Clunky fork
Bonj! I was out on my Arkose the other day and noticed that when stationary, hold the brake, there's a little play in the fork / steerer, resulting in a clunk if I push forward. If I look closely I can see the frame and fork move against each other very slightly. Is this a symptom of a knackered hea...

Re: bike seat for carrying a toddler
We had a Hamax Kiss for a while which was ok at best. Then swapped to a Weehoo iGo trailer, which was vaguely exciting.

Re: Bike stand recommendation
Apparently there's a company making "invisible stands ", which, from what I gather, are perspex wedge shaped jobbies, that you use to prop your bike up against the crank. This gives the appearance of an impossible lean, if that makes sense?
No idea where to buy them though.

Re: Southern Europe sleeping bag
Turns out that I may be returning to a former life and spending more time on the rock. So figured while I'm there, I might as well explore the place a little more.

Southern Europe sleeping bag
To those people who have been on trips in Southern Europe, Spain, Italy and the like, what kind of sleeping bags would you recommend? Is a bag even needed, or just a liner?
Thanks
Thanks

Re: Joe's shop for bikepacking gear
Can I make a suggestion for a product that if you could source, I would buy ?
The little pill container... get a large one, that can accommodate a tea spoon head, so that I can take a small quantity (3 or 4 brews worth) of my favourite instant coffee. Something like an old film cannister but better.

Re: Another sleeping bag querie ........ sorry
I was considering this bag, but now Stu is stocking the Criterion bags, the Ultralight 350 is now just ahead as my choice of upgrade.
The Alpkit bags are meant to be very good, but I've no personal experience of them.

Not having riding buddies is what is stopping me doing a proper trip more often... Nahhh...that's not it ; ) Get out solo...even if overnight. You're missing a trick here.

Re: Winter gravel
Based on the info in this thread and my own research im pretty much set on the Marathon Mondials.
I've noticed the folding bead variety comes in a 50-622 sizing. Anyone have experience of fitting this size tyre in to an Arkose, or should I stick to the 40-622 version? Thanks

No i haven't. Apparently the tan walls weep quite badly and dont hold air well. I must admit, before buyi...

Re: Winter gravel
I'd say WTB Resolutes fulfill your criteria for B, C and D. The only downside I've found has been the sidewalls (though I've subjected them to some pretty serious underbiking). Not tried them yet, but the new casings should help with point A, and also tick off E. I looked for the Resolute in SG2 ca...
