Thanks for the feedback I also spoke to my LBS and he's pretty honest and open and advised it's pot luck with them no consistency and commonly in for bearing replacements like they wear excessively

Looking to change the wheels on my Kona rove for some sonder dynamo ones purely for the extra flexibility of being able to charge things on the go, just wondering if anyone has any feedback on these as they seem a very good price for 650 wheels im only running 8 speed claris groupset for now so woul...

Are the TRP calipers the cable hydraulic ones ? If so do you have a pic and price please

Brakes - try some bigger rotors, if you can, before changing calipers? After that, go cable actuated hydraulic - TRP? I think the cable actuated aTRP may be the route to go down for me, I'm hopefully going to get some bars more suited to me for Christmas this year so will look to do the brakes etc ...

Just got my hands on a Kona rove AL at a fantastic price from my LBS, I've made a few subtle additions and today discovered the brakes a little lack luster probably due to my love of pies :mrgreen: would prefer to keep cable.operated as I can keep my levers they're currently Hayes cx I believe It's ...

That would be great I've got a set of cheap loop bars and my alpkit bag and harness won't fit now as I've only got a short headtube but I tried a smaller bag shape thats longer and it fits

Are these bags narrower and longer than the alpkit 13l airloc bag?

Excellent thank you I'll get measuring and dremmel some marks thanks again for all the info

I've got a alpkit myti mug the 600 I think it is. Would it be safe to engrave or even roughly scratch markings on the side for measurements on the inside of it without making it unsafe for food purposes. I want a rough measure of water levels for doing noodles etc would rather mark this than carry s...

You guys are just amazing !! I'll be ordering a carbon pole to go with.

Thanks for the info I've got a 3x3 DD tarp but my little boy is mildly autistic loves camping etc but just needs the familiarity/routine of the zips or closing of doors for him to settle we have tried with a tarp and he was a bit anxious etc. Don't want his hangups to stop him enjoying the outdoors...

Mitomaniac - I've asked stu to cut a extra piece for my carbon pole ,I've just sent him a message if he hasn't started to cut the pole told him to let you have it as you've pulled at my bleedin heart strings :-bd Thank you ever so much for your generosity and consideration, you've made my week well...
