I got keep pedalling to build me my dynamo wheel with this premise. I use a SP PD 8X hub ( http://www.sp-dynamo.com/8Xseriesdynamo%20hub.html ), had it laced up to a crest and Its been great. At the moment I use it all of the time with the supplied axle adapter, its been fine with no difference. [Yo...

I parked up at the Offas dyke visitor centre fine a year or so back.

As Scattamah says, the Bothy would be my choice to aim for, as bothies go, it's alright

Drew

Couple of antiseptic wipes, 2-3 plasters, strip of butterfly stitches, couple of ibuprofen, safety pin. Sun and bug spray in the summer, occasionally bite relief cream too. Anything needed more than a plaster would get bodged from spare clothes, gorilla tape and zip ties. Tiny pliers with tools hav...

Cheers for that Stuart,

Seems a good price to be fair.... must now resist the urge!

thanks

Drew

Looks good with the extra volume and no noticeable change in 'size' of the tyre.

What wheel set are you using there out of interest Stuart, this 650b thing does interest me as a way to get more volume without losing clearance below my saddle

Thanks
Drew

No worries, glad I could help out!

Tidy bit of work that, love the bar end housing too, reckon that will make it good and robust long term.

Soldering is defo a skill! Dead easy to overlook it, I got impatient and cooked a switch whilst doing mine!

I run these, good tyres and they were still that price a day or so ago.

Drew

It's legit, I bought my quilt from them, no bother, better service than some places over here!

Drew

Short sleeve jersey and a gilet would be good additions

Right oh, after a brief foray to the shed, They defy have a straight steerer (1 1/8) and they are Rockshox Recon Silver. The steerer has been cut to 195mm and has the star fangled nut in situ. They are black with red decals. But.... I think they are 120mm travel... not 140 mm travel. They are in pre...

I might have a set at home in the shed, RockShox Spring ones I think, came on my Scandel originally. Can't for the life of me remember what model they are but I will check and let you know.

They have 195mm of steerer I recall.

I'll check when I get home

What do you mean to look 'underneath' the RoW? Visits to view the LoS and other records? Just interested thats all. Thanks Nathan Naffa, I think Drew means that often an OS will show a BW as a green dash ... this may or may not exist on the ground. If the OS shows the green dash overlaid on small b...

In terms of OS maps and any right of way, I learnt a long time ago, by experience and advice fro others, to always look what was underneath the right of way. This applies to footpaths and bridal ways. The other aspect though, is actually, for many, the exploration of new tracks and trails is all par...

I just rub my legs clean as best I can then either put on some thermals or use a liner in the bag.

Seems to work ok

Not got either, but as the ocelot is a wildcat piece of gear, and I've got several of their kit and its ace!

Hi there, I went through this a little while back.

I went with a Stans Crest in the end and Shona and Rich over at Keep pedalling laced it Alice together for me, excellent job!

I used silicon grips on the grips first and wrapped the rest of the loops with gel tape, I also included a couple of gel inserts underneath the tape at strategic locations. However, I found that I would get a numb little finger, so I have switched back to Ergon grips, seems to have sorted it out for...

Just spotted these too

Ventile is great, I used it quite abit when I worked in the outdoors in the woods etc with a nice open fire, still got a very nice jacket made by a company called West Winds, great company if you go down that route. The benefits are its breathable and very weatherproof, but effectively works but the...

Hi all, bit off topic, but sorting out some stuff before christmas. Any interest in the great condition nature trekker AW II at £50 plus postage (~£8 I reckon) https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5746/23343653436_d87e29766a_z.jpg IMG_0338 by drew Whitley , on Flickr https://farm1.staticflickr.com/619/233...

Something like this inside the padded cell may add the impact/water protection plus some thermal insulation to boot
