Re: GPS Unit of choice?
I have a Hammerhead Karoo. Never used Wahoo but it absolutely blows Garmin out of the water in all aspects other than battery life.

Re: Modern Hardtails
One thing that does annoy me with the old school geo is that with a saddle pack it’s impossible to get your bum over the rear tyre. From what I’ve seen / read modern hardtails remove the need to get your butt back as they are so much longer. I’ll check out the Cotics as ideally I want one bike to do...

Re: Modern Hardtails
My el mariachi has very similar geo to the modern Surlys which I was a little surprised by.
I guess the answer is I need to keep that for bikepacking and get something cheap to sling around trail centres with my boy.

Re: Modern Hardtails
Well I’m currently riding a very unfashionable El Mariachi with a 100mm fork and no dropper so even something vaguely sensible like a Solaris Max would be a fairly radical change. The thing I’m looking at is a Ragley Big Al frame (£280) but my main questions are 1) how do these things ride loaded 2)...

After sneering and resisting for years, I’m starting to get a bit curious around these ridiculous looking low low slack things as my son is expressing an interest in trail centres and they do look like fun.
Are they actually any use for bikepacking?

Son delux hub 12mm TA centrelock 32h
As described
This has been built up but is essentially new internally as reconditioned by the manufacturer in Germany with all the bits replaced.
Bought in error - I need the Son 28.

Salsa Warroad 54.5 - any interest
I bought a 54.5cm Warroad 105 700c direct from the importer earlier in the year. It’s the red frameset. I’ve made a few tweaks to it but not actually ridden it yet as I’ve been mainly using my MTB. I’ve sold the cheap wheelset that it came with so will be available without wheels. Also swapped the b...

Revelate Tangle XS
Bought this for my son’s bike but it’s too big. Used with mud marks and some rubbing inside the bag but good condition overall. Probably only suitable for smaller adult frames - perhaps a 15” or so. Might get away with it on a small surly mtb or similar. For reference probably 1” too short for my me...

Selling on behalf of my father who can no longer ride. Frame in excellent condition. Set up with Deore 3 x 9 gearing, bar end shifters and a shimano nexus hub and lights which are currently not working as the wiring is loose.
