I'd thought of that but it wouldn't quite work. It's to join two already looped & stitched pieces of webbing, replacing a broken swivelly snap hook on a laptop rucksack strap. It's the kind of thing I could bodge with a zip tie, but those clips look like a more elegant solution and would get the...

Not strictly a 'Wanted' but thought it might be better in here than the classifieds I'm trying to get a hold of something like one of Gossamer Gear's replacement U-clips: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1300/6549/products/Clip_1024x1024.jpg But I can't find them in the UK, can't find an equivalent...

I just use windproof ones - Montane Featherlites - to keep the chill off. Surprisingly effective. I have a set of Kamleikas as well, but the Featherlites get used more often. Also have the Endura Superlight waterproof shorts, but have to wear them with braces otherwise I get a builder's ass and a cr...

Not sure that's my best side, but it'll do.

In fact, just checking the phone pics I took while sitting.

Assuming this was you?

Ah yeah, good to meet you too. Whitestone, I think I cheered you in, was sat on the grass with a beer just before the turn into the castle.

I rode the 130 in my BBBP jersey, saw one other out there and got a "Bear Bones!" shout from someone who wasn't in one. 'Fess up, who were you?!

I know Eoin Keith who was racing this year. Broke his shoulder but completed two laps anyway. He's a hard man, former Spine Race winner amongst a lot of other accomplishments. It's not known as "The race that eats it's young" for nothing...

If you head for Dumfries, you've more than just that lot you've listed. Mabie, Dalbeattie, Kirroughtree and Forest of Ae are all easily accessible 7 Stanes centres from there, Newcastleton and Kielder aren't a million miles away, and closer to home Drumlanrig has some good trails as well. The Lakes ...

I'm clocking off early to go kayaking for the weekend, only my third weekend of not working on events since May. Driving to Hexham for Chinese and beers tonight; paddling the Tyne followed by more beers and a ceilidh tomorrow, paddling the Tees and driving home Sunday.

On-One have got Podsacs bar rolls for £13 and 12 or 16 litre seatpacks for £21 each in one of their multivarious sales. Not tried them, but spotted them while browsing earlier.

Four from The Heb adventure race, all bike related, three from an superb Saturday and one from a soggy Sunday. Watermarked up as they're promo shots for the race, so it seems only right! https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4367/37241933135_d6bbaa412a_c.jpg Beach ride by P.Y. Photographic , on Flickr http...

I bought a couple of Support Cells a while back, the bracket and strap sit on the back of a helmet pretty well, so you shouldn't just have to velcro through a vent. Mine have either gone on the back of my helmet to hook to a Joystick or strapped round my stem to clip into an Equinox on the bars.

Ballymastocker Strand in Donegal last weekend. Watermarked as I was out there working for SleepMonsters on The Beast adventure race.

The north west area - South Manchester, Cheshire, Liverpool, North Wales, Welsh Border s Chester is 153 miles from Scotland so therefore not in the northwest or even the North for that matter. Unless there's been a recent annexation of Cumbria, Lancashire and Merseyside. Others have said it, but ag...

I think it needs a 'too long ago to remember' option...

OP after all this prevarication I think you'd be mad not to buy that Gryphon. You won't find anything near that quality for the price. The qualms you're raising about bar angles etc are nonsense tbh - you'd be tuned into the riding position within half an hour. Seconded. If I didn't already have my...

I found that decent cable housings did make a minor-but-noticeable difference, both on the BB7s I used to run and on the current set of Spyres. I've tended to grab Goodridge compressionless outer from CRC, not that much more expensive than anything else when you're buying by the metre.

Oooooooh, well now. That's interesting... Question is, will I / the bike fit? Plus I'd have to sort the gearing out. Don't think 8 speed would really cover the range I'm after. I don't know about fit, I've never met you or the seller. It's a medium, which tends to fit 70-percent of people! 8-speed ...

Ootini - have you seen this? : http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/fs-singular-gryphon-4 For sale is my Medium Singular Gryphon. One of only two built as a prototype for Sam and I'm lead to believe it's made from 853. Maybe Sam could confirm? Built up as an 8 speed at the moment but I can throw ...

Well - I got them off Singletrack classified a couple of years ago for a project that never happened. They've been sat on the shelf unused since then. Why - do you recognise them ? :-) Yeah, I think they used to be mine! The nick on the back of the crank is very familiar, would likely have been me ...

Might sound like a weird question PJG, but where did you get the cranks?

It's cheesy and cliched, but a 'vintage' style shot of a vintage-style camera https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/fr/cp0/e15/q65/20414337_10159037512705511_1605952880777961324_o.jpg?efg=eyJpIjoidCJ9&oh=fc3e9b3529a7fa933be68489de0c9f6a&oe=59FB4336 Today's the 100th birthday of Niko...
