For me, rolling resistance mainly affects the rear tyre as that's carrying more weight and doing the driving. The front is all about grip, comfort & roll over so I prefer the 3" if its dry enough.

I'd say there's more/better/cheaper tyres available in 29"/700 than there is 27.5" which seems to be fairly new. WTB seem to have cornered the market and I don't personally rate them as being very durable.

That's good of you but its my fault for not checking what i'm buying

I assumed it was 29", I can't see it fitting my other bike and my friend isn't interested in trying it. I've a Stooge mk4 on order so it would go on the back of that but I was planning to run it 29" to

after me being a numpty.. anyone want to buy a 27.5" bomboloni?

Do they have cage mounts?

My dad has suggested creating a skirt around the perimeter using the DPC, it should stop water coming in but will reduce the ventilation/draught. The highest point of the roof can be left exposed as it is 1m away from the house so should never get driving rain or wind. Plasterboard was mainly becaus...

Hi, Thanks for responses. I have ordered a roll of Tyvek and will return the non-breathable membrane. The base is 2" concrete pavers coated in garage floor paint (not sure if that helps?). There is a DPC stapled to the base of the timber frames and the whole lot will be sat on some off-cuts of ...

My apologies if this is a bit off topic so please feel free to delete if not allowed. I'm in the process of building a large timber framed shed (pent roof) that will be clad in plastisol sheet. I've read that metal sheds can be terrible for condensation so i've been looking into ways to avoid it. I'...

Stooge speedballs are nearly £900 for frame and fork.

I've got a rooster but recently took the 3" tyre off the back for a 2.3" purgatory. The chain can rub on the tyre with a double and 3" tyre.

I like the look of the new Krampus but not sure if it meets your spec.

Anyone any experience? Thinking cheaper end of the scale like twhammocks or sea to summit, any suggestions or recommendations? I'm More of a tourist than a racer

Likewise I know very little about boating but from his blog he planned to head south in search of better seas. He's also in the shipping channels so may be playing frogger with liners and it also mentions some odd currents and big waves in the next week or so.

My MD has just started a solo rowing trip across the Atlantic, due to last approx 70 days on a 2hr on, 2 hr off rota. You can follow his progress and donate to Macmillan here,
