dynamo hub for 135mmx15mm

any one know if there is a thing ?

I've asked SON & they do not do such a thing,
Exposure & SP also appear not to.

Looks like I would need a new fork as well as a new hub/wheel, or shall I just get a new bike (that's a non starter)

Can some one cheer me up.

Re: Multifuel stoves, tell me about them

Why do you want one? They're overkill for bikepacking use unless you're doing some proper cooking as has been suggested I have ambitions beyond 2-3 day rides in the UKs sunny climbs. currently have a kraku - which is perfect for everything I have done so far. One thing I had heard in favour of the ...

Re: Multifuel stoves, tell me about them

That is 'very just' indeed!

I wonder if there are support things like you can get for gas hobs and small pots.

Multifuel stoves, tell me about them

I see a few main contenders. MSR Whisperlite Primus omnilite / omnifuel Fire maple fms f5 What are your experiences and recommendations? And will they all hold up a alpkit myti mug? The maple looks to be the bargain, only let down by limited fuel types of unleaded and white gas. As unleaded must be ...

Re: Silk Road Mtb Race

Two interesting things for me. 1. The silk rule change that only the receiver is DQd if one person helps another. 2.

Re: Silk Road Mtb Race

glad to hear you're OK Karl. water rationing and from what I've heard mighty hot at times as well. sounds very tough, looks totally vaguely exciting & I am so so jealous with what you have achieved. Lee Craigie appears to have drunk from the same pool as you. Looking forward to a beer & debr...

looks to me like she is still riding, but with the short cut she will be off the official stats so that might be why she has a cross through her name

Re: Silk Road Mtb Race

I am reliably informed that Karl is with Giacamo & they are both passed CowPat1.

Karl managed to loose his passport but it must have floated past on a flying carpet because he has found it again - He'd left it in his handbag apparently

Re: Mid Weight Waterproof Bikepacking Jackets

I've just acquired the ex gold in medium.

I'm a skinny ish 6'1" and the sleeves are about 2" too short but the large has sleeves only 1" longer so stuck with the M.

Comfort, feel appears OK after 2 short warm damp commutes.
