Thanks to Shona and Rich over at keep pedalling a lovely Dynamo wheel arrived this week, went for the crest rim and SP PD-8x hub, so thanks for the comments on here when I was deciding!

Collected an Exped Downmat Lite 5LW matress from Ultralight Outdoor Gear as I was in the area.
I went for the W(ide) because when I sleep on my back my elbows fall off the side of my Neo Air waking me up each time.

An accidental eBay win of a 29+ wheel. Dunno why I bought it as I don't really need a spare but hey...

[benp1]

A bit late now, but I've had a few things turn up recently

new Stans tubeless valves after my other one buggered up
more Stans fluid
Exposure Diablo - very pleased with this!

There's more but I just can't remember

[Bearbonesnorm]

A prototype, 3 mount Gorilla cage mounting adaptor has just arrived ... looks smashing and should be ideal for those without cage mounts on their forks.

Revo returned from Exposure after I put the wrong wire into the output port and borked it.
£14.50 repaired and posted for being a muppet.

Ah - I'd just received a reply to the email, that I'd sent to Parable, asking if they were going to make those (and they replied positively)

Glad to see that you're in the loop, and look forward to hearing your opinions.

In the loop, I should say so ... who's idea do you think the Gorilla cage was?

[whonickedmename]

I had a set of barely used on one fat wheels from ebay and a roll of bright orange reflective tape for when I drill them out

Any chance of a picture or two?

It attaches with 4 cable ties ... they pull in opposing directions which is a nice touch. The rear is concave and has rubber pads to help prevent any slippage. So far, it's fitted every fork I've tried it on. I still need to try it properly but I have high hopes.

[whitestone]

That looks neat. Have you just been trying it on round/oval type forks (i.e. most steel models) or carbon blade type ones as well?

[johnnystorm]

Oh yes, I'll be having some of those!

[Ben98]

Would it fit on a seatstay?

[benp1]

Would it fit on a seatstay?

That would be a touch dangerous wouldn't it? The angle would mean it might flip down and into the wheel. Although probably OK for something light

Forks at least at (mostly) vertical

Not tried it on monocoque type forks. I don't think it would fit straight on but I'm sure it would with a little padding to flatten the rear out.
