Re: Anyone got a "hack" bike?
Hi groovers. I have an old Kona Cindercone sitting in the garage. How much do you reckon it would cost for me to get it set up as single speed? Is it a tricky conversion to do?? Thanks,m Not a lot. If it's a 94-97 (might be true for others too?) Then a worn chain will run nicely in 32-16 from what ...

Re: The post man's been ...
In a rather annoying twist of fate, i missed the postman and his delivery of an airshot cylinder today...... And then got my first pinch puncture of the year this evening.... Tubeless conversions x 4 tomorrow i think.

Re: Lightweight Snack Food
Raisins, cashew nuts, peperami sticks, bakewell flapjacks from aldi, mini pork and pickle pies, nakd bars.... There's a few ideas! All pretty calorie dense & relatively palatable while exercising. Also make my own chia seed, raisin & peanut butter flapjacks from http://www.muddyrace.co.uk/nu...

Re: How many bikes is too many
I've got 6 (jumpy MTB, xc bike, fatty, cx bike, roadie, bmx) and while i could easily have more (a dh bike and/or a trials one) 6 seems to be quite a lot already...
Pre-kids, i had more than this, although often in bits!

Re: Sleeping systems for the dog?
When my dog was young enough to come along with me, I carried a vet bed for her to lie on. A synthetic sheepskin, pretty much. I've got one of those bags, and it's great for taking a filthy dog in a clean car but I'm not sure she'd sleep in it! Whenever she got cold, I'd just make sure she is fairly...

If you are relatively small and female, tkmaxx in Sheffield had very nice yeti down jackets at £99 down from £350.... Try as I might, the biggest one (ladies medium) wouldn't fit me!

Re: is this a daft idea?
Sounds perfectly fine (but try it at home in case it tastes rank!)... But why not carry a decent sized ziploc bag for the same purpose? Lighter and designed for food/drink. Even works fine as a dry bag for your warm jacket or similar too.
