Is the route skinny bike friendly?
I'm a potential yes. Just need to check how much insulation I can wear/pack/carry.

^^ Holmfirth bus station, unless I'm very much mistaken.

Reckon you could build a frame with Fibrefix?

Have you made this hat yet? I'll be very disappointed if you don't do so.

Re: Is it an adventure bike....?
Also, not sure if it's the angle of the picture or something, but do the drops on that Gryphon look a bit weird? They look like flared drops (like Bearbonesnorm mentioned). They can look pretty odd when shown side on, but this is less of an issue when you're actually riding the bike. I found this b...

Re: Ergon Grips Clones
Not tried the Ergons to compare, but I've been happy with Evans's own brand ones on both my MTB and polo bikes. Single lock-on collar on the outside of the grip.

Re: Waterproof Shorts Recommendations
I've got both the Madison Zeniths and some from Polaris. The Madisons I've ridden in since the start of the year. Mainly MTB in the Peaks, and some commuting. I've utterly neglected them in terms of washing, reproofing etc. The cut is pretty good, maybe not quite high enough at the back. Breathabili...

Re: Has anyone used a sunrace 9 speed 11-40 cassette?
I'm using a 10s 11-42.
I've had it set up with an SLX Shadow+ long cage mech and SLX RF+ shifter. This has been run both with a longer B-tension screw, and with a Wolftooth Goat link. The latter set up is much better.

Re: OT inflatable kayaks
Lidl were recently selling them for £40. If you can track one down it could be an inexpensive way to try it out.

Re: DIY bar harness 'spacer' foam.
I've used 40mm plastic waste pipe. Drilled a hole through it with a 32mm hole-saw, then cut the pipe through the hole to give me two semi-circular stand-offs that fit nicely round 31.8mm diameter bars.
