This is getting better and better.

I only attended the Manifold Roadshow and thought it was perfect. Hill and flat section. Plenty of parking. Tea rooms and toilets. Beautiful scenery.

Just had another look. This looks very good, will be interesting to compare when I get my bike. Soon baby, soon.

I've just completed the process Pete and awaiting delivery.

If you've got a Smartphone, why not use that. Take a look at an App called Cyclemeter - it's excellent and inexpensive; furthermore the company are incredibly helpful.

It's good to talk. Typed in my postcode and there are the 3 lovely circles. They don't of course take account of the terrain eg going west I would be climbing 400m; going east I would be descending 60m. Not sure how useful this is in its basic form but as 50 Hertz said it's good you are trying to assist customers.

JE James - non in stock. Shop has got back to me they are going to order them from somewhere else so I'll end up with what I want. Nice.

Garry GIANT INNERTUBE 700X35-43C SCHRADER THORN RESISTANT Is this the correct tube and size for me to order for the Neo Cross? Tony

Thanks Martin - that convinces me. Regarding thorn proof tubes; are they still available?

BH Neo Cross

Bike supplier is wondering if I really want Marathon Plus tyres fitted as: the bike already comes with K-shield puncture resistant tyres; they already look substantial for what is provided in the spec? Tyre supplied with bike is this: CST C1446 Anti Puncture I've tried looking for reviews/comments on this tyre but can't find anything. Anybody know if this tyre is good at puncture resistance? I presumed K-shield is a Kevlar strip but it might mean Kenda. Any advice gratefully received.

Artstu - Does it recharge the battery when you go downhill?"

I watch football much less than I used to. I also hate that phrase: 'won a foul'.

Spot on Flecc. Exactly the same as in our normal day to day lives - let something go and soon it becomes a 'norm'. Thin end of the wedge.

There certainly is. It's one of those areas that the more you know, the more you learn you don't know. So you learn some more, then you know more... repeat this iteration as many times as you like.

Ha ha. Knew someone would bite. Neo Cross, with thorn proof tubes and Marathon Plus tyres. Seven to ten days can't wait... Hiking in Snowdonia tomorrow, weather looks good.

Well I've taken the plunge and ordered today.

Nah - just a little light relief

Add me please. LL13

Got a subscription on the iPad which is good. Nice...

We're not talking about the Neo Cross and similar are we?

Is there is issue with BH Emotion bikes? Taff

It was the eRace650. I think now my choice is this bike or the Neo Cross.

Hope so. Think that's resolved. I couldn't get an answer from Ian. Personally I loved the bike but don't know how it would cope on hills like the one at Wetton.
