Re: HT550 - 2024
I can't help thinking, as someone who has not done it, that the run in from Fort William to Bridge of Orchy is a real sting in the tail after the distance already ridden, especially if you fall into that mental black hole of thinking 'almost there' :shock: The section from Devil's staircase to Tynd...

It looks like Ed Procter's feet got the better of him. Shame, as he was well up there.

Re: The post man's been ...
After looking in vain for a Hilleberg within budget I came across the Kuiu Storm Star. It makes for a tight pitch with its X-Pac reinforcement even though I know this has already been used for a few nights. 200 grams heavier than a Soulo but lots more room and two doors. https://i.imgur.com/PIhXQAV....

I had a gatewood and yes, I agree it would be a worthwhile experiment.frogatthefarriers wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2024 8:28 pm That’s a pretty neat idea. I get irritated by the pole in the middle of the Gatewood. Me not being a weight-weenie, the extra weight might be a worth-while penalty.

MYOG Duomid A frame
I've been frustrated by the central pole in my Duomid so today I put together an A frame which seems as if it will do the trick. Alpkit do a 170mm pole (Vertex), so I started with two of those. I took the knobs of the tops of the poles so that the pole would fit into a sleeve. Though I left the inte...

I've some 'funn full on' risers spare - 30mm rise by the looks and 785 wide. Usual sweep - probably 11 degree back sweep and 5 degree up sweep I'd say. Any use?
Cheers

Re: Badger Divide - Parking Glasgow?
An update.
There were no replies on this thread when I set off, so with street view I picked somewhere "suitable" 3 miles out of town in Balornock near some shops, but not in front of someone's house.
I'll find out tomorrow if my car is still there.

I'm driving up to Glasgow to ride the Badger Divide over 4 days.
Any ideas what the score is with parking near the start?

Apparently Tics are already rampant up there. Permethrin lotion keeps the feckers off.

Re: Aeroe rear rack thoughts
Can't say i really noticed the weight. Definitely a wide load though which took a bit of getting used to.fatbikerbill wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 5:36 pm Rich,
How does that ride with so much weight at the back?
For the TMB I'd balance it out with a Salsa cage on the bars.

Re: Aeroe rear rack thoughts
I have one which I've strapped 2 20 litre dry bags too.
Carbon fibre seatstays on my Salsa Pony Rustler. So far done the N loop of the 550 and part of the Jennride without any dramas.
Probably going to use it on the TMB in June, though just with one bag on top.
