Interested, but wary of stanchion wear on old forks. How much have these been ridden?

Any chance of closer-up photos showing the stanchions near the wiper seals, front and back? Or, ideally, of the stanchions with the lowers pulled down 50 mm

Ah, I forgot to say that my front wheel is thru-axle. (15x100)

Anyone have rigid forks that will fit a Karate Monkey that they want to shift?

Looking to get a bit more carrying capacity!

Cheers

Hey - interested in the rack and panniers, will send you a pm

Hi - I'm interested as well, have sent you an email for pics

Cheers

A modern phone is a very capable GPS,in fact I sold my garmin and use my iPhone as it's better. Get a dynamo hub and a battery, it will almost keep up with power needs on its own. I don't take any duplicate items apart from changing leads as they fail without any warning. wow! are you never paranoi...

found this, https://www.outdooractive.com/en/mountain-bike/bosnia-and-herzegovina/via-dinarica-mtb/21568235/#dm=1 maybe a good source for more info: http://www.viadinarica.com/ Yeah, from reading through a lot of that, it seems the white trail is a hiking trail, but there should be a route called V...

Oh so what I have is a gpx of the Via Dinarica white trail, which is apparently a 690 mile hiking route. I can't find any information about whether bikes are allowed on the trails or not though.

I managed to find a gpx for the route when I started looking into it a while ago. I don't know anything about the quality of the route though. PM me if you want it.

Have PM'd you for pics/details

Interested if still available - have sent pm

About 200,000 feet in total, which my shonky maths says is 740 feet (225 metres) per 100 miles.

That seems like remarkably little elevation, doesn't it?

Thanks for the tip!

Was about to order an Exped HyperLite, but I thought I'd check if any of you have something similar knocking about which you want to get rid of.

I am 5'11" so looking for a medium size in most brands

More when I'm asleep. I'm constantly on edge for noise. Have never got more than a few hours sleep outdoors. I had this last summer in the america for the first week, couldn't sleep at all for fear of bears (only black bears around, no food in tent, 0 risk). The way I got over it was to sit there a...

Alpkit framebag recieved, just as described, fits perfectly. Thanks!

On my way home I planned to make a topic asking this exact question, I load the page and there it is at the top of the forum. Strange. Really interested to hear more opinions on this!

PM sent re: Stingray frame bag

I've handed in my notice at work, so I will now officially be available to do the Tour Divide. Slightly worried that I don't have a job to come back to, but hope to have that sorted before I fly off to N. America in 4 weeks time! Next problem is that the bike I'm planning to ride has a knackered sq...

Can I take the larger frame bag please, and while I'm at it, the top tube bag also.

I'm not coming to WRT, so could you please post, PM to follow

Thanks

I was planning on a full bag, since the traingle in this bike is pretty small anyway due to a sloping top tube. If it's a small triangle, I wouldn't use a divider. In fact, I can generally fit more in a Wildcat Ocelot than I can in a full frame bag on the same bike ... and still use a bottle. Why d...

Full frame bag or partial? That will make a big difference. I have a partial frame bag that Beth made for me which is 65mm wide, and am just having another half abg made (for a different bike) which is 95mm wide - still only bout the same width as a bottle cage. For a full frame bag I'd personally ...

I'm in the business of getting an Alpkit custom framebag for my bike (Surly Karate Monkey Ops) but I'm unsure about what width to go for. Perhaps its a bit of a subjective thing to ask, but does anyone have any advice on the matter. If not which size to go for, then how to choose which size to go fo...

Tent (MSR Hubba HP) arrived just in time for the weekend, will be camping out in Shrewsbury before and after the Yr Elenydd @ 30 audax this weekend! Currently pitched in the living room thanks to it's freestanding nature! It's a good tent, I just went out with mine with the fly only (+ footprint) f...
