Looking to buy some kit for my mtb rides. Recently got a hi vis jacket, most of my riding is off road but can include country lanes.
I'm after a hi vis compact ruck sack and possibly a saddle bag. Also a decent and compact pump.
Can anyone recommend a local shop or the best place online?  Ta.

Why not try places like Chain Reaction, Wiggle, Tweeks, Merlin, Evans - probably better quality than Karrimor

Most local to Swindon is Hargroves which I detest.

By nearly half a minute over Martin is an impressive performance, although the hilly course no doubt helped.

I see he's confirmed he'll go for the hour record now too.

GB have a pretty strong squad out for the Road Race.....long and hilly circuit.  Not sure how well Froome is sorted for this sort of stuff.  Italy and Spain usually have the individuals, but not necessarily the team, however as it's in Spain, you'd have to fancy them.

You only have to look at Rui Costa's win from last year to see that a team effort means very little on a hilly course. A little (or a lot in Rui Costa's case) wheel sucking will get you no favours but a decent chance at a fresh finish.

There's plenty in form that will fancy this one. I'd like to see Rodriguez go well, seemed to have the legs through the Vuelta.

I have a 24 speed (3x8) MTB, which has started to occasionally 'jump' gear on the back set. Can anyone link me to a 'what to do ' guide please?

Start off by giving the chain and cassette a good clean. Usually cures minor niggles.

After that, consult Sheldon's bible and learn how to index the gears: http://sheldonbrown.com/derailer-adjustment.html

It might just need a quarter or half a turn of the barrel adjuster. You shouldn't need to adjust any limit screws (as long as the chain hasn't been jumping off the cassette completely).
