Second the fabric scoop(shallow), have them on all bikes, got used one with titanium rails for about £20 and bonus Welsh flag printed on it

Will take second dibs if above doesn't go through

I did it this year. Got a far as llandovery and called it a day due to trench foot and general lack of energy 😩. I really enjoyed it but Was twice as hard as I expected, but then again I'm not that experienced yet. Have signed up again for next year tho. I'm in Risca so was a short down hill ride to...

Thanks for the replies

Hi.

What size dry bag would the smaller tiger harness take?

Thanks guys. Will try a bigger screw first, just need to find one with a small enough head as it’s a close fit.

What’s wrong with your current one? I’ve repaired enough of them, everything except the blue and red gear cable spools are available as spares. I have a leak from the bladder/cap that I can’t seem to get rid of. Have tried several new bladders and caps incase they were the issue but hasn’t made a d...

Thanks Phil. Was hoping I’d got lucky with a deal.

Hi. I’m looking for a replacement right hand 11 speed force shifter for hydraulic brakes. Would anyone know of this will work? https://www.planetx.co.uk/products/sram-force-11-brake-lever-shifter Listing doesn’t say if it’s for hydraulic brakes or not and its listed for a force 22 which I believe is...

I’ve signed up as well. Starts less than a mile from home too.

That’s wasn’t me no. I was the one who had to come back to the start again after forgetting my camelbak

First time doing an event like this for me. Had to bail at roughly half way. Initially a bit disappointed in my self for not seeing it through, but I learnt a lot from the experience and will hopefully be back a bit more prepared next year. Thanks Stuart for a monster of a route.

Appreciate all the replies.
I’ve gone for moon vortex pro for helmet mount as I can carry spare batts

Still undecided on Main bar mounted light tho.

Thanks for such a great response. I can see me having to dig deep for an Exposure

Hi. I’m looking to upgrade my lighting system ready for the Nov Bb200 from my budget Planet X torch type light. Seems to be a world of options and prices vary a lot. Can anyone recommend some options for a bar mount and a helmet mount lights. Not after the cheaper eBay type, but also don’t want to s...

Best of luck all

Most definitely, I’ll need some last min pointers.

This is perfect. Will give them a shout Thanks.

Hey. First post. Been a lurker for a little while now. And Will no doubt continue to lurk in the future :wink: Can anyone suggest somewhere decent to stay for the night before November event (fri 4th), I’m coming up from near Cardiff. Or do most people camp? Cheers Zane. P.s Proper newbie to this ki...
