I use a GX which is a clutch so no idea why they say (rival) clutch won't work. I did try the rival but it could not cope with the tooth difference ( cannot recall if i rode it or just tested it when built).but was using a 42 cassette. Also used an XOmech ( non clutch) and as long as it's exact actu...

Not quite centred on the house as I wouldn't be seen dead south of the river (Forth)

Phil, Don't forget to send it to Jon so he doesn'tmiss it..

I have seen it -will investigate tomorrow as a bit late now

"Get dirty with" would also work...but we are just getting cruder and ruder now

That - I like cup recipes as you can use anything at all as its just about ratios and they remain the same [ though i do have some actual "proper" measuring cups]

Never experienced it personally but I am only 10 stone The only downside I have experienced is that when you take the full travel it seriously bounces back at you as its undampened rebound - dont roll in to a 3 foot drop jump it instead Its very good for rough stuff its not good enough for serious r...

Joining Phil( not literally ) for the single persons Valentine's Bivvy as not leaving it late this month for my BAM.

I think the days of people in sheds doing stuff is pretty much over - see also LED lights
Still some space for niche bespoke bike /bag makers [ at a price] or ones with loyal fan bases [ Cotic/Jones etc]

Still in BUT I cannot do that weekend* so will need to be the one after.Hopefully that is still ok Ton I assume the person says distance so mine will be about 100 miles off road ( and also going somewhere more interesting than local) - that is total ride not furthest point ! * Have kids and really c...

You get 3 x unlimited pre set messages These messages can contain any message you choose as you write it - you need to be logged on to laptop to do it in garmin explore [ possibly app never tried] Not certain if their is a length limit as mine are all pretty short. They have your geo location as wel...

I'm probably never going to get a bargain

What you calling a bargain as I am never going to use them and they are sat gathering dust.
Pm me an insulting offer if you wish as I would rather get rid on here than ebay

ALPKIT confuscious ( spell) bars

I have a set with no damage . PM me your email and I will send you some pics
Cost wise around £20. No idea what postage costs are though

I'm perplexed as to how it could be mistaken for a US Dollar symbol

Welcome to the internet, it not even close to its craziest idea.

28 vampire pirates?

I am absolutely function over fashion - i dont really care what it looks like as long as it works*- why would i care what the tiger wayfarer** looks like, its behind me ? * having had a look at some of stolen goats clothing range its a bit bright zany 80's Mr motivator for me - though I did also buy...

I have had Hope ,Chris King, FSA, Cane Creek and unbranded ones - all of them just worked irrespective of price and I am not inclined to pay the premium for hope or King personally. I just replace headset bearings if its required - cannot recall the last time i had to do headset ones - dont get anyt...

That face is saying

" Please lord anything but the Lauf fork "

There are two Angle Tarns in the Lakes

Ah and at least three grizedales as well may be more but I can name and place three

One continental cross king tyre ( FREE)

Map shows a route not involving hellvellyn and angle tarn
( On a phone so hard to tell till I get home re route )

Got a mate (MTB) Newton Stewart way depends where you want to stay tbh
PM if any use and I will ask ( he will say yes if location is useful)

What shifters are you using with the 10 speed SRAM MTB rear mech Lazarus? Sram Rival 11 speed hydraulic 2 x 11 [ and an ultegra front mech ! Does rub in big big - enough to annoy not enough its unworkable ] Pull rate is the same a 10 speed MTB hence you can fit and then deal with bigger teeth gaps ...

I use a long cage 10 speed SRAM MTB mech on my double set up. Gives a bigger range.I have a 42 rear and a 50/34 ( I think). It will just work in all gears but I don't advise big big or small small Might have a spare double SRAM crank if interested Not that helpful for you but MTB mechs give more opt...

Rather depends on the route tbh over to ambleside then around langdales/Grizdale/Windermere and ferry back is very gravel friendly( actual proper lakes/mountains I would not be advising a gravel bike )

Yes because that proves you've got what it takes to survive the harsh environment ...... of your spare bedroom

Brilliant as was jameso

Maybe they want to be sure you can't catch them when they **** off with your entry fee

Each to their own but it's a firm get to f**k from me

It's too big / I am too small or I would be tempted .
