Re: XC 29er tyre Recommendations Please

I use schwalbe racing ralphs. They seem a good balance of rolling resistance and grip.

Re: Innov8

I use roclites (either 315 or 305, I can’t remember). I find them great, comfy to walk in, quick drying and stiff enough for pedalling. Uppers don’t last long though before they disintegrate.

BB7 road calipers and WTB Dirt Drop Bars

I’m selling a pair of BB7 road calipers with bolts and spacers. I’ve also got a spare pair of pads lying around somewhere as well. Calipers have a bit of corrosion from road salt, but work fine. £25 posted- no discs. I think one might have lost the red adjustment knob, but it can still be adjusted w...

Re: 2x10 drivetrain for cross bike

Hi Paul, I’mconfident it will take a new chain and the cranks are for external cups. If you are close to Sheffield, you are welcome to come and have a look if potentially interested?

Re: Tent advice - Lunar Solo

I’ve also got one of these and at about 6’4” find that my feet get damp as they touch the side of the tent at the bottom of my bag. This is only

I’ve got a pair of on one carbon forks with an alu steerer (straight) that is about 200mm long (I will check if you are interested in them). They haven’t been used much and will take a 3” tyre at a push. They have a slight mark on one leg where I removed a zip tie with some scissors a bit enthusiast...

Re: Running gaiters, anyone use them?

I do sometimes and they work pretty well. They also stop water running off your waterproof trousers into your shoes when it is really wet, which is also pretty handy.
