Re: Stan's ZTR Crest Rims
Did some research evidently I'm not the only with major issues fitting Geax tyres ZTR rims, some stuff on Twentynineinches.com
LBS had Crossmarks in stock, so the bike should be quick, but lethal in anything wet and rooted :?

Stan's ZTR Crest Rims
Well it seems Geax tyres and Stan's rims are a bit of a dog to fit together. Anybody running these rims, if so with what tyres?

Re: Highlands
Seriously, it was fun! It was the most fun, I'd had in years, I mean the episode with the gull is still making me chuckle. The midges are forever Type 3.
The thing I'll take away from the WHW, were the people and their friendliness.

Re: Highlands
If I went back I would pre book pods, and cycle between them, you could make the trip much better. It would cost a little more but a lighter bike would be faster and easier to carry. As for shelter, I have spoken to a supplier stateside, and they are currently constructing a shelter to my design and...

Re: Highlands
Speed! It's a climb-a-bike for hours! I was so knackered I could barely lift the bike towards the end! Suggest if you want to bike pack for days out there, lift a lot as training, the ladder onto the bridge was a sickening moment! I had a hikers hut in Tyndrum, turned the heating on a shook for two ...

Re: Highlands
I'll be back, but would never take a loaded bike through the Loch Lomond section ever again! It's just so soul destroying, a 12 step ladder up to a bridge with a 50lb+ bike, and backpack :o The gates are insane 'kissing' gates that are 10ft high! 5 step stiles?? https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Uv...

Re: Highlands
Bailed, I awoke on Saturday morning and set off in high wind and rain, it just got worse and I was freezing! Got home late last night. Covered in midge bites, I look like a really good dose of measles. The midges sent me mad, words cannot describe how depressing a tent filled with midges really is. ...

Re: Highlands
1993 Scapa is a fine drink! Trying to decide which way to go? The terrain has ripped the studs out of my bike shoes, and the ratchet is dead! Looking at the positives the cold and wind has finally made it midge free :) Also think 'Tablet' may be one of the finest energy foods I've ever had!

Re: Highlands
NE Loch Lomond is unrideable hell, over 300 midge bikes, they got through the weave of xbionic! Trails are unrideable, push up and push down! Had 8 hours sleep in 3 days!

Great trail, Conic Hill was a slog! Camped on shore of Loch Lomond and the midges are hellish! Anyone thinking of doing the WHW buy a head net!
