If Mike changes his mind, can I buy it please?

A 24" islabikes carbon hubbed front wheel to go on the tiny Kona hula I'm doing up for my daughter.

Some 152mm cranks and bright orange BMX pedals, also for the above Kona.

If you're anywhere near Sheffield, I've a pair of smallish karrimor (from before they became sports direct poor show) paniers you can borrow

If anyone is an American Express cardholder and interested in the sports pursuits deals, there's a further £10 off £100 offer you can sign up for on their app or website.

I've now got 6 or 7 overlapping 11x11 squares... just a couple of odd tiles to hit and that should be 13x13.

While checking this, I realised that I have at least 2 tiles which are out at sea due to heading out to the water at low tide. totally irrelevant point, just looked strange!

Looking for a couple of bits to finish off my daughter's bike.

Square taper BB, 113 or 116 mm axle
36 or 24 hole, QR, Shimano cassette rear hub (annoyingly, sold a hope one of these 2 weeks before realising I needed one!)
After something relatively cheap please.

Some amazingly orange NSbikes pedals for my daughter's bike and a bottle of 15wt oil to hopefully make my forks a tad less sticky...

Just trying to think of some nearby trailside art - I think all the others can be fitted into about a 5 mile local loop, given good luck with birds of prey!

Sadly for me, or possibly luckily for my bank balance, it's a medium...

My nice road bike is a ti omega radius. Bought it on singletrack for a relative bargain 10 years ago and the frame is still going strong - groupset and wheels have been replaced though. I still have my custom made Omega Radius. Could never part with that bike but need some decals! Mine was also a c...

My nice road bike is a ti omega radius. Bought it on singletrack for a relative bargain 10 years ago and the frame is still going strong - groupset and wheels have been replaced though. I got ti because I'd always wanted a ti bike and then one came up in my size. It always looks good in an understat...

That looks absolutely amazing, and makes me really want to take off for a few days to do something similar. Thank you!

I use citric acid. Same as a lemon but comes in powder form. London water is very hard. But it's the best tasting of all the water I've ever had :-bd :geek: Really? London water has always tasted rank to me, and makes nasty tea complete with scum on it... Yorkshire or Welsh water is infinitely nice...

Finally got round to getting a lonely square which took me up to 11*11 from 10*10. A couple of slightly circuitous commutes home next term should get me to 15*15, as I've currently got small patches of missed squares. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/3jlvuacxZnjSVsZs90WBHS5m_liFMnvFBJ6ZPz0V9nbyAOuw...

Robinsons squeezy squash? Ultra concentrated, think the bottles are 50ml and make loads...

Silenced the noisy internal cables in my gravel bike. Wrapped a load of foam around the cable and them shoved back inside the downtime, along with some long ended cable ties. Took it down a bumpy downhill singletrack this evening, and oh so much nicer!

I had this trouble for ages, so eventually got an old pair of the full finger gloves I liked (specialized BG I think) and cut the fingers off...

Just done similar to raise the cage in my tandem so it would fit on the roof rack. 15x3mm steel strip, 3 holes in it with the top one threaded. First hole just to the lower frame mount, second through the cage and strip and into the upper frame mount, third one has the top bolt of the cage. This mov...

Would you be interested in a rolling chassis type of setup? Thinking of selling my large fatty trail, with rigid forks, wheels, tyres and chainset.

I generally wear bib shorts, but when I'm not in lycra then I've found that the breathable mesh ones on Groupon are good.

While it does look pretentious, and I'm not sure I'd do it (Mrs E being a serious hater of bugs) I can see the appeal of this. Yes, it's quite spendy but that's for 2 people and you could easily spend the same amount on a crappy room in a noisy city hotel. Given the right weather it could be an exce...

James, that lools amazing! Just needs campagnolo record and it's perfect... Is anyone on here the person who was riding through ringinlow near Sheffield on Sunday afternoon in a BB jersey (black and green one, in case there were more than 1!) I was trying to say hi as I drove past but it was a tad b...

Those Ribble egr bikes look great. I've been trying to persuade my dad to get one - he's said he'll get one when he is "old"... Currently he's 71 and doing about 15 miles a few times a week.

Main reason is that I want one to commute on!

After some pondering, I can't help think that a change has taken place ... once, people 'wild camped' as an integral part of a journey but recently, it seems that the 'camp' has become the prime objective and any journey required to facilitate it is an inconvenience ... Exactly - I guess it's the d...

I sadly have to agree. I find the use of "wild camping" to mean sleeping in a van in a scenic layby (which I have no problems with, and used to do when I had a van pre-kids) is a major part of the issue. Bivying? Kipping out? Power nap by the trail? Can't really think of another suitable bit of nome...
