Firstly, attempt to get preferred bike in working order. Then failing that, ditto second preference bike. Assuming that happens, I then have to travel 80 miles north of the start to get all the kit I stupidly left in my brother's van after Moors One Hundred.

So I'll be happy just to start.

i need some fat bike mudhuggers....... anyone ?

Sorry, not got any for sale, but I use these. They don’t stop all the crap, but they do stop enough of it.

I’ve got a C13, and it’s just ok. I have cheaper saddles that are just as comfortable and as light. Only real upside is that it’s the nylon one, so therefore waterproof.

Thanks for posting Allen. Superb film that really captures what it was like. Also, You got a few seconds of the back of me early on in the film

WTF, this is unbelievable and unacceptable that he only got a caution.

Thanks si. The bog at the end was a nice touch. 😂😂 Other than a broken saddle all was well. Hopefully specialized will replace under warranty. https://share.icloud.com/photos/0tyVMVy-AugaShyMLYhwyOGHw#Whitby_-_Goathland Managed to somehow miss that. I think we went off track at the end, but I’m rat...

Where did you buy the framebag from? You can get them off Amazon. It has some nice features, like the internal shelf, and a bright orange interior lining. I'm not sure how waterproof it it but it's a decent bag overall for the money https://www.amazon.co.uk/Moosetreks-Bikepacking-Commuting-Extremel...

A Moosetreks framebag turned up today just in time for tonight's solo bivvy in a local wood. For £45 it's very good value. It's not Alpkit quality but it fits my Big Bro like a custom made one. A good point to it is that is has an internal divider, and measuring it up, I'm pretty sure one of those ...

Who else is going to this and who will be camping in Goathland on the Friday night?

Starts tomorrow with entries including Sofiane Sohelli, Ulrich Bartholmos, (who beat him in the TransPyrenees) ex TdF pro Christian Meier who got sunstroke last year, and big surprise triathlon god Alister Brownlee. Seems many are still thinking it's a gravel race with drop bars and narrow tyres, m...

Brilliant. That really put a smile on my face

Unfortunately, I can't find the right XT mech either

I’m going to try the XT derailleur with the GX Eagle shifter and see how I get on. I shall report back.

So if I get an XT M8100 it should work with my GX Eagle cassette, but I might need to change to an XT shifter as well?

Unfortunately not an option as GX Eagle uses an XD driver.

Which part have you snapped?

I’ve gone down the route of make do and mend as found a couple of spares and repairs ones on eBay.

The derailleur body has snapped in two

My GX eagle rear derailleur snapped yesterday. So, I'm after a new one plus a cassette.

Does anyone know anywhere with stock in the UK?

IIRC, I think Jay Petervary has also had breathing problems.

Lael must surely have a problem, she's not moved in over 11 hours.

This is from their IG page. Chris our first place rider encountered some significant and dangerous challenges on parts of the route near Loch Lomond last night and this morning. With the weather continuing to be dreadful, conditions are worsening and as a result of this and in the interest of all ri...

Lots of Sparks back catalogue after seeing The Sparks Brothers film last night.
