Generally just trying to keep as much weight off the front as possible. More weigh, more grip :wink: Good call. I'll order a pizza! :lol: If you have the space under your stem, one of these will support the bottom of the harness and will help keep it away from the head tube and front wheel - https:...

Bleh, that Pronghorn is a spicy price, but it might just be what I'm after.

Edit - This one also seems long, but also on the heavier side.

Generally just trying to keep as much weight off the front as possible.

Wow, when I saw heavier I figured like, 30 or 40g... not 250g more!

Hi all. I've got a couple of a fairly long trips coming up (7-10 days) and I've realised that my old front bag setup isn't really going to work out (Wildcat Lion / Exped Blue). I've noticed that I'm getting a decent amount of rub on my front wheel when descending, and whilst I don't think it's going...

Bizarrely I'm up 2kg over the last two days. No obvious intake reasons, can only assume hormonal oddness.

Stupid bodies.

---- Starting Weight ---- 06/01/24: 69.4kg ---- Past Three Weeks (7 Day Rolling Average) ---- 30/03/2024: 63.5kg (-0.4kg) 06/03/2024: 63.2kg (-0.3kg) 13/03/2024: 62.5kg (-0.7kg) Another tough week, weight loss definitely impacting training now. I am at the point where I think I can add in a few more...

Oof... not sure I'd enjoy that!

Maybe worth reframing?

I might have cared about being slim for looks when I was a kid, but I've long since accepted I'm going to look like garbage at any sort of healthy weight anyway.

I lose weight for health, longevity (I hope) and performance, every kg helps.

Just had a big night out, so fully expecting that to be up by a kg on next weigh in.

OK on the weight front, not so much on everything else. Too much stress in my life right now.

Belated happy birthday!

Bah, not sure I can make it work this year. Two days later I'm supposed to be in Spain riding with Duncan and (Sweary) Dave. Not sure it would be sensible to take my last minute panic weekend and schedule to be away. Surely the answer is to pack before the WRT and don't unpack until you return from...

Rich, no one ever said on their deathbed "I wish I'd worked more". Ditch the work and ride your bike!! Sadly without work I aint got a house, and in this weather my death bed would be more of a death grass verge! :lol: So I got the goodies today Stu. Intrigued by what appears to be some s...

Not 100%, but it's not looking like I'm going to make it. Not the bike for once.

Really busy with work (still working as of the time of this post), and just don't see myself being able to get away. A real shame as it looks nice for once.

Related, don't ever get a house with a detached garage. Because it's treated as an "outbuilding" it's a major, major pain in the arse to get a home insurance policy that'll cover bikes stored there for any sort of decent amount. I doubt most people would know as they've probably got better...

Did you end up having a look at the numbers?

I need validation!

Just to let you guys know that I am indeed human... I'm really struggling to sort my diet out again since my "season" finished.

It seems that if I'm not fully on it (calorie counting, big deficits etc), I'm doomed to just eat like sub standard / gain weight.

I am amused. If you know, you know.
