I live in Fincham in Norfolk. I'm mid way between Downham Market and Swaffham, with King's Lynn, just 20 mins away. Also only a short drive or 35 minutes on the train from Cambridge, where I grew up. London is only an hour and 20 minutes on the train. Properties cheap, but there isn't a huge amount ...

Yes please. Gave one away the other week only for a mate to ask if I had a spare for him.

I worked in a shop for many years, we always likened it to High Fidelity.

I don't remember spouting lots of BS, but knowing too much on a subject you become very opinionated about what is good/rubbish.

I've used a North Face one that I got off of STW for a tenner. Takes two bottles and a fair amount of carry space and straps for other stuff to be lashed on. Rode BB200 the other year with it. I like to leave it a little use and have not found many issues, far better than a rucksack

A big box of XT shifters, XT cassette, chain, XT shadow plus rear mech all from CRC with a saving of about £90.
New rubber bots for my BB7s and a 180 adaptor for the front and a laptop battery, so that I can spend more time on line discussing bikes than riding them.

Cheers fella, interestingly I have forgone gym for running lately so less core work.

I get stiff, sore, painful elbows on longer rides. I use Jones loops and Odi grips and have tried shifting my position, but can't go anymore up right. I wondered if a set of Ergon GC1 grips might help?
Your thoughts and experiences of similar?

No seem to be alright, don't have a huge call for torx, but did all my T25 bolts earlier and all was well.

A trip to Aldi earlier turned up a nice torx set for £3.99, they also had 1-10mm Allen key sets with ball ends for the same price. Worthwhile for the workshop.

Scattamah gaiters arrived and have been worn on a shirt walk today. Thanks ever so much. Bivi bag will be on its way to Bigface. Poles requested by a few people, will be departing soon.

Thanks dude. Will let you know when they arrive..

All those interested in poles or the bivi bag drop me a PM

Can I dibs those gaiters and in due course I will pay it forward with some free tarp poles and a goretex bivi bag.

Salsa anything cage Sold

Been lazy, really will all go on ebay tomorrow, some extra items added and open to sensible offers. Deore Thumbies in good condition, Ive never used them, bought them for a project that never went ahead. I'd like to get back what I paid for them £35 https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8641/15776078247_6b...

I have a new bagged up sumo post clamp to pair up with FLV if need be.

Stem is black 31.8.

Can be seen at https://www.flickr.com/photos/92051586@N00/

Cheers

Going on eBay tomorrow unless anyone wants any of the items.

Having recorded the slowest time ever on the 200km route, I am well in for a short one after two years training.

Ok all a bit spare of the moment as I have just bought another set of wheels. 29er Halo Freedom rims (white) on Hope Pro 2 front (black) and Alfine 8 speed rear (black) with silver shifter. Loads of washers and a couple of sprockets. £200 posted 29er Salsa rims on Surly hubs SS rear, smooth and true...

Good condition, £37.50 posted to your door. Drop me a message if you fancy it.

Surly do some.

In fact I am sure that somewhere I have a large one, Surly patch that is (my penis is tiny)

I'll get out into the garage tomorrow and snap some pics and ping them over.

I have a pair of Surly hubs on Salsa rims. They are good and straight, screw on and nutted rear.
Ideally want to sell the pair though.

I was rushing through a single track section and bumped my arse down on the back of the saddle for a pedal turn, then back up out of the saddle. Sat back down to find that I had snapped the head off of the USE sumo, ouch! Just bad luck I'd say, not a packing issues, just wear and tear.
