Re: Potential Emergency Carbon Fork Needed
I’ve got an old salsa carbon fork that came with a frame I bought. Would need to check if boost, is that of any interest?

Re: New (carbon?) wheels
Also consider blue flow wheels (Nottingham based). They build with hope if that’s what you’re after.
I quite liked their warranty when I was looking. In the end I’ve gone to DT Swiss rims and hubs, built by the Keep pedalling.
They’ve done all my current wheels and have been most excellent

Re: Ultrasonic Cleaner Suggestions
Found this thread by chance as looking for an ultrasonic cleaner (with a heater)
Advice needed ….
What size do people use? I’ve seen 2.5-3lt ones on Amazon, but unsure about size. (And dimensions of the container.
Width v depth etc
Any recommendations on Brands I should be looking at?

Re: Hot 1: hat 0 - what lightweight oven mitt?
I did my handles with red heat shrink - works very nicely
Edit…. Noticed the burn at the bottom. Make flame smaller and doesn’t happen.
Tricky with with meths burner I know (I use gas so usually set flame to no larger than mug diameter)

Saddle design
Had to do a double take, when I saw one of these go past me when walking. Looks weird, but somehow intrigued at to whether they are any good.
Anyone use one?

Re: How much grief can I expect?
My mate has had one for years, issues so far
- drive shafts wear due to no grease from factory. Replaced and greased on rebuild. No further issues
- every 3years new EGR
Think thats about it, otherwise pretty hassle free for him

Re: Find yourself a Fogou.
Kipped in the shelterstone in the Cairngorms a few times. Always felt claustraphobic when inside.
Summer was ok, winter was sheltered but it was more like a freezer than a cosy bothy.
After that I always made the extra effort to get in and out in one day from the Hutchison or Corrie Cas

I’m a bit like you (with a few bikes)

I enjoy all 3 and love the variety

Re: Anyone use a foam mat instead of a air one
I used to when climbing/walking prettyindestructable, but it’s the bulk that puts me off on the bike.
I do have a bit of Karrimat cut to the righ5 size for a rucksac, for use as back padding/sit mat
