Re: MYOG Duomid A frame
I had a gatewood and yes, I agree it would be a worthwhile experiment.frogatthefarriers wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2024 8:28 pm That’s a pretty neat idea. I get irritated by the pole in the middle of the Gatewood. Me not being a weight-weenie, the extra weight might be a worth-while penalty.

MYOG Duomid A frame
I've been frustrated by the central pole in my Duomid so today I put together an A frame which seems as if it will do the trick. Alpkit do a 170mm pole (Vertex), so I started with two of those. I took the knobs of the tops of the poles so that the pole would fit into a sleeve. Though I left the inte...

I've some 'funn full on' risers spare - 30mm rise by the looks and 785 wide. Usual sweep - probably 11 degree back sweep and 5 degree up sweep I'd say. Any use?
Cheers

Re: Badger Divide - Parking Glasgow?
An update.
There were no replies on this thread when I set off, so with street view I picked somewhere "suitable" 3 miles out of town in Balornock near some shops, but not in front of someone's house.
I'll find out tomorrow if my car is still there.![😂](//cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/twemoji@latest/assets/svg/1f602.svg)

Badger Divide - Parking Glasgow?
I'm driving up to Glasgow to ride the Badger Divide over 4 days.
Any ideas what the score is with parking near the start?

Apparently Tics are already rampant up there. Permethrin lotion keeps the feckers off.

Re: Aeroe rear rack thoughts
Can't say i really noticed the weight. Definitely a wide load though which took a bit of getting used to.fatbikerbill wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 5:36 pm Rich,
How does that ride with so much weight at the back?
For the TMB I'd balance it out with a Salsa cage on the bars.

Re: Aeroe rear rack thoughts
I have one which I've strapped 2 20 litre dry bags too.
Carbon fibre seatstays on my Salsa Pony Rustler. So far done the N loop of the 550 and part of the Jennride without any dramas.
Probably going to use it on the TMB in June, though just with one bag on top.

Re: Cranktank 3 vs cages on fork + smartwater bottles
I used a 3 litre Cranktank last summer on a month long trip in France where the temperature touched 40 C a few times.
It was great to know that I always had some water.
Remember to sterilise every few days with Milton tablets or similar.
