Re: RS SID, RL, 120mm, boost
NB. If the Fox Rythm might save me a few pennies and have less chewy stuff going on (and similar weight) I might wait for them :-bd :lol: chewy... I'll take them off and weigh them, but would think they'll be 150gms more. They have less sticker damage (as I removed them all due to colour clash) and...

Re: wtd: 650b tyres
I have an old pair of WTB Nanos, badged as 27.5 x 2", but they come up narrow. They've plenty of tread, but look a bit tatty due to lots of tubeless sealant. £10 posted? https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53285967144_bba6be07c9.jpg 20231025_203750 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5328584565...

Re: Dropper post curious
Another Brand X + Top Peak thingy user here. Advantage of Brand X is that swapping to a standard post is dead easy - release the cable and go. Hydraulic posts are a bit more involved. the Brand X get rebranded as all sorts - I have a Bontrager branded version from years ago.

Re: What are you reading now?
I took Rebank jnr (or one of them) for Bikeability last year. I think Mrs R has taken to writing too. I'm reading The Flow by Amy-Jane Beer https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/flow-9781472977397/ Easy to read, dip in and out of, and of interest to anyone who stops on bridges to watch rivers/becks/burns.

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
Wife, who's a Deputy Head, had to delay for 2 days as Ofsted decided the best day for them to turn up was the day we left Holiday in term time? :o Looks great. Enjoy. Very happy with my recent Rega Planar 3 50th Anniversary I've got a Rega Planar sat in a cupboard upstairs - redundant since 2016......

Re: What makes the black dashed line - rideable?
To chip in to the 'legality bit', there is, I believe, a bylaw specifically banning cycling on footpaths within open access land in the Peak District. I seem to remember it being a response, years ago, to cyclists using Fps along the gritstone edges, which was damaging SSSIs and the like. This is fr...

....a new pair of wheels - DT swiss 1900 (370 hubs and 500g, 30mm wide rims). Arrived already taped with tubeless valves, and only £200.
Not light or especially bling, but going on Solaris trail bumbler - I'll go with strong and cheap (and reliable hopefully)
Test ride tomorrow

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
Last check-in was 2019 - have they brewed it again? Yeah - I'd spotted it on their FB page recently. Wasn't aware that they'd brewed it before. Just back from the cinema at Rheged, having seen the 'Reel Rock' climbing films. There was one about the climbing community in Palestine (West Bank). Reall...

I wonder when they did it - looked rather damp.... Plus they were using the 2017 route by the looks - it does worry me how I can recognise every bit of that trail!
