Re: What you done t' your bike today
Fitted up some cheap Sonder Camino forks (from the Alpkit eBay store) to my Pickenflick. 5mm shorter with 5mm more offset. They feel fine and although the handling feels different, I couldn't say if it's better or worse. They have some benefits over the old ones though which is why I swapped - more ...

Re: Gravel/mtb/road - organised events/challenges
For the road (and occasionally gravel) side of things, it's hard to look past the Audax calendar events

Re: Suggest some winter mtb boots?
One of the reasons the OMW boots work so well for me is the removable inner. Boots will always get wet in Yorkshire but the inners dry easily overnight on the radiator, which is much faster than any other winter boots I've tried. Probably not the the best for wet, multi-day rides, unless you have a ...

Re: Suggest some winter mtb boots?
....Btw I do have a pair of Bontrager OMW, and whilst they do keep my feet warm as, the inners are more than damp after a proper day out in wet weather. These are my go to winter boots .. as long as it’s dry But, for a 240+ mile road ride Dave. Bit heavy? I pretty much lived in mine last year, incl...

Re: 29+ mudguard options
I've recently fit bluemels 75s to my Stooge for MTB commuting. Coverage is ace but I've pinged the clips off the front twice in as many rides by rolling over smallish obstacles. Probably not the best things for any sort of tech riding but it's nice to arrive with clean feet and legs

Re: BB200 2024
I managed to get back in time for my first ever black badge, which I'm dead chuffed with. The apparently straightforward route was actually quite tough and there were plenty of those little touches that make the BB what it is. Well done!! You're not alone in finding the route tougher than expected....

Re: BB200 riders - bring money.
Ow much does a good old fashion 'quid' weigh pls Jon. I'm thinking that if I paid a quid and saved some weight. 2 other riders might get through on that. Shaving alot of weight. 8.75g. A decent power to weigh ratio but unfortunately, using the mighty pound to pay for others would count as gear-shar...

Re: BB200 riders - bring money.
Considering the mass of individual coins, it might be worth paying a little extra and saving a few grams. For example, a 10p weighs 6.5g and a 20p weights a mere 5g. Therefore carrying 2x 20p coins and leaving a 10p tip represents a saving of a full 1.5g compared to the common 10p + 20p combination!...

Assuming that there's no secrecy around the route this year... I sent an enquiry about food service times to the Red Lion, just shy of 150km (200km route).

Re: BB200 2024
Barely touched the MTB this year and not done half as much riding as usual so it should be interesting. Looking forward to whatever it brings, it's always a good weekend
