Re: Recommend me a new hardtail
Building bikes can be expensive, especially buying nice forks plus all the little bits like seat clamps, grips, cables, stems etc add up. I once built up an on one scandal. I bought parts cheap/used had £1000 in it and it was just not very good. I sold it and bought a Niner jet 9 that is in very goo...

Recommend a fleece
One of my favourite riding jackets is an old liner fleece out of a snowboarding jacket. It's a fleece but so thin you can see through it when you hold it up to the light. It also has 3 zipped pockets but 2 of the zips have failed now so it's ready for replacement.
Thanks,
Rob

Re: camper van bike storage ?
my bikes went on a full length roof rack. I carried a telescopic ladder and locked them to the rack. The paintwork on the bikes did get a bit abused though and it kind of felt like an accident waiting to happen but mine is a smaller van that only just fits a double bed in. It also has a ramp so I ca...

Re: Family Size Inflatable Tent Recommendations.
That makes sense. I always thought they'd be hard to pack away having to squeeze the air out but as i say i've no experience with them.
Best of luck, let us know what you decide on

Re: Family Size Inflatable Tent Recommendations.
I personally don't see the appeal of an air tent but i've never used one. I bought this (for 150 sept '20) but haven't used it yet. Our van isn't usable for sleeping in since my son arrived 9 months ago so rather than a drive away awning i bought the tent. https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/camping-tent-...

Does a gyroscope in the opposite direction actually cancel out the affect or does it just double it?

if you've wanted one for years just scratch the itch. I personally don't worry about bike weights too much and would probably prefer a reynolds stainless over ti.

Re: Winter gravel
I think I will opt for the Mondials from Spa as recommended earlier,
From what I can see the 50's cost twice as much and I guess it also depends what/if you plan to run mudguards?

Re: Winter gravel
OP have you ran the Riddlers tubeless?
I have had one ride on mine and got a puncture. Not sure whether to try them tubeless or just replace them. I've been looking at the Schwalbe Hurricane's.

Re: Krampus build help
My 2x10 with 3" knards would rub the chain when I had it in the lowest gears. Even if it doesnt touch it still picked up loads of mud off the sidewall.
It rode really nice though so enjoy.
