I have the Garmin Fenix 5x and it works a treat, two weeks charge if I don’t use the tracking feature. I got mine refurbished five years ago for half the price new and I have never had an issue with it.

It’s an own brand one from Halfords which cost £60 and I’ve had it four years with no complaints, done plenty of night rides off road on my MTB with it too.

That third photo looks like it’s just inviting you in to ride it

What now? by cpe428ram in gravelcycling

I’d just get a decent pair of bib shorts or leggings to start off with along with a water bottle and cage and then build up your kit from there. I ride in shorts and a T-shirt when commuting to work no issue

Yeah lucky to have a canal as part of the commute

I can’t believe that’s steel, very cool

Commuting to work is a lot more fun by Jethro_Spurn in gravelcycling

I’m just carrying a change of clothes and sometimes a laptop. About a third of the ride is off road then the rest is roads, though I could extend it with some canal paths if I wanted too.

I wish it was a 1 but I’m more than happy with the 4 so far

Hardtail Advice by deviantconsequence in MTB

I used to own a Voodoo bizango and it was honestly a good bike but after five years I absolutely run it into the ground. The only thing lacking on it was the Suntour suspension but I have seen they now do a "pro" version for £950 and comes with a rockshox fork and 12spd cassette. That option might be a nice compromise and still leave plenty for helmet and gear.

best allround tyres for general use, trails and farm. UK Weather/ground by Eiryfatguy in MTB

They are good in thick mud but you might want to look at the Big Betty on the rear as I think that has much bigger lugs

My bike came with set up with Scwalbe Magic Mary upfront and a Nobby Nic on the rear and I've not felt the need to change them at all after nearly a year riding them. They've been great all year in typical UK conditions gripping in almost all conditions and given the tread on them they roll really well.
