Made for tractors, probably with flecks of tractor tyre in it, seals gashes upto 7mm and costs an entire 7 quid - for a litre! https://www.abbeygardensales.co.uk/webupload/ABBEYGAR/CUSTOM/SDJTRADING/LARGE/sd-0841.jpg I came to know of this stuff from the guy who posts the Rough Stuff Fellowship arch...

in 1994 Cycle Courier World Championships were held there, I still bear the scars.

You were there? I was there! I led the after-party ride into soho. The arrests were not my fault!

Those very long in the beard may remember a product called TuffyTape. It was a kind of thick felt that worked as a tyre liner. Those that used it attested to it's awfulness and that the advertising strap-line used by the producer was accurate in the wrong way. "Nothing works better than TuffyTape" h...

A good idea produced by roadies who've only ever ridden in the most conservative manner. What's the coasting position on hte nubike? Whatever, it's not going to be as stable or as tunable as on a standard transmission, and for this reason its dead in the water. Can you imagine riding a rough descent...

Oh yes. Would love that. All the fun of trikes is in the corners and fighting (playing with) the natural tendency to instability. Only thing is it's made of pig-iron and the battery would only get you about 10 miles. 10 miles of insane shitz'n'giggles mind. Youd better take a ton of cheap rear mechs...

Excellent!

Got a well used Flite Ti that wouldn't cost you much. Want some photos?

Ooh yes please. Is well used a way of saying shagged? Lol

I've got a Flite Genuine Gel for sale:
viewtopic.php?t=14893

Thanks but I'm after the original/copy of.

I'm after a Thomson inline seatpost, 27.2mm, black. 330mm ideally but longer would do also.

Also after a Flite Ti in black.

Anyone got either to move on?
Cheers.

Lithium or AA rechargeable. My 600 will do up to 18 hours on a good set with a few power-saving options enabled. Have just got myself an Oregon 600 and have enabled some power saving functions. I'd like to see if I can improve things further, so Which have you enabled? Thanks. This page https://www...

Please elaborate.

You can't do that to a Lady!

19kg. Not just the wheel size that makes them roll over everything then.

I'd like a go on one.

Why do vegans always have to mention the fact that they are vegan?

I've seen someone else waiting and waiting.......and waiting for a RIbble 725. Currently thinking of asking for a refund apparently. Lovely looking bikes even so. The Fairlight Strael is certainly rideable on rougher ground though it's meant as more of a road bike, if you were riding most of the tim...

I use the 5L Exped drybag that my PJs live in (merino baselayers and warm socks). Remove contents, refill with folded wool cycling tops, close to include some air. Slide the bag into a buff. It ends up about travel pillow sized, but traps heat, gives soft support without being bouncy, and isn't clag...

Question now is, what does a "BP groupie" look like, so I can recognise one when they turn up unannounced in the middle of the night asking to share my ditch.... Wellies, multi-coloured hand knitted and died jumper, grubby waterproof overcoat, unkempt hair, wild eyes and smile, rucksack containing ...

Serviced the tubelessness of my tyres. You know the way old club-men used to have gear ratios written on the white bit at the bottom of their front mudguard? Is there an equivalent for recording when you last topped up? I think I'm going to start recording it in felt-tip on the top of my downtube. O...

Fire-extinguisher tip is a good one for work. Must remember to keep one when they go out of test and we buy more. Mad that buying new can be cheaper than testing. At home I have scuba cylinders I could use, but I'm always doing this stuff at work. Now you've got me thinking....I do have some redunda...

Cleaning the gunk off the bead is fun - now to try and get a seal again. Dark art.....

How about that? I got rid of most of the dried goo, teased the bead into place, refilled and up it went, easy.
It's witchcraft I tell you.

Thanks for that. I'm being an idiot and slipping back into the old mindset.

Note to self: the point of tubeless is there's no tube!

I mean tubeless of course. I had a major bead seal killing burp while riding down to the Wayfarer monument the other weekend and had to fit a tube as there was no way I was getting a good seal. The quandary I have now is do I just leave it in for the Dirty Riever this weekend or take the tube out an...

Pearl Izumi. The quality of kit costing way more, small logo's, not shouty, long lasting, comfy.

An added bonus is that noone knows it's a brand owned by shhhhhhh-imano. Well, I didnt till recently.

After lots of procrastination I’ve ordered a Deschutes Tarp :-bd with my new über mat my sleep kit comes to 1169g plus pegs and a ground sheet. Hopefully under 1.5Kg all in. On the wayfarer trip I ditched the revelate tangle and took the normal kit plus food, I’m hoping I can do a multi day trip wi...

Thanks both. By headroom I really mean from a lying position. As in, amount of headroom I have to move around in when undertaking a succession of naps and moving from back, to side, to the other side etc.

Another vote for Alpkit Merino (and a huge thumbs up for that hipster brand merino, if you can get it in a sale). True, it gets sweaty if you're working hard, but it beats the crap out of synthetic tops. I've got one or two synthetic tops but I almost shudder when putting them on so natural fibres f...

So....can I just check - I'm sure I saw this info in this thread somewhere - Between the SMD Luna Solo and the Deschutes, the Deschutes is the longer of the two right? Being a person of restricted shortness (but some extra height) I need as much space (headroom) as I can get. I'm happy with a single...
