That's some serious engineering you have going on right there... I'm gonna send a pic to my buddy who's just finishing his level 3 in joinery

From what I gathered and speaking to him, it's mainly a road bike it seems. Replacing his other road bike which is 8 speed Sora or something. Hence I'm trying to encourage him to get gravel friendly as there is a few options of excursions around where he is riding.

Thanks Simon and everyone else.

reccomended this the other week to someone on here. by far your most bike for cash deal at present. stunning value. https://www.paulscycles.co.uk/bikes/mountain-bikes/cube-reaction-pro-hardtail-mountain-bike-2022-greyorange__8925?currency=GBP&chosenAttribute=51210022&gad_source=1&gclid=...

Hi Andy and welcome to the best bikepacking/cycling forum, well, in the world. Soon you'll be getting your first Revelate Design!! Doesn't have to be 1 x 11. 2 x 11 will be just as good and maybe cheaper. Ultegra is the next step up from 105, andy and grx is probably the gravel bike equivalent (whic...

Hello you all lovely bikepacking and gravely type folks :lol: My mate Andy, you know - the one who used to have a Brompton for commuting to work (just kidding Andy, they don't actually know who you are but I'm certain you'll get lots of input) - well he's after a new shiny bike. First thing he menti...

Oh... and happy garage clearout!

Hi Mark. Hoep you're well mate. Any plans at entering the BB200 this year mate. Hopefully I see you there...

This is why I need a blooming good clearout

NB. Thanks Stu...

But... Hopefully once the (old) lockdown project is finally complete I'll/we'll have more wiggle room...

Edit and comment deleted.

Thanks you lot. To be honest I think I screwed up aftwr explaining that I'd put a couple Palestine flags, before the current genocide, on 2 parts of the frame. It got translated as, 'so you screwed up the paintwork'. Along with that I mentioned that half the money was going to charity and the buyer ...

Lots of pics here if anyone is interested

It's a medium. In green. You've probably seen various pics of it on the thread in the last few years but can dig some fresh ones out. Various chips n scrapes but it remains lovely to ride and no dings and worries to report. Tried to sell it over at LFGSS which is where I bought it at during Covid. P...

What a wonderful vid (ignore the way he's performing chest compressions as it's a live person and you wouldn't wanna risk breaking any ribs in this case) that only 189 people have viewed.

Sorry, it's sideways. But shows the point why this new portable device is amazing (pity about the miney hungrys who are marketing it and making it harder to afford, despite more demand/sales).

I used to be the same Ton. But, if you just think of the ABCDE approach as well as the fact that, 'it can't really get any worse (so try to relax a bit)' you'll always be amazing. Usually in hospital when we see a good-survival after (out of hospital) cardiac arrest, the back story will always be so...

James. Not sure if someone has mentioned, but the best (and maybe only) quilt I had was the Hammock Gear quilt. So light but well proprotioned. Loved that thing and if money allows I'll buy another one day. Not sure if it was one of these versions, but from the top of my head it was about 490g, squi...

As someone who has a history of heart issues this is a good idea. Never realise they could be purchased. Also good to know where the nearest is. Less than half a mile from home which is good to know. Ton. A defib is literally so easy to use. Just remember the positioning and maybe a course or two w...

Just did my annual life support course yesterday. Trainer showed us his personal defib which he carries to Rugby matches with him (his mate had a heart attack at the Rugby some years ago with him and another colleague getting on the mates chest/CPR quickly... meaning the mate walked outta hospital w...

Was getting confused with BigBear and this. Lovely name (just checked the routes page ). Thanks again Stuart...

Which one is Goldilocks pls Stu. Is that all them BB200 routes amalgamated into one big shit-pile (no offence, but people get what I mean...maybe). Not that I could ever think to attempt it, whatever it may be

Hi Rich. I have a Brand X dropper. No lever. Works well. Too thick for my SC. You can have it for postage (or a forum donation... whatever you decide) if any good

PM me and I'll get you some stats. Works well (well, it was when I removed it off the Pinnacle).

Thanks James. Yes, fair point you make there too. Sadly I'd never be able to see the country without some serious risk to life and limb. But maybe one day and you're probably right I shouldn't be so tough/harsh on/about Lael. I've no evidence of her acrually supporting the occupation as such and the...

NB. For completenes of information and to be getting it back on topic. No doubt she'll be visiting Israel and maybe even meeting Netanyahu this time. Good for her :sad: Mods: apologies firstly and feel free to delete my post above. Just sick of the one sided sports-washing debate. Suits some but not...
