Not on Twitter. Crumbled to FB as the club (SingletrAction) was doing a lot of stuff and using it quite a bit. It's a good tool if used well for clubs and organising things. Does my head in using it on anything other than a PC though. I know what you mean about the content and need to post stuff Stu...

Getting a Rig7 into its diddy bag is an art. I''ve managed it sometimes but can never remember which way I did it to repeat next time. It definitely has to be folded etc, not just stuffed in, and folded in a particular way. I wonder why Alpkit don't just add a few more centimetres to the stuff sac a...

I saw something like this on the web whilst searching for kettles for the volunteer teams:



Bonkers and yet strangely appealing

Best of luck and chin up, what's the worst that could happen 8-) If I can be of help chairman@singletraction.co.uk or timsellors@googlemail.com will reach me. Not sure what or how as most of my experience is in Yorkshire with FC's Pickering based operations but always happy to chat and the offer is ...

Each to their own 8-)

I also asked for their definition of an "event" so we didn't fall foul in future but an answer was never provided.

Affiliating to British Cycling was easiest way for us to get event insurance. FC fee rates I've heard bantered around range from £3 to £5 per person.

Sorry to hear you've hit problems with harvesting and fees. We encountered the same running the chainless events at Stainburn, despite being a "partner" with FC, a volunteer organisation, building and maintaining trails on their land and the event was not-for-profit. What really irked was ...

I'm fairly ambivalent about food but like a "proper" brew to the point of being prepared to carry fresh milk and Yorkshire Tea bags. I have found the small plastic bottles commonly used to sell single servings of tonic are pretty perfect for carrying fluids for bivi's. They hold what I con...

I have a set of Avid speed dial levers and the corresponding brakes with the funky bracket somewhere. Any use?

No, only the 100 for me and yes, if it's complete then I'll ride it.

And who's in control of completing it ....... oh ........ you canny little bugger

Or get a tarp and any number of the "better value" bivi bags (e.g. the Rig7 and Hunka from Alpkit). A bit more knack to it (but it's not rocket science) but probably more versatile than a coffin / mini tent. Not knocking your choice. Get whatever you feel comfy with and that then helps you...

I can waste hours on hammockforums.net, if you bear a bit of redneck ;-)

Get well soon chap

If it's of interest I have a Spot SS hub built into a 26" wheel with a new 18t Shimano screw one fitted?

My second Titus Fireline frame.

First one was baggy in the seattube (by about 2mm apparently) and On One exchanged without question. Fingers crossed for this one though not had a good look at it yet.

So we need 2 or 3 more. Anyone else then?

Hey Ian, thanks. What's the craic for 3 (assuming FF and Jameso still want them) vests?

What you're admitting to there is having really sweaty feet and baws. Ewwww

Fek me, how weak willed are you

Still, that's two of us. I might have to start another thread

If you are about to order stuff and are prepared to faf a little more then post up here to see if others are interested. I only suggest this as me and FF shared the delivery on some stuff from Enlightened Equipment recently. On some stuff shipping will almost double the cost so this is a way to make...

3 season down bag and full length mat. There are other choices but it's what I'd get to give the maximum comfort in the most likely conditions in the UK. You can always flog / add other variations of this key combo as your experience grows. Others views may vary and much is down to individual prefer...

Grunfors axe stone. I realise my recent purchases make me sound like a potential axe murderer, oops

Wired the garage into the house alarm. It's on when we're asleep.

Can be accomplished easily / cheaply if your system has a wireless function.

For TT bags there's also Revelate Tangle and Alpkit Possum (?). I really like my Tangle which holds a surprising amount. Versatile as well if you have more than one bike.

Postie dropped a big box from CRC that contained 2 pair of socks (Endura merino winter ones) And eBay parcel with a heart rate strap. Midweek training's getting more sophisticated Did you get a seal kit as well? Whilst you're swooping pistons its worthwhile. Trust you've also got the tool / a plan ...

I just read "...maniac..." and wondered when we met

I admit though that after years of trailbuilding I have a bit of a fetish for shovels and stuff
