Creaky seatpost on today’s ride so stripped, cleaned and regreased all the bits.

Surprised me when i pulled the seatpost out the frame. I thought it was well lubed, but it had dried out

Test ride tomorrow

oh ....
And other than that I swapped my sus forks out on the hard tail and put my carbon forks in
Just fancy a change as I have the bouncer now and wanted to have rigid for a bit of variety

Blimey, GRX hasn't been out for that long and you've already got it rusty and worn :-bd 🤣 Mostly that's just the colour of the dust from the last long ride I did into The Brecks. That chain had done 5,314.3 km, so I'm still slightly surprised I didn't have to replace the cassette... Thats some good...

Mine failed the state way Steve
I’ve got a Apidura Race on now (just a flap)
Liking it a lot

Tonto - I’ve PM’d you

first priority i think is to try the width of the C15
then i can think more about carved/solid

Anyone got a Cambium C15 they could lend me to try out? Either carved or solid doesn’t matter
I’m using a C17 at the moment and wondered if slightly narrower would suit better

The Son 28 comes in Boost but from what i remember it’s 15mm axle
Not cheap either

I don't wear glasses very often when riding but have found Bolle safety glasses (and even their mini goggles) to be top notch. Not as cheap as John's tat* but I've only got 2 eyes :wink: *I'm sure they're very nice but I haven't taken the piss out of anything for 27 minutes. https://www.amazon.co.u...

Im also a screwfix safety specs user. I use some DeWalt Indoor/Ourdoor ones
OK so there just over a fiver, but the lenses are great for anything between dark shadows between trees to full sunlight

I struggle with very dark lenses going from full brightness into shadow but these are pretty good

Never ever a failure though Colin. Good work from you and everyone else. :-bd Strange you should put it that way. "Fear of Failure" has prevented me from participating in a few things. A lesson from this has been that it's OK to try and to fail. Better that than just not trying. Absolutely - at the...

I’ve got wide feet also, check out

- Pearl Izumi X-Alps (last pair i had - grippy soles)
- Replaced with Scott Cruz-r (i went for Boa instead of laces) Very Comfy

I work as a lead engineer in NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) for a fairly well known car manufacturer, I'm really tempted to take an objective measure of carbon versus ally handle bars for curiositys sake. Vibration comfort is basically my day job! Any particular bars people are interested in?...

You’ve not got worms have you?

Hi Sean, I’m always on the look out for designs that will work. More often it’s the simple ones that work the best I draw freehand in pencil on the stone then yes i use a dremel over several sessions Can take a long time depending on the hardness and consistency of the stone Just takes a bit of pati...

I’ve had some time for my stone carving. I’m trying to take traditional designs
Started with some Celtic knots

I’ve had a couple over the years from KAPZ
They have been great

Sold

Price drop to £20

Just looked it up : Airlock diameter is 18cm
so slightly less than what I have

Might just have to make do with what I have

I’m using either a 10L or 13L at the moment
both drybags have the same diameter.

i would just go bigger and roll the top down more, but that just adds unnecessary weight
The ortlieb bags are made of pretty heavy dutyfabric, but guaranteed waterproof which i need as it’s for my sleep stuff

OK not the most exciting of subjects but bear with me Currently using Ortlieb drybags that have a Diameter of 19cm (yes i’m bored and have measured it) Good strong waterproof material Looking for a drybag as equally waterproof BUT with a larger diameter. Googling not yielding much info. What should ...
