have 3 Chronicles now. Might be able to surrender one or two

Let me know, depends on condition, price etc pm some photos

I'm still running one of the other tyres you sold me, unfortunately the side walls didn't cope on the rear. What's the side wall like on the chronicles?

Anyone want to surrender any 27.5 x 2.8-3.0

Not sure that gets Stuart's approval

I'm sure it will

BB200/300 are not normal events (helps if you get that before Strata Florida in the dark), Other events need to have their own vibe as do Stu's other ones

Looking forward to blue skies and dusty trails.......

mostly

Shudders..............

Don't worry about it, enjoyed your video on BB200

Hopefully you won't be taking route planning tips from Stu

Entered as I missed the early bird, slightly disappointed in the lack of a discount code

Nobbly nick still available?

Was musing about dynamo setups and thinking about pedalcell (even if if looks a bit odd to me) and spotted this

Islabikes is a real shame, i've not got one yet, but was thinking about it for my eldest. They really have shaped the kids bike market. It's also to their credit that they're winding down the business with no creditors, and will honour warranties. Shame for the staff of all involved of course. Did ...

Yeah but she regained them with wholemeal rolls

very enjoyable breakfast with a view instead!

Extra points for black pudding, lost them however with the use of generic brown sauce rather than HP....

I maybe looking for the proverbial MOAS

You are, they all have their compromises

Just get a few different ones and rotate to fit the weather

Topeak do a think called a DP Mount which lets you use a seatpack with a dropper.

Same, they work

Not really on topic at this point, but that's not how it works. I go all night because I can't sleep (was the same on the BB300 as the BB200). That doesn't mean I'm maintaining anything like the pace I could do if I'd have been able to sleep though I get the sleep helps you go faster, however I was...

That way being, that the BB200 is too bloody hard. Yes Stu, you should ease it up and never have one as difficult as the 2014 and 2023 versions ever again. Some of us are trying to earn a black badge, so please have a heart. Next time you plan a route hopefully you include us (we know who we are, d...

I like the OMM as it's stretchy, but tends to be poor a breathing

Paramo best for late autumn winter

Use outdry for summer

someone told me that, in certain circles Bear Bones is viewed as being ‘less than inclusive’ And if you don't understand what they are referring to you can twist yourself in knots trying to work out what the problem is. That's if there is even a problem beyond someone influential in the out group l...

The point I'm getting at is that if you're a guy like me and you're doing something that you want to be inclusive you need to be pro-active about it. You need to be show that the space you're creating is welcoming, and some other spaces will be far more comfortable for some people. You mean manspla...

I'm quite happy with where you are on this, I did well last year and it may have lulled me into a false sense of security for this year where I was better prepared, equipped and fitter. I pulled the plug initially with bedding down and then 20 or so miles later due in part to other factors, optimist...

See it as an expensive lever with a free spare dropper post

I'd work out the max tyre size you will want to fit and work from there as it will eliminate a lot

Unless you are fast, something like a 21hr pace, or bivy then you won't get any resupply options. There is an early shop, they do coffee as well I think to make the shops/ garage you will need to be faster than 21 hour, you get an extra hour with the takeaway If you are slower than that you'll be d...

There was a bit of discussion on Sunday afternoon at the community centre about this. There's a definite feeling that there's a large number who've come to bikepacking through the bike industry's mode of using it to sell stuff. I suspect many of those that Stu talks about would be expecting somethi...

Same bridleway that was clearly visible on site hence why I got confused and had to repeatedly stop to get the phone/map out and try to understand why the GPS track would go into nowhere to only join the same bridleway later on. I just assume that Stu is helping out a PhD student researching how st...

That for me just added to the frustration from making no progress and wasting lot of time having to stop and check the map on my phone to understand whether I was going completely off course or not. Disregarding the issues that made it a bit "special" the general principle that nav needs ...
