Depends whether you want it to be road legal, or just something to take to shows on a trailer. Road (motorbike) tyres need the correct approval stamps on them, so no you can't just stick mountain bike tyres on them. In terms of usefulness, Avon do the speedmaster classic tyres in 21" and I'd ha...

So based on the recommendations above and even more googling. Thermarest NeoAir XLite, seems to be a bit warmer and more rectangular than the equivalent weight (~360g) Exped Synmat HL. And a few reviews mention it being better side sleepers and people who move about (crisp packet noise aside)? I've ...

Rab survival zone lite bivvies aren't fully waterproof (including the base) so not ideal. Borah gear bivvy is the same weight, has a waterproof base and a bug mesh.

Yea, I like the look of the Borah stuff, keep the slugs out! Getting upto tent money though.

I've said it many times but tent Vs bivvy shouldn't come down to weight. It's more of a lifestyle choice :lol: Haha, I'd agree. but sometimes it'd just be nice to upgrade from type III to at least type II fun after a bad day rather than trying to figure out how to get from soaking wet cycling kit t...

My current kit's bit me on the ass a few times, especially when an unforecasted 12hour "shower" has followed me for a hundred miles on a ride where I'd decided I could do without a tarp to save some weight :oops: Current kit: Tent - Gelert Solo It's fine for what it is, and the weight isn'...

The 11s freehub will fit, but apparently cassettes might not, the 40t hub body is narrower to clear them.

Ive got a set and considered upgrading to micro spline but TBH by the time ive added that, 12mm addapters and boost addapters its not far off the cost of a new hub.

Sorry, just realized I never replied to your message, yep it sold.

I've got a NOS Fatty Trail with a carbon fork that I'm in two minds about selling. On the one hand I already miss the Mk1 and the frame is over a lb lighter. On the other, I have way too many bikes!

Dunno where you lot hang out but arround here poles are growing out of the ground. There's so many I dont bother with carrying poles. We call them trees

Im tempted to MYOG a lock. after losing my little alarmed one somewhere North of Peebles.

Something like 2.5mm stainless wire (dinghy rigging) threaded/spliced into some dyenema. Should resist anything shy of bolt cutters and not weigh all that much, just add a small padlock.

Vittoria tereno Wet 40c. Haven't tried the mix/dry/zero but the wet is pretty quick rolling.

Smart Sam 35c on the back because Im a cheapskate.

Walter Mitty, a character in a story that daydreams of sucess they never had.

Now used as derogatory slang for people who wear army surplus at the weekend or turn up at remmbrance services with medals they bought on ebay and were never actually in the army.

I like OnOne, but why do they still ship frames in tiny boxes? It cant be a small percentage that get mashed in transit?

Or is the cost to them of a few exra frames in an order offset against much cheaper shipping because the box is nominally smaller?

Still for sale, price dropped to £320.

I reckon you'll regret selling her, mate. I've got a Fatty Trail Frame and some Chinese forks ready to go, this one has to go because there physically isn't room in the bike rack to squeeze a second set of fat tyres in 🤣 and I need to move the new frameset out of the car garage! Hi Do you have a se...

It's a large, but the standover is equivelent to about a 15" frame as they were all the same just the reach, headtube and seatube changed. I reckon you could stick a really stubby 35mm stem on there and probably have some growing room. I think off the top of my head the reach is 450mm? Only thi...

Dug it back out of the shed to take some pics of the various scuffs and rubs. There is the shallowest of dinks in the top tube somewhere but I couldn't find it. Open to sensible offers as I need to clear some space so I can work on the car. N.B. the white wheels are staying for my gravel bike unless...

Dug it out of the shed and took a load more photos. Open to sensible offers as I need to clear some space to work on the car in the garage. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49661989538_43a5da77b7_k.jpg 20200315_150931 by thisisnotaspoon , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49661989498_...

It probably depends on the tyre width, a mtb tyre will work differently to a cross one. I did say they werent as good as the Terrano wet, but they are 1/3 of the price, which is worth a consideration if you do a lot of miles. And the tread is arranged in a cross pattern with a center ridge on knobbl...

Mine was a large and im 6ft, actually felt much bigger than most drop bar' d bikes, which might have contributed to it feeling slow. Did have a 110mm stem on it though whereas I think most have 90/100? Unless you disslike the low flat bar position on the inbred i think it will end up quite similar. ...

I agree with the NorwayCalling about it not being light or responsive. Although I didn't get on with it. Always felt like Id pedal as hard as I could and it just went "and what do you want me to do about it". Conversely my CAADX is an over excited spanniel yelping "again, again, come ...

I’ve just bought an adhesive Garmin mount and a spare case for my phone. Seems a pretty good (cheap) solution, although my iPhone XR is a big lump and it does leave me slightly nervous over sustained big bumps. Thats just what i did with a £2.99 case and a £4.50 garmin adhesive mount which came wit...

I've still got pretty much the same setup, although I've somehow lost my goretex bag? Was actually about to ask the question "what to do to lighten it a bit?". My 2p, ditch the aeropress and take a coffee bag. Less weight and bulk. Tear the bag open afterwards and scatter/bury the used cof...

Yup please

On a related note, screwfix have their site branded bamboo LS thermals on sale at the moment. You have to dig for it on the website as its not labled as bamboo.

Ive got the fake chinese version of the spurcycle bell, its nowhere near as nice as the real thing. I do like the fact its silent when just riding allong though, not rattling about making a racket. Worth £50, debatable. Its nicely made, it wont rust, it sounds nice. So its certainly better than anyt...

I could probably dig it out but broadly a fairly efficient car is about 200g of co2 per km (not the 100 it says on the advert for a prius driven on a rolling road). So london to glentress as an example is 160kg of CO2. For manufacturing there are rules of thumb like 5kg per kg of steel (for bulk stu...
