Hmmmm.. That is extremely cheap - could be a winner :)

I'll look at some reviews. It's a little bit clunky looking though - maybe I could mount a front facing one above my right ear and rear above my left and pretend I'm Micky Mouse...

I've spent a good amount of time looking at reviews and this is the best chinese camera you can get right now for a fair price.

other is mobius but that isn't waterproof which can be a bit annoying.

I think I'll get it next week and try it out.. too much going on in the roads to miss the crazy bits lol.

and it'll be quite nice and tidy?

My 810 is set up to change from the page i am looking at - ie cadence, speed, etc etc - to a map page when i approach any junctions, and it tells me where to turn and how far....its been a while since i followed a map though, so i can't remember if it then reverts back automatically or if i have to reselect the page i want afterwards.

Hmm...That does sound like it could work. I kind of hoped I could have the forward facing camera helmet mounted so when I turned to look at offending vehicles or idiots I could make sure it got a decent picture.

I don't plan on posting videos on youtube claiming that all drivers are idiots but I've been in a crash before where having video evidence would have been handy and I don't want to have that happen again.

that's my plan tho ;) just getting the best bits out of weeks worth of commute and stitching it together.. including my worst mistakes lol.

it shouldn't be TOO bad in theory.. won't be as good as helmet mounted but I don't wear a helmet so there's no other option :o

I've done a few, but just had a look at La Meteo and unfortunately think the Alpes is out this weekend. Might go do Ventoux again..

Off to the Pyrenees for 10 days in August...\o/.
 
Hi guys, need your knowledge and skills.

Just picked up cheap Peugeot Road bike and going to convert into singlespeed. Where can I pick up some parts is there a good site. I've gone on eBay and found a sugino pista 44t for £30, is this decent?

Would be grateful for some websites and recommendations of good decent quality parts. I also need to replace the stem and would like to get a bullhorn and some decent brakes and pedals

Thanks
 
Thanks man, if anyone knows anymore then I would appreciate letting me know.

Just need a good stem and crankset. Oh yeah the cassette thingy whatever its called that turns the crankset, it is cylinder . What's a good decent make for my conversion?
