I'm interested in the coffee grinder. Would you take 75 quid?

Hi, got these Alpkit bags for sale. Old design medium Fuel Pod (webbing instead of stitched Velcro), like new - £15 Roo Pouch. Bought out of seconds bin to cut up. It looks like it's been made upside down (zipper runs across wider part of bag), unused - £20 https://i.ibb.co/HpwPwSK/IMG-20221203-1459...

Will do, fella. I'll sort through my stuff tomorrow

Hi, selling a few bits I picked up at a Snow Peak camping event over the summer (all brand new). Snow Peak 450ml Titanium mug - £15ea https://i.ibb.co/Ky91Xx4/Snow-Peak-Single-Wall-450-Mug-Titanium03-1024x1024-2-1080x.jpg Snow Peak Sporks (1 of each colour) - £7ea https://i.ibb.co/gy08fpS/snowpeakti...

I've been pondering about these for a while. Are they sturdy? I had Apidura bags for JR last year, the rear broke in the car park and the frame bag broke when I went to the Peak. I'm not sure what parts of your Apidura bags broke, but I can't imagine this would break in any way. They're made in the...

Hey, quite interested in the rear bag. That's the dropper comparable one right? Hi, yeah, dropper compatible. All the info is here: https://rockgeist.com/product/gondola/ . I probably should've given it a wash, but apart from that there's no sign of wear. I paid about $140 Inc postage for it plus R...

Hi, just been having a clear out and have got these unused DrJ0n bits. 43mm Barnacles x4 (they were for a Fox Rhythm 34 - I'm not sure what else has the same lower leg diameter) - £60. Dangler now sold - sorry Brown Dog! https://i.postimg.cc/svHgzwSY/IMG-20220203-152019.jpg Also, Rockgeist Large Gon...

Thanks Mart. I hadn't considered carbon. The ti one on the Toaks website is where the postage is more than the lid.

Hi, I'm looking for a ti lid for my Vango 900ml pot. I've seen Toaks sell separate lids but can't find anywhere in the UK - ordering from abroad, the postage is more than the lid. I've seen other brands' pots that look the same as the Vango one (Keith, Toaks, etc), so wonder if someone has a lid the...

The bloke's association with Specialized is a recent thing - I was disappointed when it happened, as he was known for modifying old bikes and had a keen interest in retro parts. He did, and maybe still does work on his family's fishing boat during the winter months and bike/camp during the summer. T...

Hi, just wondering if anyone has got one and uses both pots as intended (pan on top of pot)? I've managed to pick one up for a price that was too good to pass up on - I don't think I'll end up using the pan though.

DrMekon - How do you find the fork on your bike? I know the cartridge in the 9 is supposed to be better than what's in the 7's fork, but what little info I've heard hasn't been great. Anyway, after riding the 7, I called in at a different shop on my way home - they had a 9 that had been the owner's ...

Aye, that Pine Mountain does look nice, and a bit cheaper than any other plus options. Maybe I could to stretch to buying something like that and keeping my current bike. I do have quite a few spares laying about too, so could soon upgrade any heavy, own-brand parts - although I'm guessing the wheel...

FLV - it wasn't that with mine, as I already had metal bb spacers. I think it was something to do with the dropouts. Anyway, I wasn't aware of the Kinesis. It looks interesting - I can't believe the fork option for it has 160mm travel!? Like benp, I think I'd prefer steel, although I'm not sure why?...

This is the problem FLV, there's too much choice! Although, now I've had breakfast and woken up properly I realise I've more or less answered my own question when saying I won't be buying standard steel if not going plus... That leads me back to the Solaris! I'm going past a Salsa dealer today, too,...

Thanks for all the extra suggestions. I'm still not much nearer in making a decision! I've seen the Solaris plus-sized wheel tests have been with WTB trailblazers, which are supposed way narrower than their supposed size! I'm just waiting for an email back with more info on the Solaris' clearances, ...

FLV - All good points. I've looked at a second hand carbon Niner and a few similar Cannondales, but they're out and out xc race machines - the reason I've been apprehensive is because there's not much, bar fork and tyres, that can be changed. I think you're right about having somehing to tinker with...

Cheers for the headsup, Scotroutes. I vaguely remember reading about saddlebag clearance with the biggest wheels... looks like I need to get my tape out. I might just buy a retro bike instead, ignore the internet, and pretend it's 1993!

The chainset remark is due to clearance with plus-sized tyres, not whether it can be fitted or not - some setups can't use the lowest gears without the chain rubbing on the tyre. Edit - Anyway, the Solaris is looking to be the top contender. I'm liking the fact it's a 29er that can take 27.5 wheels,...

I'm liking the sound of the Solaris Mk2. The bottle boss thing doesn't bother me, as I be fitting a full frame bag for longer rides or I wear a rucksack for anything else.

Some good suggestions! I'm still no nearer to making my mind up though. I do know I won't ever get a proper fat bike! My budget won't stretch to a Jones either. Also, if I do go plus, I'm wanting to use a double chainset (one of the reasons I looked at a Krampus Ops), so some options are out due to ...

I had looked into the bikes you both suggest, the Mariachi more than the Solaris, but that was just because I'd seen cheaper deals on the former. I wasn't aware that it can fit + tyres in the rear though - I'll look into that, and standover heights too. I'm tall, but with short'ish legs. Thanks. EDI...

Hi, sorry to ask this question, as I know everyone has their own ideas on these things, but... I'm after a new bike, something better suited to putting in more miles on (plus extra gear carrying space) than the 6" full-sus I'm currently not using. The days of driving to places to go biking are ...
