Money sent. I'll drop you a DM with my address. Thanks Scud

Ok sounds fine. Let me know how you want paid. Are you ok to post asap? Thanks a lot.

Hi scud, that looks good. Is it in ok condition, and what back size is it? That link you give says there is 3 sizes available. My lad is almost 6ft. Thanks

Anyone got a DofE suitable rucksack (min 50litres) in decent nick, and not too expensive they'd be happy to move on? Only issue is we need it for the coming weekend, so needs to be sent ASAP (might want to factor that into the price!).
Cheers

Can I take this if still available, please?

Just on the off chance, does anyone have a Luxe Mini Peak 2 tent they might want to move on?
Ta much

as rudedog says you can just buy an adaptor for a fiver and continue using normal headphones https://www.amazon.co.uk/BabyElf-Headphone-Headset-Adapter-Compatible/dp/B086YQS2SJ/ref=sr_1_7_sspa I did not know that! I assumed these new handsets without a jack were all pushing us to move to wireless s...

It's a Google Pixel. I ordered those Anker Slim ones, found a good deal for a pair. Thanks for the comments, as always much appreciated

Cheers all. I've had Anker stuff before and it's decent, well priced kit, so I'll maybe look into those slim ones.

Can anyone recommend some Bluetooth headphones for occasional use on the bike and when camping? My new phone came without a jack, so all my headphones are now obsolete ! I guess I need decent battery life and would prefer ones with a hook that goes around your ear.
Thanks

Ah, another lover of the fig roll... I like it

Just received an mail from planet X this morning offering 30% off selected bike bags this weekend...

I think you might need to be from north of the border to understand that one...

Thanks a lot Stuart, I'll PM you

Hi Stuart, If these are still available, I'll gladly take them for my wife. Obviously happy to send you whatever for p&p + couple of drinks of your choice... Thanks Peter

For sale is a Topeak MidLoader Frame bag, capacity is 4.5litres and colour is black. It's been used a fair few times, but looked after so in really good overall condition. Dual side entry zips. Note that the velcro straps are not adjustable, so you can't move them to different places on the frame (i...

Hello, if still available can I get pics please pm555 at yahoo dot com
Thanks

I picked up this from alpkit in their recent clearout sale. It's waterproof and spacious enough for a tube, small tools and other bits n bobs. Happy with it so far...

Thanks ScotRoutes

Can you undo and reuse tape if it's had sealant on it? For what it is, Stan's stuff is awfy expensive. I've tried a couple of ways to mount a tyre, but having re-read this thread, want to try and redo the taping. I'll obviously reclean the rim, just want to reuse the tape if it looks in decent shape...

Ended up going back to the LBS and ended up buying a new fancy pump, the type that stores the air which is then released. This made all the difference. Not freakin' cheap though but with this it worked a treat and then a few more pumps until those lovely pops sounded. Can I ask what pump you got? A...

Getting the taping right is probably the critical part of tubeless. Clean the rim, doesn't need to be spotless but the cleaner the better. I use Iso-propyl alcohol. Leave to dry. The tape should be the same width as the external width of the rim. The reason for this is that it gets pulled down into...

Popping when releasing pressure is just the bead releasing from the rim.

That's great - thanks!

Just when it was all going so well.. another question, if I DON'T hear the popping sound when inflating (but the tyre looks mounted), however when I then deflate, and I DO hear the popping sound, is this good/bad??

Many happy returns Stuart. I've never even met you, but am ever thankful you took the time to create and maintain this forum for all us like-minded bike&camp folks.
