Re: ESI 6.75” grips
Just poke the wd40 straw down and squirt It says not to use lubricant otherwise I would’ve done this. Wasn’t sure how I could remove the WD after to stop them Slipping once refitted. I fitted my esi grips with GT85 last time I had them off as the hand sanitiser I normally use was worth more than go...

Re: Retro 1x bodgery
Have a wolf tooth ring on my cx and it was even more than the Middleburn!
Also run an 11-40 sunrace on that and it works fine just made this 11-42 out of bits
I do have an 11-46 9 speed cassette but the mech did not have the range to make it work

Retro 1x bodgery
Had a bit of a gearing revamp on the Inbred mullet Because - my front rings (old 5 bolt compact) where pretty worn the front mech has always been a mud magnet I just like the simplicity of 1x on my other bike and I was probably a bit bored and like to tinker Middleburn direct mount 32 NW (they call ...

Re: If we close up for a bit...
Actually that seems to be from Scottish Cycling not the Government so not the law and possibly why it's badly worded This is from Scottish Government "Sport, culture and leisure activities: In this phase we are planning to allow unrestricted outdoors exercise adhering to distancing measures and...

Re: GBDURO goes from self-supported to self-sufficient
I'll just point out that the position is different in Scotland where the Government is taking a slightly slower approach. A number of cyclists travelling the length of the UK and turning up in some of the local communities will attract the wrong sort of attention. Exactly, I guess we'd need to be i...

Re: If we close up for a bit...
I don’t see anything in the Scottish guidance from 28th requiring a return home at night? So camping ok so long as it’s fairly local and part of your exercise?

Re: Wanted; 700C x 40mm Tyres
Which ones are they exactly? Are they the folding Race ones?Retiredtester wrote: ↑Sun Apr 26, 2020 12:44 pm Got some lightly used wtb nanos in 700x40c that I'm unlikely to use again. They're non tubeless and I've no idea whether you could set them up tubeless regardless with a bit of perseverance and know how. Any good?

Re: Hebridean Way
There are ponies up the wee road past Loch Druidibeag on South Uist too. If you are doing the whole archipelago then one transport option is to hire a bike taxi service from Ullapool to Oban (or Ullapool to Inverness to catch a train). This was part of my job for a while... Is that the road to the ...

Re: Hebridean Way
Would like to go over and do this as been to Uists and Eriskay a few times. Will have a look at that Heb shuttle suggestion :) I would say don’t just ride straight off Eriskay. It’s a cool little island. Worth a climb up Beinn Sciathan (Scrien) to find the ponies. They are down around the village in...

Re: Trad Carradice saddle bags (user experience and MYOG related)
Thanks Al, I have some of those here, they're OK but do place the bag closer to the seatpost and the loops can end up at odd angles. Just seems daft that more saddles don't have loops, a nicer solution. There's a moulded nylon base to most of them, why not just add a loop in there? Ah well. I tried...
