February ticked off last Friday. More or less a carbon copy of January, train to wigan, met Sam and John and rode a few miles through the woods to the pub. Met up with a few more guys and had some food. Then onto the bivvy spot for the worst night sleep I've had for a good while. Packed up and rode ...

I setup the jalco rims on my genesis cda no problem. I don't think they're tubeless rims but they've been fine

Thanks Paul but I think I've sorted it now. Thanks for the help guys

Thanks for the offer Paul, but I'm in Warrington. It's appreciated though.

No, I haven't got anything that's even similar. I think I'll nip to a lbs and see what I can get sorted

Sorry yes, it's the whole master cylinder I would need I think.

I haven't got the tools to re tap it. Thanks

I've managed to strip the thread of my longitudes rear brake (reservoir cap screw) looking at getting a replacement but they don't seem to be easy to find just the lever for that specific brake. Being that they're also made of cheese i would consider changing to a different lever but does anyone kno...

I started my BAM on Friday night. I got the train to wigan to meet Sam, rode about 7 Miles to the pub for some tea and a beer. Carried on to the local woodland and got set up. The weather was good to us, we had a few more cans of beer and got in the sleeping bag at about midnight. Bacon barm and a b...

I returned home from work today to find the postman had dropped off a set of Jones bars. Many thanks Stuart!

Great! If it's ok with you with you I'll be in touch tomorrow for payment details etc?

I know it's a long shot but does anyone have a Jones loop with the 2.5 rise that they don't get on with?

I don't know the model for this but decathlon do one for around £2-3 very similar

I've just bought a gas stove for this reason. I usually eat at a pub but as I'm going for BAM this year and I work shifts my bivvies are likely to be quite local. Rather than just leaving the house to sleep in a local wood I think it will increase my motivation if I cook a bit of decent grub while I...

I've used the decathlon mounts on the forks and used a couple of cable ties around the rubber straps to keep them from slipping, they were fine like that.

I'm going for BAM in 2019. I've considered it before and failed miserably. I figure but putting it on here I'll give myself a bit more of a kick up the backside to get it done!

This one Is a bit of a better colour

A shiny new lunar solo from Sweden. Thanks to whoever posted the discount code!

A pair of tenn driven waterproof pants. Probably not as good as some of the more expensive brands but they look like they'll do s good job of keeping the rain out. they're lined too so can wear them against skin without them sticking in the rain.

Incase anyone is interested, the lunar solo comes in at £198 with the discount code above. I've pulled the trigger on one. The discount finishes today

Thanks for the help!

I've been thinking of getting a set of 650b wheels but not sure if the bike will take them. Is there an easy way to work it out? It's a genesis cda10. I can't find any info anywhere about if they will fit or not.

Depending on how much abuse you intend to give it you could always look at the naturehike cloud 2. I'm 6ft 4 and it's plenty big enough for me. I sleep on a bit of an angle in it but that's fine if you're alone. I doubt it'd stand up to really bad stuff but it's around 1.3kg or less and I've been im...

Nutrak do a 700 x 35/45 tube. I bought some yesterday for my cda. Was going to go tubeless but the tyres aren't tubeless and too loose on the rim. I'll go tubeless eventually when the tyres need swapping.

I ordered a 450ml pot and spoon for £16. Arrived after about 10 days and is spot on. Waiting for the titanium stove now too, only ordered that last week.

I think the CDA is perfect for all of that, I'll use mine for the odd night out too but probably use the longitude more for that.
