Yeah unfortunately these are USA only. I had to get them from there for a custom frame I had built up.

Re: Moors Eighty Five and a Bit 2022
Sorry to hear it was a headache last year Si.....
It defo wasn't for us taking part... Loved it.
Some of the Hamsterley Trailblazers lads will be interested again if and when the invites get sent out and I can't miss out on being the last one out on course again.
Count us in if there's space

Re: Troubleshooting (Rohloff) help needed
You haven't got carried away with the chain tension when you reassembled did you? This could cause the roughness.
The lower gearing thing is a mystery. I can't think its the rohloff. Perhaps you, overnight, became super fit as if by magic?

Re: S*dding bearings
It's fulcrum... From my experience they'll have probably got a batch of mislabeled bearings on the cheap from a supplier... Though I do find the mis-numbered seals a bit weird as that numbered seal doesn't fit between the two races, it's too big!
They have form

Re: S*dding bearings
I learnt this one the hard way at work....
My new rule.
Measuring bearing then order off size. Not the code on the seal

Wales - Mach Loop - Watch and ride
Just an idea for next year but would anyone have ideas for a route I could do that would at some point put me at the prime viewing spot for the RAF's low level flying here:
Mach Loop
A487, Dolgellau LL40 2SH
https://maps.app.goo.gl/Bs2seYybobDqKYnw7
I'm thinking I'll be spoilt for choice will I?

I've not had any bother this year just squashing the cables behind my harness and dry bag... Looked dodgy at first but shifting hasn't been affected in the slightest... Have you over engineered a solution, with the noodles and that, to a problem that you thought existed or did you have shifting prob...

I use these https://togs.com/collections/togs-1/pro ... n-mtb-togs
Work perfectly on the rigid for a different hand position. Use them all the time when riding that bike.
Got them from here https://www.comriecroftbikes.co.uk/shop ... ccessories

Re: Minimal rear rack like this
A rack will not solve clearance issues you may have. It just invites you to take more gear :wink: Clearance isn't the problem for me. I'm a bigun so when the saddles dropped it doesn't hit anything It's the swaying and momentum behind the swaying that doesn't seem dropper friendly... i.e. wearing o...

Minimal rear rack like this
Just seen this minimal rear rack and it got me thinking of ditching the seat pack for a more dropper friendly setup... Is anything else like this available as this is a bit spendy.

Re: SOLD!! Thorn Sterling (Rohloff) + extra forks & more!
Brilliant news, remind him to update the Rohloff registration, so many people forget :) Why is the transfer necessary out of interest. I bought a second hand rohloff, filled in the form then never really heard anything back/ forgot about it until now. It can't be for warranty as this is void as now...
