What's so different about the Jones mount?

Work today and then watching a load of blokes kick a ball of air on the telly tonight.
Do need to get out soon though even if it's just for an overnight. Last weekend's road/Sustrans tour from Edinburgh to Newcastle isn't as fun as a proper off road adventure..

I'm struggling to understand why he would make all that effort to go out for the grand depart and not ride the current course.

Mate's got himself one of these lately. Saw it last weekend. Looks really good for the money and kept him dry

Poor man is the right choice of words. Drives nice though...

Postman didn't bring it but today's new arrival. So looking forward to being able to chuck a bike in it without faffing around with a rack!

Yeah, but ask yourself if all the pain is really worth it.

I'll pm you.

Cheers for the replies. Seems a pretty versatile setup.

What do you consider a sensible offer?

I've recently gone from a triple (10 speed) to a single front ring with a sunrace 11-42 cassette and a 32T front ring. Whilst I like the minimal weight saving and low fuss, I wouldn't rush to do it, especially if it means a mishmash of bits. I don't think the benefits are that great. The best thing ...

Having seen a few Stooges on here, Stu's review and the massive thread on STW., I'm very tempted to get a frame and transfer all the bits over from my current 29er. One thing that confuses me though is how does the EBB work? I currently have hollowtech bottom bracket and crankset. Do the cups just s...

Yep. Go Lee!

Keflavik security are bordering on militant. They didn't take it well at all when I got the Thermarest out.

Carmex works for me. Treat yourself and opt for the cherry flavour.

I use look keo carbon my road bike and spds on my cx/winter road bike.

I started off on spds for mountain biking as that's what my father in law had. He got be into mountain biking so I assumed that's what everyone used. I got into road biking pretty heavily so continued to use clipless pedals. Last year I got a decent full suspension bike and made the switch to flats....

Lastly, the SON 28 hub has gone onto a 50mm carbon rim for me to run 29+ on the Highland Trail.

Is surprised.

I take it you're running a rigid fork this year then? Didn't you use a suss fork previously?

What was so scary about the place?

I use the montane batpack. I think it's pretty good.

The decathlon undershorts are good. Same pads as the bibs.

Good effort!

I'd planned on touring it this weekend but had to cancel my train tickets after crashing and picking up a knee injury a couple of weeks ago.
I'd planned to do it over 2-3 days so nothing like your crazy schedule. Will probably wait until September now...

Sounds fair to me.

I'll pm you details....

I've got a set in grey/black. They're the original ones, not hinged.
Make me an offer...
