Yep, that's the one, only bought from Clee Cycles. Really nicely made. What the description doesn't tell you (or I didn't bother reading) is it comes with 31.8 and 26.0 diameter clamps and two tubes to fit either end so you get more mounting options. Trimmed one of the tubes to length last night, and it tips the scales at only 18g.

You anywhere near north Wales ? Got about 4kg sat in the garage you can have.Richard G wrote:My new bottle cages and bottles have arrived for my experiment with lead weighting... Now I just need some lead shot!
I'm thinking that I'm probably going to need to velcro the bottles in place though as whilst I bought the sturdiest cages I could find, they still don't seem that sturdy.

Great shout Ian that was exactly what I was looking for and will replace my bodged stem version of the same that weighs a ton

Just be careful not to over tighten the clamp on the extra tube. It's very thin and will crush (then end up getting loose and rattle)Ian wrote:Yep, that's the one, only bought from Clee Cycles.

I had one prior to the loops I've got now and it did end up rattling loose due to me overtightening.

A rather nice stove from Stuart, works well for my mytimug or my 450 ml mug, pretty chuffed

All fits in the 450 ml mug nicely with room for lighter and a couple of coffees!

Bargain Silwing from Needlesports. Nice bit of kit but need a slightly longer pole now.
Re: The post man's been ...
I have one myself, and yeah, you basically need a tree or a truly massive pole to make it work.

A lovely set of Jones loops in 710mm flavour, with a 100mm zero rise thomson....bought used, but immaculate, and wrapped by me in Brooks leather tape within minutes of taking them out of the box!

I've been riding the titec j-bar for a year or so, with a view to getting these...

Think you got a dud there Ian, the logo is on backwards

If you view it from the rear of your monitor, you'll find the logo is the correct way aroundvoodoo_simon wrote:Think you got a dud there Ian, the logo is on backwards

Bundle of DT spokes and a Park Wheel truing stand. Going to swap everything out on my rear hope hoop that seems to lose a spoke every other time I go out.

Re: The post man's been ...
Just back in the gate from Oz...found my repaired Pole-A-Bear pole waiting for me. A big thanks to Mr S8tan for sorting that out. I'm liking the b&w BB Bivvy Gear sticker. Need to find a space on Lois that isn't covered in luggage for that one.

Not the postman but a trip to Keep Pedalling came up trumps with 2 new Stans 52mm Hugo 29er+ rims built up as tubless on my bike packing and long distance bike.
