Re: non tubeless to tubeless........ help
I think it also depends on your rims, some will be possible to set up tubeless and some less so. I set up some WTB trail 29 rims that were not "tubeless ready". The main issue was that the rim bed was too deep, so when the tyre was installed but not inflated it wasn't tight enough to hold ...

Re: wtd, 10 speed thumbshifters or a rapidfire pod.
I have a pair of Microshift 10 speed MTB bar end shifters in my box of bits. You could buy the thumbies attachment for them if they're going on flat bars. https://www.swinnertoncycles.co.uk/microshift-shifter-spares-thumbshifter-spares-p132660/s383845?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_ter...

Re: CyB and Nant Yr Arian closing ...
As someone that works for NRW (but fortunately isn't up for redundancy as many are) the general idea is that anything that isnt a statutory responsibility or doesn't pay for itself is being cut. Sounds like the visitor centres have been making a loss so I'm not surprised that they're going. In my op...

Re: Schnozzle to Thermarest Winglock adaptor
I may have found a solution! It seems that the Thermarest pump sack valve can connect the Exped schnozzle to the Thermarest Winglock valve on the mat. I happened to have two Thermarest pump sacks because my first Thermarest was faulty and they sent me a new one, so I've chopped out the pump sack val...

Schnozzle to Thermarest Winglock adaptor
Hi All, Gave up on my Exped mat because of the baffles going and making it un-usable and got a Thermarest NeoAir instead. The pump bag supplied with the Thermarest isn't nearly as good as the Schnozzle, it's thicker material, not a roll-top bag and smaller volume so feel like it takes more scoops to...

Re: Brakes; mechanical or hydraulic?
Has anyone tried both i.e those Juin tech brakes that have a cable actuated hydraulic caliper? My (drop bar) TRP's are getting a bit dicky and new ones cost a fortune so I was thinking of giving the Juin techs a whirl. I have the Juintech GTPs on one of my bikes, they work really well, not quite fu...

Re: WTD : MTB cranks or chain set for pub bike
I have some FSA omega 1 x cranks with a 40t NW ring attached and a bottom bracket, if that's the sort of chainring size you're after they could work, if not then I think it may not be worth finding a smaller ring. Let me know if they'd be any use to you.

Re: So this is who lights fires ...
Made me laugh a lot that one!
Lighting a fire is one thing but leaving it unattended when it's not cold and wet is another.

Wtd Jones 135 unicrown fork
I'm looking for a Jones unicrown fork with the 135mm spacing so I can swap out my truss fork and give myself some space for a dog basket up front. Ideally need about 250mm of steerer.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Dynamo lights
You can buy a K-lite switch but if you get a soldering iron and some bits of cable and xt-30 or xt-60 connectors you can easily make your own switch that has a cable to the rear light as well, so you don't need to use the K-lite blinker. If I get a xt30 connector, e.g., https://www.amazon.co.uk/FLY...

Re: Dynamo lights
Also means you can get it just the right length. Using some adhesive lined heatshrink will keep things neat, strong and waterproof and with some Sugru you can mount the cable to a handlebar or the top of your forks.I like this idea, I'll need to check it out.
