Re: Do we need another gilet order?

I was hoping you were going to order again Stu. Didn't order last year as I thought it wouldn't be required what with having a BB jersey. However I am so blooming nesh I dont think it came out from under another layer more than twice last year!

Hi all, I'm looking for a LBS nearish Stafford that actually stocks bike packing luggage so that I can check to see if things fit on my bike before I buy them. The closest I've found so far is Keep Pedalling in Manchester which is a fair way so I was hoping someone would know of somewhere closer. P...

Re: anyone riding a jones plus? advice needed.

I have surly OD double that I no longer need. It is basically like a triple but does away with outer ring and shifts middle and granny rings outbound. Gives loads of clearance for plus tyres. Loved it on my Krampus, have a Stooge now so no longer needed.

Re: One for the Stooge owners

I use on-one Carbon Fat fork, right height and offset and can be had for as little as £90 in one of their fairly regular sales. Even if you factor in new hub and wheel build its still cheapest option. 3.8 Hoodag is also vaguely exciting for trail duties. Roll of 29+ with loads more cush. I ride a lo...

One for the Stooge owners

Right, I have a Ti stooge. My aim is that it should be the one bike for all with just a change of wheels. I have it dialled for trail duties with 27.5 x 3.0 rear and 27.5 x3.8 front. However this is a wee bit draggy for bike-packing, so I tried it set up with a trail-blazer 2.8 rear and VeeMax Fatty...
