I stopped off there a few weeks ago for some shelter to have lunch in. Couldnt go inside as was locked. Whilst sat under the porch, a Suberu came down the hill with a black lab bounding along behind, and parked by the hut. A very well spoken and well dressed English couple got out. We exchanged plea...

I've got a rooster but recently took the 3" tyre off the back for a 2.3" purgatory. The chain can rub on the tyre with a double and 3" tyre. Same for all non boost plus frames. Easy fix with a boost or Surly OD chainset. Can also tweak the ebb outboard a couple of mm to help. Swift d...

Wheels sold

Correction, just checked, the plus rims are brand new, tyres fitted but never ridden

Singular Rooster the best bet. EBB can be adjusted to suit wheel size. XLs pop up second hand. Seen a couple in last month. Maybe one of the Vassago frames might work. Stanton are selling two Sherpa Plus frames (production ready prototypes) in 19 & 21 but they will be boost. Next 29 plus frame i...

29 plus wheels for fat bike. Hubs are silver Hope Pro2 Fatsno. 170mm QR rear and 135 QR RDS front. Front can be adapted to FDS, 142 x 15 and 150 x 15. Will include adaptors for 150 x 15mm. Rims are black Easton ARC 40mm internal width. Stainless double butted silver spokes. Hubs are about 12 months ...

Apologies - only just noticed its for a drop bar config . Agreed 10 speed shimano mtb does not work with 10 speed sti. 9 speed mechs work fine. Best set up indexing up and down from one of the centre sprockets on the cassette. Agreed goatlink way forward.

Alternatively use an M8000 11 speed mech as it is the same pull ratio as 10 speed so works on a 10 speed set up, but has themuch bigger range capability

Fleecer was "interesting" on a laden drop bar fargo

I camped below Huckleberry Pass during my tour last year. In my rush to pitch my tent, under a ferocious storm (the last rain for 5 weeks), I accidently soaked my tent in Huckleberry wine. It stank for days afterwards, so much for care in bear country

Charliecres if Mariner doesnt take the bend bars, i will as Silver, 710s are exactly what im looking for at the moment

No XL

I've plans, when baby is older, to head out for a very slow 60 day run down the route with my wife. Few years away yet. And at least another fast-ish run down Met a french couple in Hachita last year who had ridden the whole route towing their 12 month old son in a trailer. He was 10 months old whe...

I see Evans are doing the Pinnacle Ramin 3 frame & forks for £200. Full 650b 3 inch tyre or 29 capacity, eccentric bottom bracket, fork anything cage mounts. If that had Salsa or Surly painted on it it would sell like hotcakes.....

Difficult to say from the ad, or the sellers history whether its genuine or not. I know a few people who shift bikes when they are finished with them in a similar way. Just put on ebay, no reserve and let it run. Sellers history looks like they use ebay occasionally just to get ride of stuff. If I w...

Some carbon poles from Stuart - bloody excellent - dont know why didnt get some ages ago!

Hi yes i will take this. Will message

I would prefer the option of easily swapping components between bikes and frames though

(I can currently use the wheels from my Full Suss Turner Sultan on my Tripster touring bike. I like that Option)

I "get" a wider rear boost hub for wheel stiffness and plus tyre clearance but dont understand why the 150mm downhill standard wasnt used! I am not against using spacers on hubs though if it works. My fat bike front wheel is a 135 RDS fitted to a 150mm bolt through fork using the correct H...

Think there is a Marin out there with 141 QR

(Edit: My rolly eyes was frustration at the minefield of Hub standards )
