Re: Wanted - Sram 11 spd XD 11-42 casette

I'm just about to remove the original SRAM cassette from my fatbike, as I'm replacing it with a Garbaruk 10-46

It's not done many miles at all (less than 300 I think) but I think it's a SRAM XG-1195 10-42 11-speed. I'll check tomorrow

cheers

Re: Wanted: bike rack for rear of camper

Sadly no towbar, and a water tank is in the way of mounting one.

Frustrating, as I've got a Pendle 4 bike tow bar mount carrier sat in my FiL's barn gathering dust.
