Re: The post man's been ...
Fear not, Wiggle and CRC are alive again, albeit just a re-tread of all the other myriad Mike Ashley websites. You can probably find what you need on the House of Fraser site just as easily!

Re: WTD: 27.5 boost rear wheel
Thanks for the heads-up Shaf, they sound great but I've just got a pair of bargain wheels sorted.

Re: Monks trod - wtf
What a strange decision, and I would expect this added media attention might help to focus thinking around it. As a historical route it deserves preservation, but it's usage by motorised vehicles doesn't match the environmental conditions and the sensitive habitat it crosses. That should really be t...

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
A whim purchase 2nd hand frame arrived. Cheap, and really bloody nice Gen 5 Cotic Soul in mercury silver. Going to run it 120mm mullet, hence the need for a 27.5 wheel. Going to be a pure fun/trail machine, and the Titus will be the XC/all rounder machine. Just want to get it built up and enjoy it, ...

Re: WTD: 27.5 boost rear wheel
Thanks Lazarus, i'm still holding out for just the rear currently, and i've my eye on the Ribble wheelset currently on offer for £99 if I need to get a pair - thanks though. Shaf - if you can confirm the hub and rim/rim internal diameter this does sound interesting so i'd be grateful for pictures. L...

Re: WTD: 27.5 boost rear wheel
Thanks, not sure if they can be converted? I have to say i'm not really after a carbon rim but a kinlin rim might be good depending on internal width..?

WTD: 27.5 boost rear wheel SORTED
Looking for a decent-ish 27.5 rear wheel, needs to be:
Boost 148x12
Shimano HG freehub (or swappable)
Not too garish colour!
Decent width, preferably over 25mm, ideally 30mm. 40mm+ wide for plus tyres won't fit intended frame or tyre choice.
Thanks

Re: WTD: On One rigid forks, circa 2011 vintage
There's a complete inbred 29er being sold on STW and it comes with the carbon fork as a spare pparently, so maybe they could be persuaded to part with the fork?

Re: Similar but cheaper (rear rack content)
Think the only other option with three pack mounts is a similar price, the Tumbleweed T-rack or mini pannier rack [just seen they're out of stock anyway]...otherwise you're looking at a tailfin alloy rack with those mounts, at an extra £100+. https://www.wizard.works/product-category/accessories/bas...

Re: So this is who lights fires ...
What a strange video (the instagram one). Drag a load of expensive gear to a nice location, make a ridiculous fire, burn your socks, get cold, don't sleep, trudge back to the car vowing to buy some more stuff. Inspirational.

Re: The post man's been ...
Also delivered the bargain Ragley fork - which seems pretty good for the money. Not used a fork with an integrated crown race before, let alone a carbon one, but will see how it goes. Also arriving are some cable guides to use on the fork mounts, as I refuse to use internal hose routing on forks. Ba...

Re: Recommend me a decent stills camera
Good further points on image processing, thank you. Shooting Raw+JPEG is a good point, as the RAW file is there if needed. To be honest i've only really stuck with JPEGs in any case, mainly as i've never had a decent enough PC/Laptop to do processing or use as a photo software platform. I've also no...

Re: Proposed Wind Farm near Glaslyn
I think what this whole discussion brings up is the wider issue that for many decades, UK energy policy/strategy has been lacking on many fronts. Politics clearly comes into it on many occasions, but the upshot is where we find ourselves; which is not enough headroom in supply, older sites being kep...

Re: Proposed Wind Farm near Glaslyn
The other issue with nuclear being the cost and time to build, putting it out of near-term strategy. This comes alongside old plants going offline/being decommissioned. Just look at Hinckley Point C, started 2017, commission date 2029-31 at best. The cost overrun means an increased cost per MWh, not...

Re: Proposed Wind Farm near Glaslyn
Yeah carbon payback is a good point, and with solar too. I think with old solar panels they struggled to pay themselves back, but modern more efficient ones are 1 to 4 years apparently. And obviously with fossil fuels there is no payback, just net increase in Co2. The biomass/wood power stations are...

Oooh, some interesting Salsa stuff, i'm hovering over the cutthroat fork - very tempting indeed. Can even overcome the flat mount on it quite easily...Though have just seen there is a recall issue with them, so that might need checking first! On the Sonder PSA - very surprised to see them on Sports ...
