Re: Similar but cheaper (rear rack content)

Thanks for those suggestions. Maybe the idea of three mounts on the rear isn’t as good as I’m thinking it to be Is it not more metal bits to break Simon? I'm not getting stuff like that - looks a right faff to unstrap those bags - I'd just use a set of Ortleib front panniers on a normal rack That’s...

Re: Bargain Alert Thread

Interesting bar from Cannondale Interesting because the crossbar stiffens it makes it less comfy while also being too thin for mounting things to? : ) I suppose it'd be useful for stabilising a bar bag strap. And £15 is a good price. Interesting because I wasn’t sure what style to call it :lol:

Re: Older school gravel cx options?

Kinesis used to do a couple, forgot their names though :o a few friends had them, seemed quite nice

My memory is hazy but Cannondale may need the wheels redishing to sit correctly, so maybe a brand to avoid?

Edit might have been Kinesis Crosslight?

Currently reading Columbia Es Pasion by Matt Rendell, the story of Colombian pro cyclists with a bit of a history of that country too. An interesting read, but I feel there's quite a lot of unnecessary detail (here are the names and ages of the siblings of a rider that didn't quite make it as a pro...

Re: Bike Abuse, Am I bad?

No harm done!

I thought the same when I pulled out my summer bike shoes today to wear and they were covered in mud :oops: Would have be been to have cleaned them at some point in the last three months or so
