Son hub axles?

I've got a son hub with 15mm bolt through axle, I use a 9mm adaptor for my gravel bike, can I get a 12mm adaptor to apply it to a different fork?

Cheaper to buy a new bike than it is to buy timber as it stands. 😩

WTB Balance bike

Looking for a balance bike for my grandson, not in a rush as he’s only just started walking a few weeks ago so I’m just putting the feelers out now.

Re: Hanging bikes by wheels

All mine are hung by wheels, I normally top and tail them to avoid bar clashes. The only one that is always hung by the rear wheel though has a carbon fork. Not had any issues after 15 years other than bubbles migrating through the hydraulic brake systems but that sorts itself out with a few pumps o...

I wouldn’t of missed the weigh in unless it was serious😉.

Anyhow, leaving early, it meant I could attend the British judo National championships where m...

Re: Wide opening bivi bags

Just got an email from the girl at alpkit, the waterproof zip will cost £50 fitted and the non waterproof zip with storm flap will be approx £70.
She can fit me in mid may :roll: .

Re: Wide opening bivi bags

Think I might as the ideal standard bivi doesn’t seem to exist.
We also talked about bug netting in the opening which would cost the same again.
I mentioned a regular, big toothed zip with storm flap but that was going to be about £50-ish

Closest so far, although I’ve not managed to get to alpkit to see if they’ll modify. I asked this a few years ago and they said no as too busy. I do however have a largish piece of red Hunka material that they sold me. I was going to get an outdoor equipment repairer to cut up the Hunka and put a z...

Re: Wide opening bivi bags

If you want a new event one with a long zip, then I *think* the Mld Soul is the only game in town. My family got me one for Christmas and after a couple of bivy a month uses so far, I'm liking it.... Especially the very long zip. I'm less keen on the fairly small mesh window, but it gets the job do...
