Re: Castle Douglas
The Trespass (Scotland) Act of 1865 disagrees :???: I had a pedal from Newton Stewart down to the Mull of Galloway around that week. Mostly on roads (v quiet ones) - down through Wigtown to the lighthouse and back up to camp at the castle ruin in Portpatrick. Loop north and back to Stranraer and the...

Re: Cairngorms loop
This is the route I’ve done a couple of times, it’s the original ‘Tour of the Cairngorms’ route that was in Phil McVanes ‘Scotlands wild trails’ book from years ago (a few years before the Cairngorm loop became a thing): https://www.komoot.com/tour/90880314 That route uses a fair chunk of unnecessa...

Re: Cairngorms loop
When you say "very top section", do you mean the highest section over Bynack Barns? If so, Wotsits probably has it - don't turn right over Bynack, but continue past Ryvoan and down onto forest roads past Forest Lodge and the outer loop. More likely I think, is that you've read about avoidi...

Different sizeI've got a Pro 2 EVO shell somewhere in the garage and will try to find it and compare.
I'd ring Hope - I'd be surprised if they didn't sell you a shell. Go for steel.

Re: Wtd. Hope pro 4 freehub shell
I think 10 and 11 Spd MTB are the same size/width Mike, so you just need the spacer behind the cassette. No spacer if 11 Spd road cassette.
I've got a Pro 2 EVO shell somewhere in the garage and will try to find it and compare.

A pair of 29er Hunt XC Wide wheels (V1 or V2, I can't remember/tell). Set up tubeless (Hunt proprietary tape on rear, but replaced with Gorilla tape on the front, to get a 'baggy' tyre to seal). Good points: Lightweight (1950gm with tape, valves and 180/160 Ice tech rotors or sub 1700gms 'bare). Bea...

Google 'fishing rucksacks' Shaf. They are all about storage and separate pockets and you don't pay for all the 'make it light and comfortable to carry' stuff.
