Boost QR is 141mm :roll: Either way its a 3mm increase either side. Its a good question by Greg though as I'm thinking of a new frame and want Boost for 2 x 10 plus tyre clearance, but would want to run my existing Singlespeed wheel if needed, and I hadnt thought about this. I guess going down the s...

No, but given its only 3mm wider on each side, could you not just space out the hub OLN and disk mount, as an interim, whilst the usual suspects (Surly, WI, Pauls etc) catch up? With Surlys Gnot Boost standard i would be surprised if they dont update their hub at some point.

Well the blog post had me chuckling when i read it

(Despite the lack of front baskets )

Doesnt mention front baskets. Its all about the front basket on your fat bike now.

Alpkit hunka XL bivvy bag for sale. In Lego Blue. Used 3 times before upgrading so VVGC £50 posted

https://www.alpkit.com/products/hunka-xl

Thats at the bottom of a cheeky woodland descent in the Chilterns near Mapledurham. Its a really strong belt off that particular fence compared to others for some reason

Even more reason not to lay your bike on it

Ha ha thanks Ian. Very sad to see it go - i agonised for a long time before selling, but with a Singular Pegasus doing the same job and too many bikes in the garage it was time for it to find a new home. Think the new keeper will be pleased though

Price reduced to £375

Hi Mike

Sorry missed your post here and message. Still for sale

Cheers Andy

Born without a sense of smell... so a world I will never know

Still I look at the positives - could have been eyesight or hearing which would have been a tad more inconvenient!

Plus riding for a week without washing really doesnt bother me

Just lose yourself in the scenery man

Guy I rode part of the GDMBR with last summer, played his harmonica. He also thought it was a cool bear deterant. He saw 5 grizzlies including two Sows with cubs in the first week

Scotland - burn water. Else where i use a Sawyer mini filter.

On the Sawyers, if not aware, you need to be careful not to let them freeze eg during a hard frost, as the internal is a series of thin glass tubes that will shatter if still have water in them.

Hi Gari - PMed you

Thanks Ian, but yours is a bit on the small side, no?

Yes they are a brilliant ride, so light and responsive compared to the Steel Inbred. Only selling as also have a Ti Singular Pegasus that does the same job and starting to pull the pennies for a custom 29er plus in Ti type thing....

SOLD

Is the hope floating disc 180 or 183? And what colour is the spider please?

85kgs here and used to run 29er Crests and the earlier 29 355s on all my bikes, battered them through lots of rocks with no damage. I switched to Arch though as found them much stiffer and improved the handling of my bikes no end.

Surely a Gravel Dash should involve participants riding a gravel type bike? Think I'd outlaw tyres above 50c and make drops compulsory

Fair point - think I need to switch to the fatbike for increased giggles
