Fredbar aero bar attachment for sale

Fredbar for sale as seen on Bikepacking.com and other site's and used by the likes of Jay Petervary on the Divide. It's an ingenious solution for giving a more comfortable position when using an aero bar for bikepacking. It attaches to your steerer above your stem which lifts the aero bar position u...

Fred Bars for sale (new)

I'm selling a couple of brand new Fred Bars. A great little attachment for clip on TT bar's, which gives a far better position for using them as comfort bar's as it's more rearward and higher. It attaches to your steerer above the stem so you will need a couple of inches steerer above your stem. Dir...

F/S Revelate 14L Terrapin drybag

Seen light use no signs of wear I'm selling because I bought it before I ended up buying the Terrapin harness that came with one so I don't need two. I'm asking for £20

Re: 2nd City Divide

I've found that it would be about £30 cheaper for me to hire a car one way from Stoke and drop it off in Glasgow than getting a train.

Re: Gravel porn

https://photos.app.goo.gl/c6QmDvypSa4oJyhg6 I'm a little sad to say my hardtail has taken a back seat since I bought my Salsa Warbird. It's got a little bit of extra cushion from the Redshiftsports Shockstem and Ergon seatpost and I love it. Most of my mtb rides always had a significant amount of ro...

Re: Is this being unreasonable

If your convinced and can prove that they have leaked then no it's not unreasonable in my opinion. The only place I would say they could possibly leak is the cleat area?

Re: Gravel bike gearing

If your riding is more akin to mtbing and you're reasonably fit then you're maybe best off with a 1x set-up where you can get away with a larger chainring and still be able to get up the climbs? But if a good proportion of your mixed surface riding includes more road then you're probably best with a...

Re: Dedicated bikepacking bike... 1x or not?

To be fair there isn't much difference between 1x and 2x now at the low end. My mtb which is just used for bikepacking these days is 2x10, 34-20 (the 20t granny is a Mountain Goat which you have to do a bit of filing on the crank to get it to work) with 11-36 cassette gives me a granny gear inch of ...

Re: Seatpost bag, differences

One of the best seat post racks I used before seatpost bags became readily available in the UK was a Bontrager one which was light and very sturdy and once bolted up never budged! They were about £15 at the time but the drawback is that the load hangs out over the back wheel which has more of an aff...
