Why BPW though, its prety full-on there, I only ride that stuff with Full Face helmet and pads? Also thats a fair old haul to the top?

What about Blue Scar at Afan or Forest of Dean Verderers Trail?

I put this one together and did it on a Gravel bike. It was via b&b's so would need tweeting a bit, we did it over 5d/4n

Rich - how much you looking for for the Chinese carbon ones? Cycling to Orkney soon and don't think I'll need the Pikes on my hardtail for Sustrans routes.... How does £60 posted sound? They've only been used a few times, found i prefer a bit of spingy stuff upfront, need to check stearer length. (...

I know you said no Chinese carbon, but if you're stuck, I've got these in the shed wanting a new home

Had similar numb feet issue on SPD's. Turned out the screws on the cleats were a touch too long, that combined with a cheap insole meant I was getting vibration directly into the foot. Solved for me with shorter screws, and a thin (but quite stiff) piece of plastic gaffer taped over the screws insid...

On a similar theme, there is an interest LiDAR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidar) view of the NYM that you can view as a transparicy against late 19thC maps: https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=1 ... s=171&b=13

Been looking for annual cover to, still checking but this one looked promising: https://www.insureandescape.co.uk/

Looks superb, won't look like after 2 mins in the Chiltern mud. Looking forward to seeing it loaded, with at least some of those braze-ons populated

You might be able to do a reverse of this, need checking out though....

For 650ml mug, I've found the Pika stove to work very well with a bit of ceramic wadding in the bottom as a wick:

You should read that fabulous blog writeup it looks to me like 52°21.023' N, 3°36.410' W

TBD, I've had some great fires and cooking with a https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOMSHOO-Camping-Wood-Stove-Portable-Folding-Lightweight-Titanium-Wood-Burn-D1D1/183834452910 , my mate Ben swears by a https://www.ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/equipment-c3/stoves-c12/titanium-hexagon-stove-p422 which is rea...

How about 1.2mm polypropylene Reg, scroll down to section on material.....

It's an AK tapered bag, 9l ish, fits perfect.
Quite like a bit of sway myself, I thinks it's going to work well. Start up a MYO thread Reg if you can find some material.

is it material or plastic /rubber -basically what is it made of? looks great but way way more than i would even consider paying Its made out of quite stiff, but flexible plastic, like a thicker version of a folded fork mounted mudguard. Could be very MYO if you could get a big enough piece of plast...

85 NZD - ouch. You ordered direct? Yes its overpriced once delivered (got copped for the import VAT too) but it does work (once an extra strap added), the seat post clamp has a sturdy Voile strap and clears the seat clamp, surprisingly stable and lets me use the full sus for bike packing. Obviously...

and dropped off a Wayward Riders Louis dropper post harness

TBD, oh man, I'd love to commit but dislocated a finger at the weekend on a trip to the Edale (rider over confidence ) and I'm not sure when I'm going to be back on the bike. I'll keep you posted, but not forgotten you chap.

Ribble look interesting https://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/ribble-c ... imano-grx/

Work xmas do on the Friday so aint going to want to travel Sat, so local Chiltern ride would be bang-on The round house was amazing but also quite happy with local woods.

I quite like using this when conditions allow (i.e. I can put it somewhere suitable for LNT)
