Sorry the brakes have sold

Not got a 2 but on the 1 it is just reinforced material, there is a gromit on the bottom of the innertent for the base of the pole to locate.

I really dont know as i cant guarantee they work due to the calipers so they are effectively leavers and spare pads, £20 posted?

I also have if anyone is interested a pair of shimano zee brakes front and rear, with a few sets of spare pads, I think that all the calipers suffer from the microleak problem there are 2 fitted and one spare that i took off previously.
sold

Are they shimano? Ive had this problem a few times with shimano brakes, i tried changing pads but it kept coming back, i even changed one of the calipers which cured it for a while but then it came back after a time. I think its the micro leak problem as ive just had them apart and can see oil on th...

Trying to get rid of a couple of old frames before I end up cutting them up and turning them into other things. Free to a good home (just pay postage or collect) Titus el guapo 29er frame: size large 140mm travel frame not as long low and slack as new bikes but still good fun/lockdown project for s...

If I had a man cave that big i think id be tempted to partition some bits off si i could have a dirty area for working/workshop part. Then have a walkin wardrobe/camping gear store, then go for a bike cupboard where they are in two layers and stored in pull out draws like you see people put in the b...

All too small for me

Shimano deore for 10s 11-42 was £30ish from merlin the other week, the nearest sunrace were more expensive.

On one of our bikes we run dt swiss rws skewers, the 9mm and 10mm ones in qr dropouts, as we had hubs that we could change the end caps on. This works as a nice halfway house for us.

Hopefully goal one is to just ride more young family has reduced riding a fair bit. Events: The winter event, Then the wrt (possibly with packraft) Jenn ride in the summer Malvern Classic at the end of August, Then the salop sludger in December. Im hoping to use the winter event to try and kick off ...

Its good, you just use the forecast to decide what to take not weather to go out.
Rain = packraft
Sun = bike
Rain/sun = take both.

R2 bike have some reasonable deals on fatbike tyres, 45nrth van helgas for around £66 including delivery depending on the exchange rate

Could you possibly pm me some pictures of these please.

Cheers Alec

I think it depends on what you want it for as I think there are two distinct groups of fat bikes now, there seem to be trail oriented geometry ones and then bikepacking/adventure/lots of xc type miles ones. The calibre dune is good but only if your short, the size large is similar to many small endu...

I found that the aquaduct is actually less scary in a packraft as its lower to the side than a canal boat so its quite difficult to see over. As long as you are on it first I think you have right of way, as you only enter if the exit is clear. Was a great trip and most of the canal boats had already...

John, I would definitely be up for this, i have a packraft so wouldn't need to borrow or hire.

Im after some advice on bivi trousers, more specifically what you wear to bivi in. Im thinking of using my quilt for the wrt which is going to be on the cold side so after some suitable leg wear. My options as i see it are to go with something like rab powerstretch/patagonia r1 tights or some synthe...

Full change of brake pads as the braking material had rusted off the backing plate on one pad.

I think I would be up for this as I dont have anyone to ride with this year, would you mind sending me the information so I could pick between this and the shorter group.

Cheers

I've got a couple of old frames for sale. First up: Titus el guapo 29 size large Comes with rear axle and shock mounts but no shock, builds up to a 140mm front and back trail bike. In good condition apart from a small amount of damage from the front mech by the bb on the swing arm, and a few paint c...

Banshee phantom,
Rear dropouts are changeable between boost and non boost (potentially between 29 and 27+ as well)

If you had access to a pack raft id be tempted to try and play snakes and ladders is Scotland, ride till you reach a suitable river, bimble down it when bored ride to the next and keep going and see where you end up.

Ive got a maxi monster or mega monster using a ritchey commando with alpkit bomber bars and a ss set up 30:18, its great fun for a mixed or different ride.
