A tough week, my brain and energy levels were not in a great place, my diet apart from a few bad days was much improved.

Re: Fat Fighters '24. The year for deflation!
Apologies for the late start here, not had the easiest of starts to the year, just started with a personal trainer who specializes in helping people with TBI's and similar recover, think I might actually do well this time.

Re: A wee whisky appreciation thread.
I have been becoming a real fan of Old Poultney, distilled in the village my father in law was from, wish I could enjoy a dram or two, sadly while I am on my meds I cannot drink, almost willing to risk a seizure for a dram lol

Re: Happy New Year, and plans for 2024
Sorry to read that Loki. Could you get out on foot with bivi kit? I've been thinking of doing a hiker bivi recently, should have added it to the list here.

Re: What was the problem with 29+
I think the consensus settled on wide trail or 2.4 / 2.6" tyres provided similar levels of float but without the downsides of a 2.9 to 3.0 tyre, as there was a decline in use tyre manufacture's reduced their range and in some cases stopped making the larger tyre, the same happened with many fat...

Re: Pls keep an eye on your carbon forks/frames/bars!
my favourite thing to see when I was working as a mechanic was the effects of running your headset loose on a fork with a carbon steerer or the occasion when internal cables wore through the frame walls, then again I have also seen internal cables wear through a Campag crank axle being cut in two by...

Re: Which freeze dry meals would you recommend?
I have used expedition foods in the past, not too bad, I recall that Torq ventured into the meals market while at a race a few years back, they recently updated their range too I think.
