Re: Anyone tried a Supernova E3 Triple 2?

Have the Triple MkI. It's a strong light, but needs some speed to truly shine. Give the Son Edelux II a consideration, it has a nice strong, wide beam starting from just above walking speed. My girlfriend has one and I'm envious - considering getting one for myself. It's also cheaper.

Re: On-One OG bars?

My Lady has them on her 29er Pugs, didn't have much time to try them out but soon she will - going riding in the Balkans for 3 weeks.

They seem like really nice bars and Lady says she prefers them to the Titec H-bars that were fitted prior OG.

Re: Stu's Stooge review part one, what a tease.

Well written, informative and entertaining. Thanks for sharing.

Any idea how it would compare to a 29erd Krampus?

I was concerned about these little buggers too, but have found that small holes are not a problem unless you're after "full immersion waterproofness"

Take your time, drink a bear, do it outside or in a (very) well ventilated room - white spirit is strong stuff ;) For my double rainbow I used GE silicone which is thicker than SilNet. Pitch as you would do normally for camping. Use a paint brush approx the size of your seams and apply 2-3 layers. F...

Re: Newport to St Davids off-road(ish)?

You can definitely catch some nice riding between Pontypridd and Neath - mostly gravel but there's a mtb park with single tracks somewhere in the area if i'm not mistaken. Then you could try connecting bits and pieces of the coastal trail between Milford Haven and St. Davids, Some of it is bike frie...

Sus fork for Krampus

I'm trying to find a suitable suspension fork for a Krampus frame. It's for regular 29er tyres, not 29+ so clearance is not a big issue - though increased clearance would be nice for future DirtWizzard on narrower rims (ZTR Flow, Blunt35, Dualy?). I'm after a non tapered steerer, 15mm QR, possibly 1...

Stu, if you run out of options give me a shout. I'm in PL now, maybe I can help somehow.

Cumulus have been really great to deal with, every time I bought something for them it had to be custom made. Maybe if you explain your situation they can arrange something.

I've decided to build up a second Pugs for the Missus and transfer all the appropriate bits from my moonlander. Here's what's left. Only did 50ish miles on it, so all is in good condition. All prices ONO, include p&p, except for the frameset - I'd prefer local pickup in Milford Haven, but probab...
