I think it’s all the same weekend

Something to throw into the mix - on the Saturday the Salop Sludger starts in BC from the six bells. It’s a mountain bike treasure hunt - you get some of the grid refs and the rest you find along the way by solving clues. I did it last year and it was a right laugh. https://p.facebook.com/events/583...

Erm. No message has come through?

Ok, great. Why sorry???

do you want to pm me a PayPal address?

Are these the team issue folding tubeless version? If so I’ll take them please.

I would be interested in the nuke proof forks please if you could measure the steerer and the a to c for me please.

Are they the ones with the massive yellow ‘nuke proof’ decal down the legs?

Maybe they were intimidated by the panda on Reg’s head...

Get my hole out :shock: is this going to go full deliverance? Be great to catch up with you all if I can wrangle it round child commitments - should have hopefully recovered from the bb200 dyfi forest death march by then. White horse pub is the one - fantastic food and even better beer brewed on the...

Plenty to do around BC.
If you go south of the Kerry ridge there’s a fantastic pub in clun and some very agreeable old drivers roads beyond it. Happy make some suggestions.

Really enjoyed my ride/walk this weekend, the route was tough but entertaining. Really glad I hooked up with Al and Hetty, made the nighttime slog all the more bearable, thanks guys. And thanks Stu and Dee for everything, except 'kin Dyfi Forrest you #*@£ :lol: Like wise Andy - was great to have so...

I’m pretty lucky in this respect as we live on the Kerry ridgeway - had some cracking rides this summer riding out to the coast bivvying on the way then getting a train home.

Cheers, I’ve packed a phd minimus and Mountain equipment ion bivi I bought of stu recently. Not a fan of bivi bags on their own in heavy rain, but like you really hoping not use it.

Just wanted to see if if the rain had changed anyone’s sleep kit plans as I was starting to waver!
.

What are people who are hoping to ride through (but accepting they might end up needing a power nap!) taking for shelter?
I packed a lightweight bivy, but looking at the forecast I’m curious how many of you are carrying a tarp as well.

Sperm oil was whale oil - for your lamp.

Thanks stu - looks pretty steep. Hope I can keep my eyes open by then!

Which part is the descent in Dyfi forest someone posted the YouTube clip of?

Edit- think I found it @190km?

45mm sks bluemels on my Camino. Very happy with them.

Any good?

Well the Nanos have gone up on the Iron cross rims with no drama. So I’m chuffed but left puzzled why the same pair of tyres proved such a nightmare on Crest rims - didn’t think they’d be that different.

I remember reading something on a lightweight backpacking site years ago that suggested sleeping with a disposable dust mask over your face like you use for diy. The idea was you lose a lot of heat warming the air you breathe in, so could get away with a thinner bag. Can’t say I’ve ever tried it tho...

That is weird. I snapped two meaty pedros tyre levers just getting them on the rim.
New wheels should show up tomorrow - I shall l report back...

I’ve tried them on a set of spare wheels with crest rims and it was a definite no go - crazy tight beads. I believe stans and wtb use a slightly different standard to size their rims (one is ust, one isn’t - can’t remember which). I will definitely try the nanos first before spending any money as pe...

Tan wall !
What width did you go for? Not sure 43s would clear my fork

I’m swapping the wheels on my gravel bike from wtb rims to stans iron cross. Currently have 40c nanos on and I like them a lot. I know from previous experience they won’t play nice with the stans rims (far too tight) so wondering if anyone has used anything similar to a 40c nano without issues on a ...

Mine are held in with a bit of old spoke since I lost the bolt
