Re: Cyclocross Bikes
Here's my old Jake that I no longer have (kinda regret getting rid now). Was a great bike. Did a lot of off road on it, cycled the Irish end to end and did a few centry rides and a sportive in roadie mode. http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt348/shawnmcfarlane/1-DSC01946.jpg was a 52 and had a bit ...

FS: Cyclocross gear shifter, Kelly take off
Any use to anyone? Trying to sort out the spares! Shimano r400 8 speed down tube shifter on a kelly take off. Great alternative to a bar end lever for a 1x8 set up, or will take any other down tube lever you fancy Looks like this (just the lever and the bracket, clamps on under your brake lever) £20...

Re: Bars
I'm trying upside down mary bars just now taped up with road tape. Only been a week but I rather like the shape. This is my 1st go at sweep bars and I didn't want to spend out for Jones loops and a new stem. My lights are helmet mounted but I suppose my gps will be at a funny angle when I have my sl...

Re: Life cycle of a bivi beginner
£130 on a Rab infinity down jacket. Have I lost the plot? Just curious but did you consider a synthetic alternative? I genuinely find it odd that someone who loves animals enough to take their dog on a bivi would then buy a down jacket. (I'm sort of in an argumentative mood today :roll: ) Personall...

Used a few times only, think I am a bit lazy and prefer to just fire up my gas stove but this is a cool little stove. £28 posted http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/product577.asp?PageID=1 Reviewed by Stu here (the stainless steel version) - http://bearbonesbikepacking.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/pocket-s...

Re: Forecast looks okay - anyone out?
Weather was good when I got home from work Friday night so I grabbed the bike and headed off to the Eildon Hills (only about 7 miles away). Only a short trip out for the night alone but most enjoyable after a crap week. http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt348/shawnmcfarlane/5-DSC02949-001.jpg Stupi...

Re: Life cycle of a bivi beginner
Never tried taking my black lab thing, he's fine with the biking but don't think he would understand the stopping bit! He'd definately need a coat overnight, fine when he is running and stuff but he get's cold if there is hanging about and it's chilly

Re: The post man's been ...
looks good
did you draw your template so it didn't go any further into the headtube junction than that or is that just how they made it anyway?

Re: Life cycle of a bivi beginner
stu, is there anywhere on that pack to put in any kind of light back pad?
I thought my alpkit gourdon 20 was light till i saw that! though the gourdon is actually very comfy with light loads. I tend to use it with the back pad removed and my air mat folded into the back pad/bladder pocket

Re: MYOG Easy bar bag/headtube anti rub device for £7.99
I bought a Revelate sling before the mountain lion was available and wasn't too impressed with the way it was gonna polish the headtube.
