If it’s the SRAM X5 crank, then yes, just take both chainrings off and replace with a decent narrow/wide one (don’t get a cheapo off Amazon as they don’t fit - ask me how). I’ve used a race face one I'm pretty sure it's the Sram X5 but will need to check. I assume the new narrow wide ring would go ...

Any derailleur and cassette will do (the splines need to be compatible). You’ll need a new shifter as well plus might as well get new cable and outer. Unless the chainring is shot you shouldn’t need one of those. The current chain set is a Sram double. Is it possible just to remove the small ring? ...

My OnOne fatty is running the stock Sram drive train (2×9 I think) but it is a bit long in the tooth now.
I'm thinking of going for a 1x11 conversion, but not sure what id need.
Anyone know of groupsets available that could be used for this?
Thanks

I love my SMD Skyscape Scout

How much ?

Sorry, I was being whimsical, I'm not really ready to sell the bike just yet.

You could start with the '23 route, then the '14 route, and all the others will be fairly straightforward

That's a good shout

Hmm, good to know. I was hoping to enter this year. I decided I wasn’t ready for last year’s one.

Same here.

Is there anything official about this year's BB200? I'm considering entering (my first one), but wasn't sure of typical dates etc.

Can't find anything on here, or the events page.

Thanks

Having tried a few, I'd have to say my favourites are Pirelli Cinturato gravel Ms in 700c x 40mm

I heard a rumour that Graham was closing up shop at Smokestone bikes... is that true? Seems a shame if so. I heard great things about his bikes and always lusted after their drop bar mountain bike, Mr Harry I think.

Remind me what time "doors open" at BB towers, on Saturday?

Around 8am hopefully.

Ah ok, thanks Stu

Considering selling my medium el mariachi frameset with a rockshox 100mm fork if something more XC floats your boat I'm going to ask a stupid question... what makes that bike mote XC? I assume that means cross country? Sorry I'm not familiar with the terminology really so not sure if I'd want more ...

Will do

something from Cube would be my choice. i am trying to sell my Fatbike, and this is gonna be my purchase. Cube offer far more for the money, than fashionable names/niches. https://www.paulscycles.co.uk/bikes/mountain-bikes/cube-reaction-pro-hardtail-mountain-bike-2022-verdegreen__8926 Looks good! T...

The Blackburn Outpost standard front roll bag is very long and thin. I'll measure mine when I get home.

Are there any bargains around for hardtails up to £1k? Something appropriate for bikepacking of course.

So I'm assuming it's all primarily NE of BB towers this year ? Yes. E & NE Cheers. I've already plotted a route for myself, my son and a couple of mates and were heading due South through Hafren, only because the route is known to us, I'm confident my son could ride it, and it allows us some ca...
