Thanks, I'll give them a look

Hi All, Thinking about some carbon forks for a Troll. It's a mk1, managed to get some 27.5x2.6 wheels/tyres on it, thinking about both suspension forks (hard to find ones in 1 1/8, that'll take wheels/tyres with recommended axle to crown measurement for less than £400, or some carbon forks. On the l...

Hi All, Coming tomorrow with a couple of mates, left route planning until last minute due to being too busy, bike faff preparations have left us little time as we had problems with a newbies bike/gear setup, and being a bit poor show on IT hasn't helped!! We've cobbled together a bit of a route but ...

Steve - I'll take the seatpost pls, how do you want payment?

Re the hub, can they charge devices too or just lights? Is that a blk one, 32H? Prob a daft question but assume it can't be converted to 15mm with caps?

Thanks for info Duncan, hopefully I will know more week after next.

Hi Duncan

Are you full for this trip yet? I can't commit yet, but depending on work, may try and fit a trip in between jobs.

Will know more in next couple of weeks hopefully.

Besides flights, what are the costs?

Would be flying from Gatwick, and would need a box transfer.

Cheers

Don't let me put you off the camping! The France's route is prob much busier. We planned to camp much more but didn't always seem to get opportunity. Equally the hostels may be quieter on your route. Rasta is right, hostels aren't full of noisy people, lights out and quiet by 10. Just saying if your...

That'll be a great trip, the Genesis is perfect for the job. I considered doing it with a well known tour company a few years ago, but it's so expensive. Usually well over £100 a day for what sbe a cheap activity. Think it was nearly £3k. They allowed 17 days...and they carry your gear, but they're ...

Here you go

I know people sing the virtues and 'purity' of singlespeeds, not tried it, asking for pure pain IMO! I'll stick with gears, and lots of them.

Just emailed you

Will dig them out this pm and drop u a line

Spec says 27.5, but bigger sizes had 29 wheelset

Alex/forged alloy disc specific wheelset

Alex XD-lite double wall disc specific rims are laced to forged alloy hubs

I got a set too, brand new. Nothing flash, off a Verenti movement I stuck something else on

Eyeing this route up for this summer. Anyone done it? any good?

Great bars, a bit heavy, not had any problems with comfort due to alleged stiffness, didn't notice any difference at all tbh The loop is genuinely useful, different hand positions, more room to mount lights/GPS etc, I strap an alpkit 20l dual lock to mine using the closure buckles on roll closures a...

Been on several trips on Spanish Camino routes last three years and used a hammock, now that is comfort. Sleep better than at home! Recommended. Makes a good chair too. Have swapped tarp for a DD one so if there's nowhere to hang hammock that can be set up in a variety of ways. Hammock can also doub...

I have a Troll too, the orange model. Not ridden much and lent it out. May have to try this. I have some alpkit rumpus 27.5 with the new schwalbe smart Sam 2.6 tyres, not quite the bigger plus size which the wheels are obv intended for, but love 2.6 tyres in 29 flavour. Have nobby nics on a KM. Smar...

Hi All Anyone have any experience of this wheel size and what they ride like? Wouldn't normally consider this size, but I'm thinking of doing a cheap build of a NOS instigator 1.0 frame, have most bits laying about. Apparently it'll take a 26+ Tried a 27.5 with a 2.6, ok on fork but a bit too much f...

FFS it's done it again, keeps amending what I've written - great countryside is point I was trying to make!

That meant to read vaguely exciting bit of the country, spell check, I'm obviously still a bit out of it

Cheers for a great weekend everyone, thoroughly enjoyed myself. Was pretty fatigued/delirious from beer and the effort some of the time but had a great time, vaguely exciting bit of the country, looking fwd to exploring it more I'm keen to get back in June/July for another 3/4 days of riding, anyone...

If that's ok, and there's a gpx, could you email it me pls - richard.alborough@hotmail.co.uk
