Thanks all, he currently has my old airshot but with the need to do DIY, he wanted to kill two birds with one stone. Will advise him on CFM requirements.
Cheers!

A friend who lives in a flat (with a garden and lockable bike box but no shed) has decided he wants a compressor for tubeless set up and the odd bit of DIY (pinning skirting etc). I’ve only ever used 50L or larger so I’ve no idea of how small you can get away with. For context I’d imagine he’d be se...

Loads of films on the Kendal Mountain Player (most of the films from the Mountain Festival). If you use the code ECOFLOW10 you can get a month free if you use the monthly option. You do have to put in CC details but you can then cancel immediately and get a month of watching (when I clicked to cance...

That’s what I did and Neil designed me a titanium Cutthroat-a-like mount laden cruiser and it’s been great. Switched between drop and flat bars and the carbon and a fox fork depending on planned riding. Love it.

I’m in. South Lakes based but not done much riding up that way so it’ll be nice to try some new spots. Happy with a group bimble too.

Looks like we're on similar paths!

I'm in, after starting 2021 relatively well and doing some good rides over summer, I started a degree in Autumn and then got totally distracted from riding meant I ended the year the heaviest I've ever been. Aiming to get back in the 85kg range (80kg is the top of the recommended BMI weight but when...

I’ll take the Black trousers please PM incoming.

Also etc, I live in the South Lakes, house still without power (we’ve escaped to parents in Wales). Heard on the grapevine that Grizedale is a complete write off, a lot of the local brides ways are blocked. Will be awhile before a lot of them are passable and I’m not sure how much motivation there w...

My partner and I both used torches as helmet lights until we recently bought a joystick and a diablo to replace them after one stopped working consistently. Other than the conection fault never had a problem with them, but we rarely rode without a bar light too so beam pattern wasn't an issue. I can...

I've got an Alpkit Qark, mainly wanted something that was rechargable but could also take AAAs in an emergency. Has an adjustable lens so I've found it pretty good zoomed in for gravel and easy trail riding and then lower setting zoomed out is good for round camp.

Polaris Fixie Straps. Recommended by someone on here and I always have a couple when I head out. Managed to bodge a snapped derailleur hanger with one to grind my way up Honister and Newlands and repaired a friends front roll harness with a couple looped together.

The seller should be going through the warranty process with SRAM on your behalf : https://www.sram.com/en/service/warranty the seller should go through SRAM but if its grey or OEM that may not be that easy to do I thought the same thing, they tried to fob me off, but I'll have another go with them...

Anything can be fixed but it really depends what the issue is It might be a simple fix but it might be the Air assembly has broken off and scored the inside as it rattles around inside, Personally I would have a quick look inside and then decide whether to return them or not. Thanks, is it just a c...

I recently bought a new SID Sl fork at a decent discount. Worked fine for a few rides and started knocking at the top of the rebound and rattles a little at the top of the stroke. (Feels a bit like the headset is loose, checked and it’s definitely coming from the fork) Seller is saying they can take...

I always think the TCW is weird in that it never feels like the same ride twice. A section that can drag one day can be over in the blink of an eye another. I can imagine, I'm sure the weather and my sugar levels would have made a big difference to a few sections. Equally if I'd started early and k...

After an aborted attempt at the TCW last year with two friends I decided to have another crack at the TCW. (Last year we took over geared gravel bikes and a surprise storm made it unpleasant so we ditched the route after the first night and took the road back to Aberystwyth). Having flexibility mean...

I've used Superstar chainrings on a couple of my bikes, never had any issues.

You can easily swap the exact actuation mech (assuming it’s a force or rival one) to x actuation by changing the plastic cable guide to one from an mtb mech. I’ve probably got one I could spare somewhere. That would allow you to use an mtb 11 speed sram shifter if that helps? I’ve done the opposite...

I'm switching to a flatbar and looking for an 11 speed Sram trigger shifter with Exact Actuation. I believe the APEX1 or S700 should be compatible. Much appreciated!

the shifter works I thught road and mTB disc cablebrakes had different pulls - no idea if hydraulics can be swapped out - I assume there is more value[cheaper] in selling what you have and getting MTB brakes than swapping levers Thought of doing this but I think in future I might want to switch bac...
