Ain't it beautifully crafted. Thanks you Peak District lovely man...

Are the effects / benefits in terms of grip, comfort, ride quality less noticable on a small diameter tyre? I've discovered my barrow has a puncture, do I just repair the tube or go tubeless while I've got it apart? Will going tubeless afford greater grip when pushing it up a plank when full of gra...

I tried to turn my daughters bike tubeless yesterday (lock down boredom /weight saving/puncture resistance) but the wheels are schrader valves (same as a barrow). Normal tubeless presta valves wouldn't fill the rim hole so I chopped out the valve an old inner schrader tube, all good seating the tyr...

All sorted. Couldn't quite stretch to a £100 grinder so bought the Toyota (poor mans Lexus)... ie. The Hario mini mill on offer at £30

https://forums.mtbr.com/brake-time/hope-x2-caliper-aligning-problem-1028073.html Looks like a commonly occuring problem. What rotor (splined shimano or standard 6 bolt?)... I'd not shave much more material inside your IS mount. Can you maybe add some washers between the disc and hub to move that out...

Technically in the Ultegra range its the hg800 which some sites state is road bike specific but I'm pretty certain it'll take to an mtb freehub no probs https://bike.shimano.com/en-EU/product/component/ultegra-r8000/CS-HG800-11.html Then in the 105 range I think I must've gotten my wires crossed (ie...

Alternately Shimano actually now make their biggest (ultegra and 105 road types) 11 speed cassettes with a removable inner ring which allows em to fit over a 10 speed cassette. 34 highest sprocket I think they are and I wouldn't see em being a problem being used on mtb... if it was any of that Campa...

I understand your frustration. I've been feeling the same recently, coincidentally also involving my an Arkose, not that it's relevant. I knew when I bought it that I'd regret buying an 11 speed bike, particularly since I already have two 10 speed bikes. Now I've built a pair of wheels for it using...

Been looking at the Made By Knock stuff and seems decent (after reading the discussion here and understanding the issue a bit more from online). Seems like a supply issue at the moment from MBK and unable to make any advance orders (just what gets produced and whoever sees it at the time). Anyone an...

Reg... you're right. Am an embarrassment to the Quarry Spotting Community (QSC). But I might have redeemed and managed to find a shorter ride too. Who knows, might spot 2 quarries in just the one ride :-bd https://i.imgur.com/qPLfUFl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/U7CPphQ.jpg On a serious note... If only t...

Now then... Look what I've found. Seems it was there all along but the icon for the quarry just missed my eye as it said it in plain 'englaterre' (can you tell I've taken delivery of a gift from a B&B in Spain). https://i.imgur.com/X9v363v.jpg If we look carefully under the Shepley Dyke writing,...

Was hoping to have got myself some decent quarry by now but this 'quarry' lark is no joke is it. Planned to get out on my 'dont bw stupid' ride and 10 miles in look in OS/Viewranger maps to see any signs of used/disused quarries. Out of respect for Reg' thread I thought best not to share any pics ot...

Short version: from my experience working in coffee for years, any grinders comparably cheap to the hario will be a pig to use and/or be liable to break. I can’t say too much about the longevity of the hario, all of the stuff in the sub £60 price bracket (and most in the sub £100) are cheaply const...

Really want a Hario but can't justify that kind of spend.. Especially if its gonna go the same way as the Hunt Bros (think that was close to £30 but was a long while ago. Ern... the Porlex is only £17 even more over budget. But I guess the money from my Restrap bag makes its £30 cheaper. Thing is, ...

It's here :grin: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49828668178_7d22ca639e_c.jpg The lock-down has brought about a profound change in the pace of my bivis. Previously there's many a bivi where I didn't even take a stove to save time I'm now going to grind my coffee beans in the morning to make sur...

I got a bag from james that he got off someone on here , and it made me chuckle as I was looking at this too lol
And yeah the mag buckles are ace I have 2 of their belts

I just have the one. 50lb worth of stomach it can hold in apparently

Right this one's for Shaf's eyes only after he foolishly showed a minor quarry interest the other day. Biiiig mistake :smile: . Everyone else move along in an orderly fashion please. Went back to the same area again to double-check the potential Spot. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49937217243...

fasting month over for me now so no need to keep such a snails pace no more

It's available as 2 in 1 as well

Ya bloody coffee snob you...

Sorry if anyone finds it OT but i always thought coffee and cycling are like brothers

Got the Hunt Bros as my first. Bit tall for decent weight/space saving bikepacking or taking with on the trails. Died about a year or 6 months later as one of the ceramic burrs had fractured long before and slowly it all went downhill. Then missus got me a Hunt Bros copy from ebay for £7... I think ...

Haha jameso I had been comparing this to the carradice, restrap is quality btw Definitely agree with that. But so is Carradice (I kmow you didn't say it wasn't :smile: ) as its the older 9L (anyone got a 25L spare/selling/swapping) I bought of Ton which replaced this little masterpiece... Best thin...

Another consecutive ride of which I've lost count the days now. Probably 12 or 13th day. Tomorrows gonna be a toughie as a long shift (0715 til 2015) without a bike for commuting to it. So gonna have to fit it in somehow. Todays ride I went out for my 'local'. Just short of 9 miles and decided to ch...

Just a little bump and a price drop before it gets put away or thowrn into the fleabay did I say its waterproof (has a sepearate sleeve inside it).

New price= £32 posted
