Re: BB200 2024
The huge climb up to the Berwen was a pig, and the traverse too. The one after Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant had me swearing at Stu quite a lot, both up and down. It was all in the dark for me, and there was a big bog at the top that I had no choice but to just follow the dot, and then coming down the dot...

Re: BB200 2024
Edit - Stu, looks like there were at least four of us that ended up on the wrong path on the 300. I wonder how many were stupid enough to force their way through that downed tree... :???: Yes, I bumped into the same problem. I decided to just go around by going into the river rather than back up, a...

Re: Wheel Rims - Again
No Tubes rims need lower spoke tensions than several other brands, so maybe whoever built them didn't know that? Unlikely, but you never know. I'd recommend either DT Swiss as they have plenty of options, including some that are eyeletted. Or Jon @ justridingalong is an incredible wheel builder and ...

Poggies for kids
I'm using an ebike to travel with 2 kids (3yo & 5yo - not at the same time) and looking for a solution to keep their hands warm through winter. It's a front mounted Macride and they hold onto the main handlebar and I've put a second set of grips further in. Does anyone know if there are poggies ...

Re: Track pumps with the chamber on for tubeless
I have the Lezyne pump and also a compact 2hp Super Squirrel compressor and to be honest, the pump never gets used now. The pump is OK for most MTB, but for road it isn't always perfect and here a compressor just works much, much better having a constant airflow. Whatever you get, make sure you get ...

Re: Which tapered dry bag?
The Wildcat one I find good. The weight/protection level seems good. No wear on mine, although it's not had masses of use.
In general the Wildcat kit I find very good and well made.

Re: Probably done to death, but.. What shelter would you recommend?
Another Gatewood cape user here. Complete with Stu's carbon pole. The only negative I find is that in high winds they can feel unstable - although this is likely due to my skill in putting it up I would guess. On good days, use with a tyvek or lightweight waterproof groundsheet and on rough days a l...

Re: Wheel build comments ref. the ideal Dyno wheel for bike packing and touring
I can't fault my SON28 hub and also the kLite (road version) is excellent. I was recommended the sinewave charger and have one, although not wired up to use it yet. While SP hubs and all rebranded versions (like Alpkit, USE, etc) are supposed to be good I spend a little more on the SON as they are s...
