Not really bike packing related but bought from here previously so will offer them here before eBay. Pictures: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ygAdgEHciQG2qTbK8 All of the bikes have various scrapes and scratches from being used - any other defects noted in description. Can be collected from Sheffield, or...

Not strictly bikepacking related but was discussed on here. I've owned it for not quite a year but use it enough I can justify spending the money on a folder with thicker tyres for more offroad use. Tyres are 20", bigger 461 rim size and largest that can be fitted 28mm wide - they've both been ...

SMD Lunar Solo, bought in Dec 2017. It comes with selection of pegs, BB Carbon main pole and BB carbon guy lifters - these make a big difference if you're over 6' since the tent will not slap you in the face so much if it's windy. I have painted the ground sheet with a mix of silicon sealant and whi...

Thanks!

I took some weight out of mine by shortening the brackets

Did you need to re-tap the bolt holes when shortening the brackets? I’m limited by how much downwards I can tilt mine but would like the load a little bit closer to the bars

Quick bump for price reduction to £2000

I'm selling my Horsethief, bought from here . Current pictures on Google Photos . My head is so much less capable that this bike on technical ground and the only times I do not feel over biked I'm not enjoying it either at the time nor afterwards. Bike works well for bikepacking with the included Sa...

That’s excellent, it looks really good

I have used stickytapes.com in the past and the product was good. About to order some more from them

If I roll the hood up it unrolls itself so I have been tucking it down my back but found it not the most comfortable. Off to play with some Velcro strip

I’ve recently bought a Gore Lupra jacket which I’m really pleased with except that the hood doesn’t have any sort of strap to keep it rolled up so deploys as an air brake behind me when not on my head. Mrs S has a Montane jacket that has a rubber keeper on the hood elastic at the back of the head th...

Squirtymcfilthy will drop you an IM if it doesn’t work out above

I have a genesis fortitude adventure 19” frame & fork, BUT the seat post is rusted in and my effort to remove it left a stump which will have to be etched out. It’s a job I’m unlikely to ever realistically get round to and would be happy to give away. Also crankset, Alfine 11 rear wheel, SP dyna...

Group start on the Peak 200 would be good. Wrong side of the peaks for you I know but there is plenty of on the side of the road parking just up from the Fox House and there’s the NT Longshaw Cafe 5 minutes from that. Other option might be parking in Lodgemoor on the edge of Sheffield then it’s 10 m...

I’ve used various suspension posts: PNW coast suspension dropper: Feels like it only really works for big hits and does less taking the trail buzz compared to redshift or thudbuster type designs. It’s also noticeable that the movement is up and down rather than moving in an arc like the redshift or ...

I’ve found Thumb over grips helped to give an alternative hand position that helped avoid numbness. My eBay copies broke pretty quickly and I’m now using the SQLabs inner bar ends which I think are even better since it rotates your wrist in a similar way to a drop bar

He was after bibs, these are just shorts. Right size though!

All can be collected from Sheffield instead of posting. Sold Aussie Grit XL Flint bike shorts, worn couple of times but didn’t work for me. £25 posted https://photos.app.goo.gl/mRkonNoAEDABL3Cw5 Wildcat Lion handlebar harness. It’s been used but nothing looks worn. £40 posted https://photos.app.goo....

I have some AG Flint 2in1 in size XL if they’re of interest. Didn’t quite work for me so only worn twice I think, then put in the pile of things i really must get round to selling.

Thanks for the replies, PM inbound when kids give me a minute….

I’ve moved to Fulwood recently and would like to get out of an evening midweek- some company would make me much more likely to do so! Anyone interested or can suggest groups who I might be able to tag along with?

Yes please! Will IM

Columbia Outdry Nanolites are less than half price at the moment, I've fancied one for a while but didn't want to pay full price for one, they were reduced to £150 then had another 10% off at the weekend so I bought one, today they're even cheaper at £125 https://www.columbiasportswear.co.uk/p/mens...

For Light Bicycle ask them to quote TPD, much cheaper than paying for postage and then import duties even if I’m not sure quite how it’s cheaper
