Re: Lightweight touring rack | Tailfin? Other alternatives?
Nice setup. Not cheap though, eh!? Thanks for the info and photos, much appreciated. What type of bike do you use this on? What was the total spend for the rack and bag/s? If you have a photo of the setup, could you share it? I have a Tailfin Aeropack, though the aluminium version and a selection of...

Re: Lightweight touring rack | Tailfin? Other alternatives?
Thanks. I remember looking at this rack before. The difference in price between this and the Tailfin makes it more appealing. I see they have the Quick Rack Light as well, which could work well too. An ortlieb quick rack might work for you - you’d just need a set of adapters for each bike and then s...

Re: Lightweight touring rack | Tailfin? Other alternatives?
I live in Málaga so the weather is decent pretty much all year round. I often rent out my apartment for short periods, which then pays for me to travel and rent other places in different locations, but while I am away, I often miss having the bike. So I was thinking of taking regular 'breaks' where ...

Lightweight touring rack | Tailfin? Other alternatives?
I'm looking to start combining touring with remote working, so I think that using a pannier is going to be the best option. I'd like a rack that I could switch between my road bike and the gravel bike, and for this process to be as quick and easy as possible. What are the options? Is there anything ...

WTD: Cyclocross-style bike frame 54-56cm
I'm looking to replace an old On One Dirty Disco frame, and wonder if anyone has a cyclocross-type frame (or even a whole bike) that they'd like to offload. I'm not looking to spend a fortune.

Re: WTD: Road frameset 56cm
I have a Focus Cayo full carbon frame and fork in 58cm that I need to clear out of the shed. It seems solid to me although has a bit of a scratch on the top tube, mostly looks like its just the clearcoat but I'm cautious with these things. I would still ride it no problem though. I'd sell it for £6...

WTD: Road frameset 56cm
I know this is probably not the best forum for seeking a road frameset, but I don't really use other forums and I've found in the past that the folks in the BearBones forum are pretty sound. Anyway - Does anybody have a carbon frame and fork that they would like to part with? I'm 6' so I'm looking f...

Inner tubes for 700x40c tyres
For those of you that use cyclocross and similar bikes, what inner tubes do you use?
I'm running a pair of WTB Nano 700 x 40c tyres and the normal 700 x 18-25c tubes are just not enough.

Cycling solo in Morocco
Has anyone here cycled SOLO in Morocco? I live just 20-mins from the ferry port in Malaga and I've got 5 days free at the end of June. Many of the folk here say that Morocco is safe BUT strongly advise against cycling solo. One of the main points is that people do roadblocks / stop traffic to try to...

A group ride sounds like a good idea, though I'm fine about riding solo too or breaking in to smaller groups. We haven't got a definite place lined up yet. I'm back in Barca on the 15th for 5 days looking at property and areas, then back out again with wife and kids mid-Feb. The places I'm going to ...

I recently took advantage of Planet X's deal on the Pickenflick with SRAM Force. I love the bike. I'm going to stick some flared drop bars on it, but I'm stuck with what wheels to go with (They come with Gipiemme Roccia Equipe wheels). I've been using tubeless on my MTB all year and want tubeless fo...

WTD: Alpkit Big Shakeout ticket
It's my own fault for not buying a ticket early enough.
I also applied to be a volunteer over a month ago but I haven't heard anything back.
I've had a ball at the Big Shakeout the last couple of times and would like to go again...
So, does anyone have a ticket going spare?
