Re: Anyone local to these areas able to review (sections of) my route pls?
Rode it yesterday. Well 100 mikes of it and another lad has done well over 170 miles I reckon. Brilliant route, so thanks so much for your advice everyone. I never once thought I was in too much fast traffic that couldn't be negotiated. Also, pity the panoramic walk/view only came onceall light had ...

Re: Being the DNF on my charity bike ride challenge
Anyway, so the route had been some time in the making. After putting a request on here asking if someone could look over my route so I did'nt need to go and ride it in person, a few obvious errors were brought to attention straight away. Finally a route was finalised in OS maps with the View ranger ...

Being the DNF on my charity bike ride challenge
Thought I'd just document my thoughts after having got help from the forum with making my 2024 edition of the Khalid Bin Waleed Challenge. Dewsbury, Huddersfield, Manchester, Wrexham and back round after some more Welsh climbs via Coed Y Glyn and Bridgenorth. Report below, bear with!! Excellent exce...

Re: Brakes; mechanical or hydraulic?
I used to love my bb7. But after using hydro for years (mainly Avid in them days, but now Shimano) I once tried to go back to them. Best way I can desribe it was when going back to v brakes from the BB7
I'd definitely go hydro despite having had problems of squeal on various iterations of the SLX.

Re: Wildlife
There was a massive thud on the the window/door to the garden this morning. Usually these thuds are birds trying to fly through the house. This morning though it was a hare! There was a pair of them, male chasing the female, running round the garden for about ten minutes. They were about two metres...

Re: What you done t' your bike today
Oh dear. Ialways assumed bamboo was ultralite but just as strong (as carbon). Maybe it's the amount of wrapping needed or the bits of metal. Interesting stuff

That's the code but in anithe language. Apparently you call em on 0808 238 0000 and they send you a secret link to pay for that item number. Hope you get sorted.

Sonder. Yes, Andy they're a good brand (just don't get the strongest carbon version) and affordable/quality (somewhat) too.
Hopefully he'll find a nice gravel bike that he can then enter the Bearbones rides

Re: New bike, thoughts!
From what I gathered and speaking to him, it's mainly a road bike it seems. Replacing his other road bike which is 8 speed Sora or something. Hence I'm trying to encourage him to get gravel friendly as there is a few options of excursions around where he is riding.
Thanks Simon and everyone else.

Hi Andy and welcome to the best bikepacking/cycling forum, well, in the world. Soon you'll be getting your first Revelate Design!! Doesn't have to be 1 x 11. 2 x 11 will be just as good and maybe cheaper. Ultegra is the next step up from 105, andy and grx is probably the gravel bike equivalent (whic...

Re: FS Indy Fab Crown Jewel frame 54cm
Thanks you lot. To be honest I think I screwed up aftwr explaining that I'd put a couple Palestine flags, before the current genocide, on 2 parts of the frame. It got translated as, 'so you screwed up the paintwork'. Along with that I mentioned that half the money was going to charity and the buyer ...
