Read it, looks like a ranger it is ,is it just as much a sh#t to get on as the trail blazers are to get off

Rim width is the standard 35 mm it's a 17 longitude so it's on a double , don't like 1x on my trail bike I took it off and put that back to 3x9 so not going down that route with this bike ,( maybe I'm just getting old and see it as a solution to a problem that doesn't exist I have now exposed myself...

If Northwind is about he can definitely help if not has anybody else had any experience of putting a 3" tyre on the back of a longitude and what's the chain clearance like as I do like my granny gears , looking to replace the trail boss with something with a better profile to protect the sidewa...

Will take the ortlieb accessory pouch please PM me who to send PayPal to

Think it's 3.2 lizard skins on my Boardman cx with 35 tyres and it's comfortable enough for 20/30 miles of tow bank ( very few are actually tow paths by me)/ bridleways

Always used the thick lizard skins tape on drop bars and never had bars more than 740 mm so I don't know why I never cut them down when I got the bike , now they are at 720 and with those grips the last couple of rides have been fine ,now it's just to find a solution to stop the screws in my ankle f...

Got the gs2 by mistake but the little endies are quite comfortable , after a few little tweaks of the grips they seem to have stopped the problem

Back to 95kg - 0.5 from last week hopefully it's gonna be 1/2 a kilo every couple of weeks

For me as just starting out was not to much about weight saving but getting kit I could use 90%of the yr it's been quite a long process to get reasonable kit at the right price , managed to get a exped down mat for £60 in Gaynor outdoor sale ,got a vango 3 season down bag ( not the best I know but o...

As long as no one is on holiday off my shift I'll get the time booked next week ,any of the dates for sailing are fine as booking 4 gives me 12 off ,I love 4on4off

There's the minotaur trail at coed y brenin it's 3 loops at about 3 km each so if after 6 k and they want to go back it's not a case of trying to look for the fastest way back to the car park , I found trail centers the best bet with my young fella for the same reasons you stated he likes getting ou...

Looking like a good trip, i often go to the MotoGP as my birthday day treat. The ferry is about the same as the car parking charges as silverstone l! A bit early to commit but may be up little trip, we need some more slow people though :-bd If shifts work or can sneak in some sick time I'll be in ,...

Some ergon grips recommended by ton ,try them out tomorrow and hopefully it will stop me spending on alt bars They are good but.....I used to get numb hands after about 5 miles, tried jones bars, answer 20/20 bars, high rise stems ect. Salsa woodchippers did it for me. Don't think the wood chippers...

Bars chopped down to 720 and a blast along the tow paths / banks yesterday and they seem a bit better dragons ordered so Tues I'll give my 70 mile chase loop ago and see if the palms are any better cheers for the advice and offer of grips

Cheers piranha but after checking the measurements I think I'm the larger size

Just wondering if there's any Irish boys or lasses on here , my brother in law is moving from Dublin upto the Meath Cavan border planning a trip over around April time once he's sorted out the farm house , I know it's a bit finnicky where you can ride in the south so does anyone have any suggestions...

A monkii cage from Wales

Them are the ones I was thinking of

I was gonna cut them down when I got it back in September as my others are 730mm and no pain ( albeit on a bouncy bike) ,are you on about the dragons with the palm pad if so off to the lbs before my ride today
Cheers ton

Getting a slight pain in my right palm after about 50 miles , still got the original genesis bars on my longitude , not sure whether it's the original grips ( quite thin) , whether it's that I haven't cut the bars down still at 800mm or if I need to go down the alternative bar route ,thinking of cut...

12/01 95.5kg + .5 kg too many take outs due to other things happening at home hopefully in the next 2 weeks back on track

They are a mint idea , so by the end of Feb I'll have my first homemade bit of gear it may not look pretty but it'll be functional ( a bit like me really )

Just answered a thread on stw about material for a frame bag I suggested HGV curtain material , now when I'm back in work and on nights I have a abundance of this material so I got thinking it's easy enough to heat seal the material into the correct shape and then put another thin strip on the edges...
