Re: With the onset of winter ...
Started the year on form and ticked off the Rovaniemi 150 and a couple of 200milers before injury struck. Month off the bike, back on for a few weeks then did the Capital Trail before blowing my knee. Queue 3 months off missing most of the summer. I've started gently back into things now and things ...

Re: Ever get bored of tracking miles?
I track and although it does bore me sometimes the long term feed back it gives me out weighs it.
My memory's also rubbish so it's nice to be able to look back on a ride and remind myself where I've been or a particular section that I'd forgotten how to get to!

In. I keep hearing about Indian summers, not sure what they are but I'm guessing it means sunshine in January.

Re: Bar harness with cantis?
Your all missing a trick here. Surely this is the best excuse to upgrade your shifters to something with internal routing!! Problem solved and just think of the beautiful crisp shifting!!!

Re: 29+ tyre pressures
12psi front and 13 rear in my tubeless setup 27tpi knards. May well be different for the thinner 120tpi tyres but I find this spot on for my slender 95kg frame.
edit: I tend to find 11 up front feels lush and plush but tend to feel rim hits on occasion so 12 was the safer bet.

Haha so after a fair bit of searching and shouts from up there /\ I thought Nano's it is. Then Ian chirped in to confirm what I was starting to think. None anywhere!

Re: Decent F****** Cross Country Tyres
Running a 3" Knard on my 29+, set up tubeless and not had a single puncture in over 2000km. That said the 120tpi tyre I had on first was stupid thin and was destroyed after one ride. I replaced with the 60pti versions which felt about 10 x thicker. Initially I was gutted by the extra weight but...

What tyres are on your gravel bikes?
Looking at different tyre options and wondering what these parts recommend?
Looking at something up to 40mm for road / touring / exploring duties.

Re: Winters coming, whats on your feet?
I got a pair of Wolvhammers half price from Charlie the Bikemonger. They will be my footwear of choice for the Puffer, but for most other things they are probably too warm. I wore mine from autumn through to spring last year. Warn and toasty without being to hot. Two season merino socks most of the...

Re: Nights drawing in - happy?
3 months off the bike during the "Summer" meant a fair bit of tinkering including changing all front hubs to dynamos. Quite looking forward to being totally self sufficient and pootling off into the solitude of night rides with no restrictions. Can't wait for the crisp cold winter to get t...

Re: full length top tube bag?
I use a small alpkit Fuelpod at the back attached to seatpost and a medium or large at the front. Works well, keeps the stand over height but gives you the extra storage space between your legs.
