Im in again, don't know what the plan is but I'm in

BAM 1/1 ...... WOW finally back on bike after 6 months with busted shoulder, a couple of commutes and longer rides then thought lets do it. Loaded the ramin up and headed to Rivington (not too far to see how shoulder held up fully loaded), weather forecast for last night was crap but hey - ho only g...

Well thats BaM over for this time, having to go for more X-rays and Mri scan to see if I have damaged shoulder and bicep muscles ( had major surgery on them 4 years ago), I was going to rewrite my July bivvy as the wife typed it up previous (rubbish)but hey ho it is what it is..... Happy camping guy...

Thanks guys, yes Reg , Oxenholme is where I'm getting off.

Hi all , looking at getting train from Wigan to Kendal for a couple nights bivi in August, how do I book the bike on as when I'm booking tickets online there's no provision for the bike...is it a case of book tickets then turn up with bike ???? Sorry if it sounds numb but never taken it on train bef...

Gaz, that second photo looks like you're taking breakfast in hell - pennance for some sort of bivvy offence? It was ok Reg, I wasn't planning on going out ,resided myself to the fact my BaM was over then the wife went to bed @ 9.15pm and I thought F' it get gone. So it was a mad dash to get stuff a...

6/6 June done with spur of the moment last day dash due to work and illness (thought I would not get it in ). quick ride to my fave spot at Rivington Pike , loads of wildlife mooching around and squawking ,,,,had a lovely supper of instant noodles and hotdogs...mmmmmmm.... https://live.staticflickr....

On my Ramin 3+ this is what I did. I bodged some valves together from dead tubes, poured in the Stans fluid and pumped 'em up. 18 months later, they're still good. If your rims look like this:- https://live.staticflickr.com/4206/34732382630_eb15b83424_z.jpg you'll probably be able to do the same. C...

Thanks everyone for the input....have a go at weekend

I don't bother with special rim tape, I just use a couple of wraps of Gorilla tape. If you're fitting WTB tyres, they'll likely be a very tight fit, so don't go mad with the tape or you'll struggle to get the tyres on and back off

Yes they are wtb tyres , and yes a really tight fit.

WOW thank you for in depth info...try it at weekend

Hi, I've never setup tubeless before and after my last outing ( bit of a faff) am going tubless for 1st time. They are wtb scrapers on my ramin3+ and what I want is advice on rim tape size and what sealant you boners are using...cheers

Gary, On BB200 2018 I had ~12 punctures (lost count in the end), problem being “only” had three spare tubes. Had to stop multiple times “just” to repair inner tubes. I am now tubeless. To be fair, in summer I attract ticks (ask stu) and in winter punctures. It was a bit of a faff, my fault and bad ...

Gaz ... bugger me backwards but that was fun reading. Kinda felt I was there with you because who hasn't been there? But, like, are you seriously telling me that you bivvied at the Cannock Chase Go Ape tables? Respect bruff... * * I'm a fat bald old man but I have teenaged kids and I like to think ...

Was sorry we couldn't have helped you more Gaz - you certainly had a real run of bad luck there :sad: . Anyway, good excuse for a re-match sometime! Thanks Reg a pleasure meeting you and in the slogan of a well known supermarket ' every little helps' your little patches helped a lot.. . Rematch sou...

Not a problem Gaz we all have those days ,hope the wife and dog didn't drive you menta whenl she gave you a brew ,they are both as bad as each other ,goes some way to explaining the way I am =)) Thanks to your mrs for the coffee and the dog even more giddy..had a good ride back to yours following t...

March BaM 3/3 , where do I begin..drove the 1hr20m down to Stu's ( MaM) for the stafford meet up, Arried just after 9 , met with a cheery welcome and an exited Guinness the dog ( so adorable). Geared up and off we set , only gone 2mins and shouted " hold on Stu I've left backpack in van "....DOH.......

Bloody hell, is it just me or do I feel like people take less on a round the world tour than I do for a one nighter..

Just got back from a stroll withe the dog over the chase and parts of it are a bit boggy so be warned ,also there's a fair few thorns and spikey bits on the towpath on the ride in gazaddy so make sure your either topped up with sealant or plenty of tubes :-bd Innertubes it is, not tubeless on the r...
