I've used my CX bike, it's not comfy though if it is very rocky.

Ramped towards the other ring.

Final decision has been made. This is my ride for the HTR. Sleep stuff up front, clothes rear, food in triangle. Hopefully my Alpkit stemcells turn up before I leave, otherwise I may have to take a small rucksack for extra food. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e124/ardsei/Image00001_zpsc1f990fa.jp...

Thanks. I'll be getting some compeed. :)

The last model Swiss military bike, the MO 93 could lug over 300 pounds.

Iirc the WW1 cyclists were never deployed.

Does anyone know of a tape that'll stay put when wet.

In spite of wearing in my new shoes to the best of my ability, I can still forsee the possibility of rubbage to my heel when walking.

Just heard my "serviced" forks are on their way back. I may use my other bike if they get here in time.

Are we all ready?
My bike seems to be working, which is nice

Mine isn't, spent most of yesterday trying to get the gears working properly.

Have just ordered a BIG sprocket. I am going back to SS.

Also trimmed my baggage allowance.

Bad news,

I found some stuff a while back saying really short cranks ie 140mm put less strain on the knee, with no loss of power.

If the four mountain bike guide books are still available I will have them please. PM me your email addy and I will paypal the 20 thanks

PM ed you.

All the previous stuff was dispatched in the last two days.

Discount on mutiple purchases, or if you collect. Montane Prism Jacket - Medium - Laid flat 22" pit to pit at widest. A hole on the sleeve, and a couple of tiny holes on the front. http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e124/ardsei/IMAG0572_zpsa8244996.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e124/ards...

I'm still looking forward to this.

It'd be nice if I had a working bike other than my rigid singlespeed.

Hopefully the postman will bring me a couple of bits and pieces in the next two weeks to remedy that.

Hmm might wear full length cover. I don't need that shiv in my life.

Midges are currently not in action from what i gather from http://midgeforecast.co.uk/home

Seems to have worked. I was more worried about the edge of the patch peeling.

I've ordered some tenacious tape to remedy that though.

I've got a Bozeman mat with a tiny hole, that I have located and patched with a tube patch.

Will this work, or do I need a special repair kit?

I've mailed them.

Appaently they'll have some for the 16th of May, so I'm now sorted.

Next production from Alpkit on Stem Cells completes 23rd May

Thanks, too late for this trip.

Hi,

As per title really. I'm after a couple of feedbags for my bars for the HT550

Thanks Rich

I still do not understand some of these posts. Some people who spank up a fortune on a Ti pot or mug to save 30g over an aluminium one then carry multi tools that weigh around 300g plus!. Plenty of very light options available, even titanium ones (ooooh... precious things). I've got a Lezyne one wh...

Now Sold.

I'll get it back to you. Although my wife was admiring it!

Are you at the wrt?

No WRT for me. Hopefully be able to make one of the Peak Monday night rides soonish. Else if you see Dave first you could leave it with him.

Rich is your pump a silver and red one? If so I picked it up on the top of cut gate.

Hi Ian, yep, that fits the description perfectly..
