Somer 650B+ wheels then
I think my Big Bro would benefit from some 650B+ wheels and tyres .... Ive a set for my OO Fatty and they are easily the best riding size of the 3 wheelsets I have for it. - 29x2.4 Contis and 26x3.8 Nates which I put back on a few weeks ago for winter mud shits n gigs. I don't mind building them mys...

Re: Bivvy a Month 2021
BAM 2021 is a goer. Per posts on the VWE threads, January was the VWE in my garden with a nice little fire. The photo was a late afternoon test firing of my fire anchor which went quite well. I suspect it's going to feature in a lot of my bivvy nights this year. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5...

LOL. Mate my arse has an almost walrus quality to it these days. A thick layer of subcutaneous fat to insulate me a'gin the cold. I'll get a hood though. They actually do a sun screen thingy that could clearly be adapted for the chill.

Re: XS bikes for 5ft women riders
Because lock down or not, wrapping something big and cumbersome, and then schlepping it to your courier point, or having to hang around for a courier collection which NEVER happens on time, is a total bumache.

Still managed to have some fun camping in the garden :grin: I think it was bit milder in East Anglia than the rest of the country.

Twas slow going on the way home. I took a detour past one of my GRs on the way and wil make a point of ch...

My JVWE buddy was a lot kinder than those above though, to be honest, I didn't give him a lot room to manoeuvre with a very limited zone of travel. I've finally put the finishing touches on the route and it's just a 35 mile loop with not a lot of climbing. It took ages as round mine in South Bucks t...
