I enjoyed that - excellent - interesting seeing how totally knackered Jay looked just at CP1.

do I mean lighter ? I think I probably do mean lighter. I certainly appreciate the less wait of the travers over the krampus. But then I also know that the krampus is faster over most terrains. current hub sizes My krampus is QR front & rear. My travers is an oddball. it's a QR rear & the f...

That richey looks very nice.

To my untrained eye it appears very similar to the solaris so ticks a lot of the same boxes.

Just price John.

So this may all come to nowt but I can dream can't I. I currently ride and bike pack on both a green krampus and a 4" ti Travers fatty. Both tubeless, rigid and 1x. The Travers has carbon rims. I'd keep the Travers but thinking of a different faster multi day bike with current hub sizes. I love...

if you get a dropper - then fit something like a rear mudhugger - otherwise you will be binning it in 6 months time

That's me out then.

I didn't think a 100 could be converted to 135.

I actually need 135/15 for a Travers prong

I keep missing out on bb for sale items.

So instead of haggling I'll take this please.

are these good for someone 6'1" , 185cm tall ?

£100 ?

this is probably it

Scorpion vs spider, saying you don't feel bad! Does that mean the spider wins?

That is indeed bad news, chronicles and chucas were the two go to tyres.

Cheers all.

I'd heard good things about the scrspers. Less so for the Stans.

Looks like scrspers are good for tubeless too.
As much as I like the idea of carbon I think it'll be them, eastons or Stans. Off to price some up.

So not wanting to disrupt the carbon specific thread.

What are the go to 29er plus rims people recommend (whatever material)?

This would most likely be to fit to a Ti fat bike.

car ! - well I could take the 110 but think the fatty will be more fun.

cheers both.

Will try & take car !

Never ridden up Skiddaw so looking forward to it - views permitting !
Weather wise - it is looking like shorts & t-shirt weather

When going up to Skiddaw House from keswick there are two bridleways, east & west of Glenderatera Beck. Is one better for up & one better for down ? I am planning going up at the weekend to Skiddaw House & the up the the summit & may be some other meanderings (hopefully), wither Ullo...

Pm sent

I definitely prefer routes with limited way points, but I'm in the minority.

Most people appear to prefer the breadcrumb track approach.

just read the 'first look' post from Nov 17.
