Looks amazing, going to have to see if I can get permission for next year.

Not normal fair for this forum but its got to go for something a little more rounded. 2015 Nukeproof Mega 275 XL size. Comes with a RockShox Monarch Plus with the debonair sleeve upgrade. Few scuffs and marks as you'd expect, protected most of the frame early on with thick heli tape. its got one of ...

Cyclestore.co.uk have got loads of specialized clothing on big discount at the moment, just picked up a pair of my favourite light weight baggies for 60%off.

Too much for me, especially when you include getting there.
Also I'm not sure I get this timed segment style. Think it misses the point of gravel style riding.

Can't see how they're going to work. The holes will just provide somewhere else for the mud to collect.

Ive been running the Challenge Gravel Grinders in a 38c for while now, Set them up tubeless (not a tubeless tyre) and theyve been good for a couple of thousand km I reckon. Back one is a bit slick now, but done the Reiver on them, a whole lotta commuting and recently even a bit of singletrack. Going...

Couple of months ago I'd have probably taken you up on that, but recently built a Genesis High Lat for those duties.

Just thought I'd try it here before on ebay or splitting it. Only selling as its been replaced by something through work. Quite a random build, but the main bits are Kinesis 5t disc frame, carbon legged fork, 60cm. Shimano Ultegra 10spd levers, Shimano cable disc calipers, Alivio rear mech with a 11...

Pity the Shimano XT dynamos aren't available in bolt through yet as they are cheap and readily serviceable

Definitely got my interest.

What's happened to Rob Brown, his tracking has jumped straight up? Poor reception on the spot? I was hoping someone might be able to shed light on this, I used to ride with Rob a few years back before he upped sticks to NZ. I did see on Facebook he was attacked by a dog a day or so ago on route so ...

Got the outdoor tech buckshot. been on the bike in some pretty miserable weather and still working well.

'kin hell Greg, I heard about a guy grabbing a handful of gels at one feed stop and explaining about the possible broken jaw. Really hope they get the bastards. Even more kudos to you for completing it. Did see you out there several times, but never really got talking. Really happy to get round in a...

Brand new, got the wrong size for the frame I had in mind so thought I'd offer it out to you guys before sending it back. £45 inc postage.
Pics can be emailed if you want.

More like yesterdays ride now, but with the looming Reiver 200 coming up, theres nothing like some last minute practice! So me and a friend headed off to do the ton of gravel route. Weather and timing was against us in the end, but still clocked up 80 miles and 3100m of climbing. https://farm2.stati...

Got myself a half frame bag from the nice guys at Alpamayo Designs who rather also included a bag of mini eggs! https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1632/26170990471_04500c9edc_c.jpg DSC_0016 by PeteG55 , on Flickr And a Garmin Touring Plus. Decided that was needed after trying to navigate a route using m...

Impressive going, especially on your own. Can't say I like the look of your feet in that last pic mind.

CRC own Hotlines, the UK distributor for WTB products so as Greg says if they haven't got them.
I think the stock is disappearing out to preorders as quick as they can get them in.

planning on bivvying it? The ridgeway is something I've been looking at for a while. Do-able on a CX bike? Pete, think your near me? Have read that people have done it on CX bikes, but chalk is very slippery when wet. I'm planning on riding to Goring and back (120 miles) over the Easter Weekend and...

Bought one of these last year for my brother. appears to be great and is designed purely for bottle cages. Think I saw a photo of Cavendish using one for tea on a training ride not so long ago.

Not exactly bike packing related, I was on my way home from the climbing centre, taken on my phone.

I prefer DT Swiss, 350 is comparable to the Hope I think and I haven't found a sealed cartridge bearing hub that runs as smoothly as a 240.

I subscribe to Singletrack (and Evo, but I don't think that counts here), I get it because there are some genuinely good articles and route suggestions. It doesn't seem to be too driven by marketing like MBR & MBUK feel like. I tend to scan read the gear reviews unless something catches my atten...

Field's work is beautiful, have a look for their new disc road drop outs and if you go looking through their site you should find a lovely 29er HT.
