Here in the uk you’d have to wilfully avoid resupply to justify carrying multiple days food

This vegan strongly disagrees with that but its better than it was . Pubs usually have a meal local shops and garages are still pretty much useless ( biscuits generally )

I just use an air gun with the nozzle jammed in the valve (core removed, obviously)

I have one of those and tbat is such an obvious solution its embarassing i never thought of it

Cheers

I have a 9 litre tank compressor (£45 iirc).and two issues 1.air flow is not great but its a dirt cheap tube and inflater, a better quality may remedy this. 2. All inflaters are schrader not presta so you need a solution there. I just use it to inflate a 9 litere fire extinguisher and dump from ther...

Yku can stop google tracking you( not sure whow that works if using their maps but I ssume it just does not keep.a record ) but you would need to search online how to do it Inise memory map.and its an app with maps downloaded to the device ( needs internet to do this) so works off line You can pay a...

I tbi k they have always done annula but my 20 yesr old version ocassionally has new estates* on roads but off road its still fine. Not really sure how memory map could deprive me of my lifetime copy. Its not like they can remove the files from my phones/ lqptop or the app ( memory map have ne er so...

I still.dont know.why people dont just get memory map as it uses OS mapping and it just works

I think qr were centrlock internal/ casette tool then it changed to accomodate bolt through, but not 100% certain.

That’s not the tool needed though

Last two centrelock rotors i bought did not come with a lockring so its not 100% definite what its locked with ( and either would work )
based on what the tech doc says.( more likely poasibly, vut certain , no.)

We mean does the.tool grip the outside( bb tool) or inside of the lockring (.caseete tool but not all.fit IME)

I have a casette tool that does not fit so had to buy another to do this ( has a centre pin on new one)
Newer rotors use the bb size outside/ external but are much bigger than the casette type ( internal ) and does look pretty much like a casetter bolt and sounds like what you have.

Cheap chinese brand ( were on ebay for years ) selling all sorts of bike tst (lights, bags, chainrings discs etc ). Very cheap but seem OK HOWEVER i bought a frame back 5 years ago ( possibly longer)amd the zip broke pretty quickly( weeks/months) on it. They.stupidly sent me 2 when i bought one and ...

Trekker stealth Like mine but put it in the small.tent / big(huge) bivvy category Has withstood some pretty poor weather and kept me dry and (just) enough room.to get changed inside / pack up.

The ice spikers are insanely heavy and draggy First time I put mine on the SS I could just about manage the flat bits ! Insanely grippy though and i doubt you could lose traction but they really.do need ice as even in snow its just drsggy a d no more grip. Mine are 26 er and after 10 years i have us...

Count the clicks have you got them all ? Check rear mech adjustment is correct ( if you can get top and botto hand shifting tben shifter must be the issue) Check cable run is smooth and not kinked somewhere If those are correct and have 6 clicks so 7 gears it should be usable. Bent hanger is much mo...

Did not change my world view as I allready knew most people were thick and how dangerous cars were

IMHO if you need mtb width tyres its not gravel ( plus or otherwise)you are riding.

Acoustic is the only phrase i have heard used and no way i would call my bikes non ebikes.

Chapeau to the madman / hero.

I have used proper boost and adapted ( thousands of miles on each for my winter summer wheel.set ) and you wont be able to tell which is which in use and both work fine. Just adapted a set for a 500 mile bikepacking trip and had zero issues Basically the kits work and all.mine are cheapo ebay kits n...

Liked mine but made storing the bike akward as they are so much wider tban road bars so now just put them on for the rare times i donproper gravel rides

That is cheap and that is bought.
Thanks ( and also to phil who converted me to 29+ )
