Re: NCN cuts

i think people who tend to ride long distance stuff, generally have a half good idea of where they are going and maybe dont need to follow signed routes. i may be wrong. i have ridden quite a lot of the ncn stuff, and sometimes a alternative route is much better and more cycling friendly. the Lon La...

How long? I’ve got a “long” sleeping bag that I don’t use. I’m back home at the weekend so can check then. Think it’s a 2/3 season synthetic if that’s any use to you.
yes please mate.

Re: Do you ever count how much crap you have?

i buy things i want and sell em straight on if i dont like em orf they dont works for me.

therefore i dont accumulate much rubbish stuff.

cant see the point in keeping things that you might use in 5 or so years or maybe never.

sell it and buy something else

money is only any use when being spent.

carbon 29+ rims. anyone use em?

looking for some new 29+ wheels.

just wondering how dependable carbon wheels are, remembering that i weigh twice most other men do.... :lol:

reason i am asking is because nobody seems to have a good wide alloy rim available.
