hire. Kelvin Beechey
One for the tech heads or for the other halves that never trust you have really been out cycling :)
Same as Edge 800 but now includes:-
1. Live bluetooth link to iPhone/Android mobile. This allows auto posts updates every 30 seconds to twitter/facebook/email. Recipient does not need a Garmin account can click link and see where you are on the map and how hard your trying (av speed, climb info etc.... sent as well) REAL TIME.

Can anyone help?
I have had a new derailleur fitted on my Merida 93 road bike by Ross in caterham on the hill with a new chain and cassette. Despite three visits to Ross the chain slips on the rear cogs when putting pressure on chain. Each time I visit Ross there is an improvement and slipping reduces but it has yet again slipped whilst going up Waller lane Caterham and bencombe Road Purley. Ross has suggested changing to better cables.
Slipping now only occurs on small ring at front and easiest cogs at back.
Chain is correct for 9 speed Tiagra derailleur.
