I could never get used to the singlespeed thing. I tried it as I really like the look of the bikes and the non maintainence side but I like gears.

Now that I'm down to 2 bikes, for some reason I want another. Surly Krampus to be specific. I'm sure I'll resist for now

Thomson 90mm 0 degree stem, Good condition, I think one of the face bolts is non Thomson but it works perfectly of course. £25

Is it silver and 31.8mm clamp?

Black, but you're right on the clamp size :D

Down to 5, love it !!

Getting down to just one mtb is worrying, what if it breaks....

Lots of stuff for sales. Litespeed OBED Ti Frame – Size ML (18” and 23.5” TT), Geared dropouts only. Well used but very nice still. Could easily be polished up very nice. (currently has a Crank Bros headset in, I can remove it or leave it in either way). £350 offers RS Reba RLT 120mm forks with qr15...

Out of sheer curiosity I was wondering how many bikes people own? Up until recently I owned 5. Hardtail XC Fuss Sus Trail Road Tour Another HT XC Since I had absolutely no room to keep all these and maintaining them all seemed to be costing me money. I often had some stored elsewhere and only rode t...

Alpkit 450 mug,
BearBones 10g Burner

Fuel is out of sight, as is a Ti spork from alpkit.



I've made brews and coffee on it, I'm tempted to see what else I can make on such a small stove

heres mine from el an back

better late than never, heres a snap or two

I thought I was bad!!

The kcnc one looks like it might move about ! Could be the best of a bad bunch though and worth a pop. Ta :D

Does anyone have much experience of the BB30 system? Baiscally my shiney new frame is on its way in about a month. It has a BB30, 73mm Shell width. I have a shimano chainset, which I'd rather not change but I dont want to bodge it together. As far as I can tell bb30 adaptors are available for 68mm s...

I'm only in glossop so will definately be around to bivi out and watch this. should be good

YES, you should.

Its gorgeous out there, it might rain for a month soon which is grim. Then you'll be sorry if you dont go now whilst its so nice.

Like Ian I take a small pump

Since I started riding without a camelback I have pared down the junk I carry. The pump is small and I hope I never have to use it !

I dont have 'fat' tyres though, just ordinary 2.0 / 2.1

cheat

Quite funny that. I like that you can see the line where the green starts.

Chilly in your place eh!

1/1 for me, bivi'd in Hafren Forest in the end. Still and cold resulted in condensated sleeping bag :(

I like paper best for sure, I do however use GPS quite often when I want to move quickly. GPS only can sometimes leave you a bit reluctant to change and adapt your route based on what you find. I generally like to plot a route onto the gps which makes life easy but then if in no rush, I use the pape...

I think it suits you...

I think you may get the message that you're not alone in these thoughts. I've spent quite a while dreaming about the 'one day' I'll do it rides / races. I've also spent a great deal of time (including right now) as a mediocre cyclist. I've also spent a while struggling to find the motivation though ...

Cheers for the feedback.
I had a little play last night. Using the same alpkit 8l dry bag I can just about get it to clear but had to move my brakes up.

Not ideal

it looks better, but might still rubbage.

Very close by the looks of things.

you sure about that?

It does look higher / snugger than mine but whats happening with the brake levers there*?

*I'll google it*

Johnny, was that you guys I saw as was going into hafren then? you were hanging out map checking by the wall I was riding the black scott. Good effort trucking on well into the night mate. I had a good time all in. Found some stuff worked well, other stuff not so much. Also found several marked brid...

So, this weekend was the first time I have combined my trusty old revelate bar harness and my 29er bike. Considering the high forks inherent to 29ers, 100mm headtube, semi-integrated headset, not many spacers and a 0 degree stem I had some rubbage. Basically, as soon as the trails turned very steep ...
