BAM April completed at the start of the month - delayed write up here As I would be away for a few weeks without my bike for most of April, a few days in I added bags to my regular local social hoolie run on the Tongsheng Parkwood - (usually self propelled for BAMs further afield but I need to keep ...

Tyres sorted from Shafiq - still looking for a hub (or recommendations)

March BAM done last week, in the winter sunshine at Grywne Fawr Same format as January BAM - same unseasonal sunshine in an otherwise grey week but the benefit of knowledge on the fallen trees in the forest, an earlier start for The Black Mountains Classic Loop on Day 2, and a couple extra hours day...

Ideally 27.5 x 3.0 tyres and non boost rear hub convertible from qr to thru axle

Open to suggestions/recommendations on a reasonable priced rear hub if I need to buy new, same on the tyres.

This is a late write up for my Feb BAM... Had a quick overnighter in the Cotswolds. I don't visit the area that often with train access a bit awkward, the Royals at one end , Jeremy Clarkson at the other a lot of pheasant shooting in between. However I had recollections of a previous good time on &q...

BAM February done, in the Cotswolds earlier in the week.

Just a tick marker for now, photo s to follow, probably in March

Thanks for the top tip but it has also been playing up a bit recently, not always seen as USB by my laptop when trying to load tracks, factory reset hasn't helped and can't update software etc when connected to Garmin Express. ...

My Etrex 30x, bought on here a while ago is failing at the rubber power button and might leak in the next downpour.

Whilst I could get a replacement cover etc, thought I might see if anyone has a GPS unit they are looking to move on ?

I don't have the answer but I remember a lot of information on the cycling UK technical forum (that might be UK Cycling) l understand that big improvements can be made by changing the angle of the straddle wire etc

Thanks everyone, now sorted with a Scraper i45 from Al

Have pm d to you both. Many thanks

Required as above , ideally qr if complete wheel or thru axle considered.

Also open to a steer on anything new that might be out there that are at the budget end of the market

Late write up for January done on 21st/22nd : Trip up to Grwyne Fawr bothy catching perfect winter sun between some very wet days. It is a small space so with half a rucsac of coal got it toasty - and surprised to have a late night midweek visitor too who strung his hammock above the stove below. Wh...

Thanks for the hook details. A tidy job.

Thanks for showing this and including links - looks like an economical solution Do you have also a link to the hanging hooks, or were they made bespoke ? Thinking that some sort of protective curtain sheet between each bike could be used if needed in a "domestic" setting, like Tyvek or bud...

BAM December done, 12/12 for me in 2024 and maybe another badge on the bag Back to local on the Severn again, but squeezed tightly into early Christmas family weekends etc as we are heading off to Europe until the New Year tomorrow. These trips have been really good during a difficult year, clear th...

Will pm you for Vee tyres

Managed to get November BAM completed early, and far beyond the BS35 postcode for a change. Had a loose loop planned around the Gower, from the in-laws place in Pennard, up onto Cefn Bryn over towards Rhossilli Down then overnight somewhere handy for the Brittania Inn at Llanmadoc. I hadn't really t...

minus the wheels!

I am sure it was. Very impressive heavy hinges still hanging, but no doors !

I did October BAM last night, time was short so localish again but with the new novelty of heading out in the dark Back to Whale Wharf - I had my bright light so did the lit up tent thing, with the Old Severn Bridge in the background https://i.imgur.com/swgPHpa.jpeg A very quiet night in The White H...

September BAM complete, quite local but still good and sociable. I am probably not the only one checking the Met weather maps recently - but with a dry spell at last on Wednesday evening I headed out. Cup of tea from Olveston post office as the murk cleared, and then carried on to pitch at Littleton...
