Yet another happy Joystick owner here (mk12 or 13). It's set to last 24 hours in low mode and I normally only run a be seen light on the bars for road use.

Perhaps Stu should market BBB carbon poles as having double usage as a yard stick for measuring the depth of fords

I quite liked the look of the henty enduro pack that was reviewed a few months ago on BBB. I was going to try one of those once my current deuter pack dies though that might not be for a while.

Doesn’t velo viewer combined with a strava subscription give you that sort of data - I presume that’s what the pro teams are using it for.

Similarly, I’m a 31”-32” waist and the mediums are a good fit so they seem true to the recommended size

...and dropped off some 3/4 waterproof trousers from the madison sale. It looks like I can wear them over bib shorts fine and they even just about fit over baggies too.

Have you fully screwed the head on before pumping? Until I do that I don’t get any pressure reading on mine

Yep, that’s the sound I make too when faced with this problem, normally followed by some mild expletives

^ such cynicism :wink: Heh heh, ooh you old cynic you Mr Paul Guilty as charged, m'luds. For full disclosure, I own a plaid shirt (though never worn it on a bike), ridden a gravel bike across inappropriate terrain (Arkose, thanks James) and a Rab down jacket (one of my favourite bits of kit), and I...

First of all you need to define what you mean by bikepacking - do you mean the mainstream bike manufacturer marketing definition where you have to wear a plaid shirt, dangle your mug, ride a drop-barred gravel bike on less than ideal terrain, display your Rab logos with pride and 'gram your pictures...

I normally get my emergency ones from millets or blacks

Maybe they thought that with the Lauf the bike would be gopping anyway so they might as well go for broke.

My Jacobite historian friend is not a fan of Neil Oliver

I think review copies are the only ones that exist yet

Either that or someone who knows that their lance won't shatter into a thousand sharp splinters of wood.

Back on the other photo, is that a rohloff shifter that's been mounted on the stem faceplate?

Yeah, what idiot goes jousting without a helmet?

I should have said available in the UK rather than manufacturer - the planet x thing was more like what I was after.

I came across this on Path Less Pedaled and I was wondering if anyone had seen anything similar from a UK manufacturer: https://originalfreerange.com/collections/riding-accessories/products/quickdraw-single-co2-holster Being able to swap a pump from bike to bike by attaching it to the bottle cage is...

That iron maiden linked led me to a blast from my past:

0.2nm? I'm getting visions of 90s films with monofilament whips taking peoples heads off (Johnny Mnemonic, I think).

I can't help with the recommendations but I've lost 4 lights while clipped to the wildcat seat harness straps so I've given up on that approach. I've lost a moon, 2 lezynes and a bontrager. They all had a very similar clip arrangement but they've all bounced off.

You'll need one of these I believe.

They do a micro usb one too, it just doesn't seem to be on their website at the moment.

Does the Joystick have a charge-out line? (will go and look them up..). If I could get 2000mah out of the light battery into the Garmin and have enough left for lighting on weekend rides it'd be a wider-ranging bit of kit. You can get a Boost cable to charge devices - just plugs in to the smartport...

I do like the look of that fork. Are those 29x2.4s?

The new scrambler?

You bet'ya.

Trying to decide between a big bro and one of these so it’s nice to see it in the flesh so to speak
