I would take the 11spd if disk and Paul wants the 8spd

After a 10spd shimano rear shifter, anything from SLX upwards.

Building my old P7 for the lad now he seems to have a hit a bit of a growth spurt. I ran it single speed though so in need of a 26" disc rear wheel with a 9 spd hub. Also need a chainset with 165mm or less cranks, not bothered if its triple, double or single. Cheers

Thanks, too tall for my stead I am afraid

I do same, it was the not being able to change whilst in a technical section I thought might be a problem.

I currently run Hylex brakes and bar ends so thought I might try the 1 x lever conversation when I Upgrade to 10spd

They are Gevenalle...well actually these are older ones from when they used to be Retroshift with Dura Ace bar end shifters on. I'm a big fan, have Gevenalle on mx CX and a homemade version on my roadbike for a sturmey archer. I have been considering a set for my Fargo but the reviews seem a bit Ma...

Hi do you know what the fork offset and A/C height are?

western mountaineering down trousers pack up smaller than my xxl merino longjons I love mine, there expensive and make you look ridiculous, but the plus is you can take a lighter sleeping bag as essential you are wearing half a sleeping bag on your legs :-bd Montane featherweights are great for sum...

Ran Jones on my Fargo for about 3 years and loved em, never really got on with the drops for bikepacking/proper mtb stuff. Had to run a stupid long 120mm and a whole stack of headset spacers to get position right though. The only downside I found was a lack of aero or tuck position on long road stre...

Can I second dibs the dirt wizard if Cheeky Monkey doest take it?

Terry, I used the Fred bar to clamp some arm rests too then mounted some sawn down extensions to the front of my jones loops, it saved a ton of weight and gave access to fit a Tom cat in the loop. Been looking for a pic but cant find one. However took inspiration from the English Black Rainbow bike....

Thanks guys. Very kindly sorted by Chicken Legs with some Altura replacements

I have one I am wiling to part with, had it on my Fargo when it had Jones bars, it has since gone back to drops. PM if any use.

I have a pair of Altura Attack in a small if you're interested, not had a lot of use and sat in a draw for three years, don't really fit my chicken legs like the Gore or Endura :wink: Could be interested in those, I will drop you a PM Those of you that have the Tenn shorts are they thin nylon ones ...

My faithful Altura waterproof shorts have finally died a death. I have two sets of these and loved em, however the current version of them is a bit baggy enduro rider for me, not a good look when you have short legs :grin: Anyone have any recomendations for alternatives? Shorts please, don't get on ...

I have just spotted Salsa have launched this http://salsacycles.com/files/blog/blackborow045.jpg [url] http://salsacycles.com/culture/introducing_the_new_blackborow[\url] Can't help thinking it goes a little against the bikepacking fast and light ethos they have been championing for the last few yea...

BigdummySteve, it was you who inspired me to use phone after seeing you use it with success on the WRT lonely harts. I seem to remember you had it on most of the time too? What cache battery are you using, it just may be I need something bigger and faster charging Aren't phones prone to water ingres...

have you turned the screen brightness down. thats the biggest draw by far on a modern smartphone. and turn wifi/bluetooth/gsm off. Yep, turn it as low as I can without loosing the ability to view the screen and usually run it in airplane mode. I don't have a lock on the screen for the reasons you m...

Ok so I lost my Garmin about 2 months ago. Rather than shell out £200+ for a new unit I thought I would try using my iphone. After all I use view ranger for backup navigation any way,I have a dynamo hub and sinewave to keep it charged and there are a number of apps for live cycling metrics. Any way ...

Got to confess I've been thinking about it on the Gravel bike. Does anyone know if Di2 xt works with Ultegra shifters or climber buttons?

Trying to figure out were Di2 fits in with your last thread Mike

Adventurer, Where is the sunken lane? I live up the road from Abbots Bromley and have tried a few times to get across to the chase with varying success.

Looking at your Flickr pics I take it the Sonder is a recent purchase, I note its in the shop in a couple of pics back

Wingnut now sold

Red and black Wingnut Hyper. Very small tear in lid which has been patched with tough tape, does not effect performance. Turns out I'm not as minimalist as I thought and only selling cause I need a bigger one :roll: SOLD https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4287/34605069594_c042ca7f30_z.jpg Wingnut Hyper 2...
