Re: Anyone any experience of 'non shocker' version of USE/Ultimate seatposts?
I have two 27.2 USE seatposts bought from their outlet store in the summer. One is the superlight inline carbon EVO and the other is the titanium SUMO one. Both well made and lovely. The EVO is a bit difficult to adjust the angle, but fine once setup. I got both for half price.

Re: Atlas Mountain Race...
I was offered a place and really would love to do it, but I just couldn't justify it given the current circumstances. I've told Nelson I will reapply next year.

Re: who rides Ti ?
Another Ti tart here: * Custom Jeronimo Rasputin, lovely ride -- albeit a bit flexy * Kinesis Tripster V1 -- sadly cracked upper end of the down tube back in May :cry: I bought both 2nd hand, as I am too tight to buy a brand new Ti frame. I do love the ride quality and the look & feel. And assuming ...

Re: Mudguards
The SKS full length mudguards are very good with coverage, but they can be a bit fiddly to install, requiring a hacksaw, drill and adjustable wrench and patience. But once setup, I've found them pretty solid on my winter/commuter bike. However, when taking it offroad in mud and leaves, it's pretty e...

Re: Short section of Tubeless Tyre Wanted
Have you tried sewing it up? Often works okay as a fix even for tubeless.

Re: Films to watch while isolating
Fascinating / disturbing documentary on iPlayer called 'The Mole' about a mole in North Korea. I've already said too much. Just go watch it.

Re: BB200 2020
Gave this a good crack yesterday, semi-chasing Matt's time and to see where the fitness was after a funny year. Pretty pleased to get round in 14:32, even if I did do more pushing up tarmac than I have in the rest of my life combined! On paper it was to be my longest/hardest ride on singlespeed yet...

Re: My BB200 2020 (may contain spoilers).
The Gap is nothing compared the that descent off Black Hill or whatever its called. I'd argue the rocky descent down to Brinore Tramway is harder too, first couple if drops aside (mostly because it's always wet). Yep, Gap is totally rideable compared to the descent off Hay Bluff. Per link from Sean...

Re: My BB200 2020 (may contain spoilers).
Does anyone know what that utterly insane descent off the top off the hill after Hay is called? I want to show a friend. Just, holy sh*t. From looking on strava, is it this bit? https://www.strava.com/segments/9350747 Olchon Valley Full Descent. -15.9% seems pretty insane to me. I found the upper s...

Re: Badlands 2020 Racing in a time of Covid
Great write up, inspired to ride this someday. Definitely agree on bike choice! I do love Granada, and Spain for that matter. Sad to be reminded about the plastic grow huts. I remember that Simon Reeves docu.

Re: BB200 2020
I couldn't agree more with all that Whitestone! Though, I am also in agreement with Steve that it's disappointing to see ROW gates permanently locked. I can understand the lack of incentive to maintain ROW which are not often used, but is that because they've been superceded with a better ROW or bec...
