Moved to correct forum. Doh! https://bearbonesbikepacking.co.uk/phpB ... hp?t=24897

oops.

bump. Still available

Men's size small (fits more like a medium. Its bigger than the medium Arkterxyz it was meant to replace) electric blue. Bought last winter and used once. Too big for me. Cost £150. Selling for £90 posted

Roswheel bikepacking bags on SP. Not heard of them before, tempted by the saddle bag/rack but don’t think it’ll work with my suspension seatpost. They've been around a few years. Been on SP before too I think. You might be able to tell whether or not it'll work from the video. Says the clamp can be...

Like the Velocity Blunts, they're only 30mm internal.

I may say that the midges are migrating south - I've had two midge horrors this year south of the border

I grew up in the Durham Dales and midges could be a horror there 50 years ago.

I've no personal experience of them (when has that been an issue with internet recommendations) but I have friends who say good things about their Velocity Blunt rims. They are 35mm wide as well. https://www.velocityusa.com/product/rims/blunt-35-584 Pretty tough by all accounts. I discounted those ...

Currently running Race Face ARC 35's which have been 100% reliable over the last 25,000 miles but having twatted the front hard enough twice this year to put a minor flat spot on the bead shelf I'm thinking I should probably start looking for a replacent. Sadly the ARC 35's are no longer available, ...

My Alpkit tapered dry-bag did much the same very quickly which is why I did'nt recommend it originally. I've never had any item whether a dry-bag, tent rain fly or other that has been durable with these kind of taped seems. The only thing I trust to be truly waterproof and reasonably durable is RF w...

Not mine, but there's a Jones bar on Fleabay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156327571976?itmmeta=01J4AB670DG5HK1E6PM15VF7T1&hash=item2465d97208%3Ag%3AMX0AAOSwcBtmp2bX&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4JniQjQyedDBG0n8pgS0%2FPcgCv6%2FOu0VDfm%2F4IF5QTh4%2BgUlnjtv0LWk3%2BgyywcIYRmMANXlsu3zw6u0TNybwWSoFHXk5WbD3...

SRAM components on Sport Pursuit

re-advertising this after initial buying dissapeared.

These I think. https://7mesh.com/products/mens-mk3-half-short I would definitely probably size up but maybe the ones I have are just right. Just feel that if I had gone up there would be less stretch and tugging at em to get em on! Thanks Shaf. I'd forgotten about these. Bought a couple of pairs on...

I bought a few pairs of the Vulpine Mens Merino Padded Boxers from Sport pursuit last year which lasted a predictably short length of time before getting holes worn in them (approx 3000 miles each pair) Anyone know of any more robust substitutes. I'm tired of damp smelly lycra and going without a ch...

Very good life out of that there neglected chain Woodsmith. What lube are you using. I'll assume an oil based that you regularly just top up and wipe down! Smoove wax lube in a bottle. Unfortunatly I think it might have gone out of production? It was over three long mostly dry extended trips of aro...

Gave it a wash after 5000 km round Spain and France. Greased the front hub, binned the chain at 0.75% after 15,000 km , oil change on the Rohloff , new larger 203mm front disc (up from 180) and fresh pads. All ready for another 5000 km of neglect.

Have same punp.amd agree with all of that. Unscrewing your valves is a lezyne pump design issue l. only.take it with my + tyres for the volume and would not expect it to re bead any tyre. You can get a push on presta chuck ( works well)...but if you do it needs to be stored separately from the pump...

i do think a fee is involved but its safer than dumping it on a street

I think it closed at least 7 years ago when I walked the WHW

I've been thinking for a while about taking the bike to the US but I've read sop many tales of the TSA opening boxes and things getting damaged/going missing its really putting me off.
Any possitive or negative experiences? Is it only on exit or on entry, or both ?

Don't take any type of stove that isn't immediately extinguishable by turning off. In fact if you get caught with any naked flame away from designated areas recreativa, you will be heavily fined. The countryside is like a tinder box, especially in the south but also here in Cataluña. If you must, s...

I'm planning on spending a couple of months in Spain (Altravesur, Spanish Divide, etc) and am undecided on which stove to take. I hate going miles off route hunting for gas canisters and wondered how widely available the screw on type are. What about meths? What's it called in Spanish? Is it purple?...

Extraordinarily unlikely to be asked for proof, but surely a credit card with a large enough limit to cover this person day is good enough anyway? I vaguely recall being asked for similar going into the USA years ago, and showing a bank statement and credit card was enough. The guidance adds that t...
