Re: What's your favourite 700 gravel tyre?
Nanos here to, great compromise tyre. Good enough on most off road but I’ve also done a road century on them once because I was too lazy to swap them over

Re: Whats the one event you'll miss, missing out on the most this year?
To be honest I can't really afford to enter events much now* so not missing much!
Have a week in October booked off, should be ok to plan something for then?
*WRT excepted obviously but it's a 550 mile round trip which seems excessive (my car probably struggles to do 30mpg!)

Re: Anyone ever used a US reshipper?
Well they left Ohio and resurfaced in Florida, MyUS then charged me $33 to Fedex priority them on (there was a cheaper option but Fedex seemed a good idea)… they are now somewhere in Memphis trying to get on a Fedex plane

Re: Quick/easy access bikepacking style luggage
I'm not a fan of the saddle pack really, always find it a faff to pack or get one thing out of without emptying the contents over the floor. Would like to try one of these but rather spendy...especially since I've not been out camping on the bike since moving house in May :oops: https://builtbyswift...

Re: Do I want a Geared Hub?
Do you still have the duomatic Stu? I have one on a bike and like it.
Also got a 5 speed srf5w sat in a box that I used for while after a knee injury, must dig that out and ebay it.
