Wtd Exped pumpbag S

Don't suppose anyone has a small exped UL pumpbag surplus to their requirements that they'd be interested in moving on? Seems like there aren't any in the UK at the moment and bringing one in from the Netherlands was £28 just for the postage :shock:

Re: Oswestry

If you're still looking vague outline of a loop. Wem to Clive, through Grinshill to Shawbury, Astley, tracks back up towards airbase then across to Hand all, Montford Bridge, Shrawardine, Nesscliffe, Ruyton-XI-Towns, Ellesmere, Loppington, Wem. Should be in the right ball park distance wise but it's...

Late to the party and discussion.... I am finally about to toe the line, had numerous entries but never got this far, mostly due to ill health, so super excited. Given dodgy health I am planning on doing a shorter ride, slowish, but with cake and some local knowledge. Would love a bit of company. N...

Swapped the kit over from the old stooge MK1 frame to the shiny new MK4. Spent the rest of the evening swearing profusely as I tried (unsuccessfully) to remove the seatpost from the frame.

Re: Saudi Arabia?

There are some lovely looking mountains out near Yanbu on the red sea coast, look like they should have some potential but I just don't think there is much in the way of walking or riding (of any form) to have put much in the way of trails in. And it's really hot and the driving is properly terrifyi...

Re: Invermoriston to Skye

Have you done the trail to the north of Ben Fhada via Bealach an Sgairne? I've read that it's a better descent.
I have, it's the best descent I've done in the UK and right up there with the best anywhere.

Sold

After moving across to b+ I'm selling my 29/29+ dynamo front wheel from my stooge.

It has an exposure pd-8 hub (qr fitting) and a h-plus son todstreib rim. The internal width is approx 27mm so it'll take standard or plus size tyres.

£150 ono. Now sold

Re: Cycle 2 charge query

Yep. In parallel both off the hub connector. I've disconnected the C2C at the stem cap and the revo works fine, plug it in and I struggle to light up 4 leds. Suggests it's not the connection or a fault in either cable.

I was going to fit a switch but it seems daft to do it for a non working unit.
