Maybe they thought that with the Lauf the bike would be gopping anyway so they might as well go for broke.

My Jacobite historian friend is not a fan of Neil Oliver

I think review copies are the only ones that exist yet

Either that or someone who knows that their lance won't shatter into a thousand sharp splinters of wood.

Back on the other photo, is that a rohloff shifter that's been mounted on the stem faceplate?

Yeah, what idiot goes jousting without a helmet?

I should have said available in the UK rather than manufacturer - the planet x thing was more like what I was after.

I came across this on Path Less Pedaled and I was wondering if anyone had seen anything similar from a UK manufacturer: https://originalfreerange.com/collections/riding-accessories/products/quickdraw-single-co2-holster Being able to swap a pump from bike to bike by attaching it to the bottle cage is...

That iron maiden linked led me to a blast from my past:

0.2nm? I'm getting visions of 90s films with monofilament whips taking peoples heads off (Johnny Mnemonic, I think).

I can't help with the recommendations but I've lost 4 lights while clipped to the wildcat seat harness straps so I've given up on that approach. I've lost a moon, 2 lezynes and a bontrager. They all had a very similar clip arrangement but they've all bounced off.

I looked it up on their site and there's no mention of power-out cables.

You'll need one of these I believe.

They do a micro usb one too, it just doesn't seem to be on their website at the moment.

Does the Joystick have a charge-out line? (will go and look them up..). If I could get 2000mah out of the light battery into the Garmin and have enough left for lighting on weekend rides it'd be a wider-ranging bit of kit. You can get a Boost cable to charge devices - just plugs in to the smartport...

I do like the look of that fork. Are those 29x2.4s?

The new scrambler?

You bet'ya.

Trying to decide between a big bro and one of these so it’s nice to see it in the flesh so to speak

There seems to be a large number of people on really quite skinny tyres going from the bikepacking.com article

I've used the 15l ortlieb bar bag between drops - just had to put a few extra rolls in it so it was probably closer to 10l capacity.

I put resolutes on the bike last winter but one to replace a set of riddlers and I never did get round to swapping them out again for the summer. I've even done the coast to coast by road with them on because I was too lazy to swap them back out again. A really nice grippy all round tyre that's cope...

Did you miss the venturemax xl?

Width: 520mm
Drop: 102mm
Reach: 75mm
Drop flare: 24°

Don't forget to make sure all electronics he wants taking are fully charged and you have a spare cache battery.
Make sure you've got enough snacks, because hell hath no fury like a hangry tired child in the outdoors.

I’m out of the boot and doing light physio so will probably look at the scales soon to see the damage

Cheery:

I've got the day off.

No so cheery:

Get a phone call saying they're rolled back an entire customer update because a view which didn't exist on the test system is now broken and can I just parachute in and fix all the mess by Monday when it goes live again.

Is it just me or does that 'deer' look as though it's been shot several times.

I originally heard that one in relation to testing concord's windscreen umpteeen years ago.

I had one friend that had them done that used to wear glasses for driving but that was as much to do with a slight sensitivity to glare as much as a mild distance correction
