Thanks

Thanks again.

I've found a little more around the hubs, looks like I can get an Ibis freehub direct for £75 (presumably I will get hit for tax in the uk from usa) or from slam 69 for £85

I had kind of hoped for something a little less pricy!

Can you get a different freehub with SS compatible splines? :roll: Just kidding Steve 😄 (I mentioned it above) I probably can, but so far it's a ball ache and the shop I suspect may be best in the know (where I got the bike that came with the wheels on) say they 'think it may be the right one' and ...

That's a shame

Hi. I have some wheels with nice wide rims I'd like to use singlespeed. Issue is that the freehub is microspline. Does anyone know of solutions to fit a single cog to microspline? The hubs are branded ibis bikes so deciphering what HG freehub body would fit, then finding one is equally irritating. I...

Off to pick up a frame and fork from Shona and Rich shortly.

That is cheery! What did you go for?

Cheery here too matching your first point

What an interesting area

Just a topic of mild curiosity really. I wonder why 29+ has faded out... I used to own one, it was good fun to ride but I did find that the main limitation was getting the tyre pressure just right for off road mean it wasn't quite as good on road. I am still a little surprised that there doesnt seem...

Presume you refer to the one up oyster clough. (Without checking the grid ref) You could fit 3 or 4 in lay near each other. Its pretty small and there are no sleeping platforms at all so its direct on the stone floor. Which is why id not sleep in it. There is a table in there, the odd chair and a co...

Not very exciting, but I always enjoy seeing the hole of doom

Drew.

Yes please
I'll PM you.


(Sorry bearlegged)

Gravel king slick+ come in 38mm

GOne Speed in a 38mm

Pirelli Cinterato have a bit of side tread but are 40mm

Hutchinson override in 45mm

Spesh pathfinder pro, have some tread but 42mm

Spesh nimbus pro 38mm

Rene herse do a 44 or a 38

Terravail Rampart 42mm

Thanks both, I'll remain fussy and wait for the moon on a stick tho

Looking for some nice high and wide bars.

Stooge Moto would do to have a try but otherwise 50mm tall 800 wide

Unlikely I know, but anyone got any?

Gravel bike innit... No tread needed...
(I have other tyres if needed, but these did ok last night)

I have one of them brand x stems, perfectly functional if unexciting.

7 degree rise tho, but that's not much mm of rise.

That's a nice Gravel Bike ^

I received a frame and made a gravel bike too....

It was clean when I built it, but I didn't have time to take a picture before I rode it.

I'm too lazy to check back to when I actually last posted, but after a while of not really riding and for a while I was pretty convinced I was giving up completely, I have recently started getting out more again. Back in for the last part of FF2023 Jan - 104 Nov 27th - 104 :roll: Target remains, 95....

So, one word answer: none. Very 'Whinnie the Pooh' When I was riding a lot more, I got used to not wearing a chamois and the elimination of this eliminated most sore bum issues I'd experienced in the past :grin: Hoping to follow that up in the colder months, so I think I will stick with some sort o...

A decent while ago, i asked what peoples fave shorts were and got great answers that me happy in my shorts choice to this day.

So, as its a bit wintery i thought id ask those who ride in trousers / pants what their favourites are.

Cheers

Thanks a lot everyone, certainly some in there I had not thought / heard of!

I see the list of events on bikepacking.com etc and am obviously aware of the BB events. Having been, lets say.... off the boil.... for a while I am not really up to speed with whats around. I was discussing with a friend for work and realised I was quite out of touch. So, to that end, what do peopl...

Should add, willing to consider swapping for nice hardtail frame. Size LRG. must be very good condition.

SOLD Hi, the clearance continues. Basically I simply dont ride much anymore and certainly dont ride drop bar bikes anymore. Pinnacle Arkose 56cm in that browny maroony sparkle colour. All round good condition. A few rubs here and there on the frame. Bought new in approx 2019 late, or early 2020 (I t...

31.8mm or as I like to think of it, standard

I am open to reasonable offers too. Need to have a mega sized clearout in the next few months
