Can I borrow your hedgehog to sort out our snail problem please Shaf, should only take a couple of days

I'm not sure I'd trust a repair on a walking pole, but I often use mine to pole vault bogs of doom

New BB arrived this morning, just managed to fit it in between wok video meetings :grin: The old one was in a bit of a state on the drive side, really cruddy under the dust cap and on the bearing surface, not sure what happened there, maybe I didn't get everything snug after changing my front chainr...

A bag of random bits from the Alpkit sale, namely a pair of ankle gaiters, running gloves with flappy windcover bit, three pairs of socks and another frame bag

Thanks folks

Done some reading and I think I'll give the Praxis a shot, it seems their M24 is the one I need ...

Just need to use the thicker dust caps with my 1x setup

Brilliant, lovely part of the world

Thanks for sharing

Silky smooth? No notchyness ? I've certainly had bbs go stiff in the past, they don't usually come completely back to life tho, at least not without some sign of notchyness Want any help figuring out what it is? I'd say as smooth as it's ever been, it's very odd Any pointers in figuring out a repla...

Wasn't somebody selling a natty little rack in the classifieds recently? Some of the smaller "race" packs might fit, thinking Restrap e5c Do you mean the Restrap rear bag that was linked to eBay? If so I have one and I wouldn’t bither with it, it’s fine for a couple of tubes and a jackets...

Sorry chaps should've said, I locked the rear mech and popped the chain of the front ring after checking a few other things, I did think it was a jockey wheel at first, so yeah definitely the BB It's really weird, it's normally smooth and pretty much silent, it was fine last time I was out about 10 ...

Lubing up before a ride this morning my BB wasn't happy about something, I could barely back pedal to lube the chain. I was in two minds whether to abandon the ride but in the end I thought sod it and set off anyway, I was waiting for a spectacular failure but after a few rotations it seemed to sort...

Double post oops

You can return your Darn Toughs for a new pair Shaf

Just google darn tough returns uk

There are trousers out there, never seen them myself but they do exists apparently

The Irish chap who won this year's Spine race had a matching suit on

My mates used to build TEG stoves like these 20 years ago, they'd turn up with a big bag of wooden cat litter pellets as they were the best fuel, it always seemed a bit daft to me carrying fuel for a wood stove.

+1 for the Hydrogen, I have the smock version

Pertex outer and Alpha lining, great for regulating on the move but not as toasty as my Special 6 shirt was when static. It's still a beast though and doesn't come out until around November time for me

ME Kinesis would be a less warm option

Another vote for the eesilk, I managed to grab one for a good price from the alpkit ebay store

As a kid I was slipstreaming a local shopper bus down a big hill, as he braked for a humpback bridge at the bottom I took the inside line and hit the back of a parked ice cream van. Wrote off my Raleigh Mustang, broke my collarbone and lost a couple of front teeth in the process, worst part was I co...

I feel your pain, literally, I had bleeding fingernails trying to get a WTB tyre off a rim last year

Had to do the standing on the tyre thing whilst pulling up on the rim

I picked these up on here last year I think but never got round to using them, they've just sat on a shelf since gathering dust. Used a couple of times by the previous owner, unused by me 520mm wide Double-butted 6061 alloy 6-degree backsweep / 24-degree flare Bio-ergo drop bend 102mm drop 76mm reac...

I saw a few in the Fawkes sale when I was scrolling through last night, not sure on prices though

Also I think Sportpursuit might have a couple on their site at the moment

Have you ever experimented with an adjustable version Stu?

Something like you find on a pair of crutches with the squeezy buttons and a series of holes?
