Bit of a filter fest but here’s my first outing into Wales for many many months

I like that, a lot...

£600 cranks, to go with their £250 flat pedals...

This is an incomplete list... Works Exped DownMat Lite 5 M Shimano GRX 1x11 Lake MX 237 Endurance Wide Look X-Track Race Carbon Galibier tops - cheap and comfy Doesn't Brand-X Integrated Tapered IS42/IS52 headset - cheap for a reason Brand-X Inline 6061 Seatpost - zero compliance for bouncing over t...

50% off Aussie Grit clothing https://aussiegritapparel.com/ I’ve just bought a couple of gilets and a jersey and They seem very good for the price. Looks like there was a reason why everything was bargain basement... After a challenging period for us at Aussie Grit Apparel it is with a heavy heart ...

I need those forks...

Took it to an actual bike shop, as I'm fed up trying to sort out the headset...



I'm now going for a long walk to gentle simmer.

Oh FFS!!! How hard can it be to find a headset that fits!



I give up...

What do folks make of these Cocoon Down Travel Pillows for £25...? Another option to add to the list...

So it's basically a toss up between the Sierra Designs DriDown Pillow at £25, and the Exped Pillow Pump, also at £25. With the knowledge that either may, or may not, be comfortable, what I'm looking for... Which one to try first...

For a long time, I used a Klymit Kush. I fold it into 3 and put my buff round it to hold it all together. Forms a nice high pillow, so good for side sleepers. Recently I've started to use a Sierra Designs DryDown pillow. Not as light or compact (not stupid either) but feels more like a proper pillo...

... and delivered a box of bits from Germany. Most importantly, a new bottom bracket and headset.

One nice thing about the emergency BaM rules and being in the garden, was the ability to use my full size pillow. On the three actual bivvies I've managed, I've not taken enough extra clothing etc, to stuff into one of the dry bags to use as a pillow. I've been looking at the ones on ULOG , but they...

Nice!

In the meantime, does anyone know what events have been scheduled for September this year? I'm just trying to ascertain overlaps between a proposed Cairngorms Loop 300 group start and anything else. ScotDURO was supposed to be on the 5th and 6th, dunno what's happening with that. The Dirty Reiver w...

A heavy week, for me at least, with over 378 km covered over five rides. I came to the conclusion on yesterday's ride , that I need either, a set of 650b wheels, or a whole new bike. The new bike would be for bikepacking and off road slop rides. mainly so I can run large tyres with proper tread patt...

I generally start of thinking about something in particular, a problem I need to solve or something, but quickly forget about it. I then get engrossed in the ride. Can I sustain this effort on this bit of bridleway? Fucking horses. Stop. Photos. Fucking dogs off the lead. Fucking litter. Oh, what wa...

The large £1.50 bag of chips fits nicely (and I reckon can be eaten on the go but will see now) with space for at least another 150ml (got a few other little bits still in there with the divider.... towards the back)

£1.50 for a large bag of chips...!?! I obviously frequent the wrong chippies...

Technoheads ... Gotta love some Dave Clarke? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8-Wg-LW2wU

Hell yeah! Have all the early stuff on vinyl, total classics...

Doc Scott recently put out this 1994-2001 remasted 31 Records release. Skip straight to "Shadow Boxing" for the reason to buy this. :grin: The whole thing is a chopped up breaks extravaganza as was the old skool style. https://thirtyonerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/1994-2001-remastered?fbclid=IwAR3...

Going to turn into the village mechanic at this rate. Friend popped round the other day holding his left crank arm, not sure how he managed to have to fall off. Long story short, he handed me his credit card and asked me to fix it; he nearly got a villa in Crete as well as this lot: http://media.bob...

John B is class. I'm a massive junglist. Got shelves of drum and bass 12's sat behind me right now. :grin: :-bd Todays listening was: Goldie essential mix from 2007 Four Tet - New energy I missed out on jungle at the time (was far too deep in techno got a mountain of that myself) but am gradually m...
