27.5 only

Looking to go 29+ up front only as the rear won't take it.

Ideally a 40mm rim but could go 5mm either way.

Alternatively just the rim and I'll build it up myself.

Thanks!

I've heard/seen iphones being particularly unreliable in the cold.

My last couple of Sonys have been fine down to the minus numbers on my handlebars.

Love mine. Only thing I'd say is that the large is a bit snug, but I'm sure I'll shed my winter weight and slim down in the the springtime!

A pair of these: https://road.cc/content/review/134176-vulpine-mens-cotton-rain-trousers In the same grey. Regular length (I'm a 34" waist and 33" inside leg). Water resistant (splash proof). Has a reflective stripes inside right leg so you can roll it up and drivers will see you. Or at le...

Cheers OP!

Mediate most days, finish writing my book, smile more, worry less!

Happy NYE you lovely people!

Did the 9s mech work well with mud? I'm building up something similar and already have 10s STI's and 10s mtb mech already and an old 8/9s mech. So wondering whether to use the older mechs or fit a shift mate near the STI and take advantage of the bigger cable pull. Yes - no problem in the mud. No p...

Just found the Avid lflat bar evers for BB7 MTNs too.

I'll throw them in for an extra £5 with the brakes or £7.50 seperate.

Cheers!

I may be open to suggestions!

Message me and we can discuss

Thanks.

Thinking of selling my Ramin 3+, not 100% so I'm just testing the water. Message me if your interested or you want pics. I'd prefer pick up but I'm based in north west Surrey and get down to the New Forest regularly. Can post if you want to arrange it all. I built the bike up myself: Frame - large (...

Literally anything with kids getting badly treating. Makes me want to blub. All my charitable doings go to Unicef.

Quite fancy volunteering if I ever get out the rat race.

Edit: actually do blub a fair bit....

Here's your typical 'bike leaning against a large rusty farm object' shot. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/sTYVZ6jBUmUfqV4XmGDVWZEEwWSDJPiQUXqYJnz4WW_yIzr1XzYBFIubD5pcStzXEvS4MKIf5tMHYxWtUYgqO4Vqo0KYWdNa7tE4oFmXNQ3w9a21w3OVUoGkeGEGkQSPL7hejOnLiIRQr_CGl-5udEQZ0__my0Ov1c5ng8IMRi6r9GvHjB6sR-G-KDHR2OC...

Good luck everyone. Massive respect to everyone starting. I'm hoping to give it another crack next year when it will be 27 degs and dusty!

Just fitted one of them to a drive train that wouldn't behave on a gravel bike. Not a n/w chain ring but the chain guide was the cheaper option!

I'll order a large when the link goes up. Ta very.

Careful now.... i think they call it the mainland over there!

Yes I'm booked up for both nights. Thoroughly looking forward to spending the weekend with a bunch of other oddballs.

What u riding @gordonbennett? I'll keep and eye out for you. I'm on an orange Pinnacle 29er with Jones bars.

I use a rear crudcatcher, with the attachment arm thingy removed and then zipped tied on. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/rNqlBKuVrakOOVkG4aTjd5y1qC9ebzmKwbCE4M2int2ruMjhN5c4h-ZGD7x38KiaCFqKZPf_odRer5vCvtK_FXshTUhfmCYl-tXY8iXpkYsUpqkfAwrXRd4CuQXczElnOAlW9CwzgSM_u91cEfTi434fJpXQrXgksIsFXEV1IXb_e3DK...

Yes, bought a bunch of stuff and 20% was taken off at the checkout stage.
