Re: Feed bags / Stem Cells

I made a bunch of feedbags and put a couple of tabs at the bottom for fork-attaching. Seemed like a good idea while in front of the machine, haven't really notice it make much of a difference either way when riding the bike though...!

Re: Man hit by lightning pen y fan

Sad to hear about the deaths due to lightning strikes. What is the recommendation for riding carbon frames in those conditions? Walkers fishermen and golfers are recommended not to wave metal or carbon poles about just wondering if any tests ever done on bike frame materials and insulating properti...

Re: Advice on where to source a frame

The fork takes a 3" tyre with room to spare.

At the rear - you can slam a 2.4" to the front of the drop outs but there's little chainstay clearance, a set of monkey nuts solves this on a geared setup, or pop an extra link in the chain for singlespeed...

Re: New stove for solo adventures
