Interesting ponderings, thanks for taking the time.
As a few mention, I generally have also come to the conclusion that having the choice is really nice.

Anyone ride exclusively singlespeed?
No real goal of finding any particular answer, a bit like my question about 29+ Does anyone here ride exclusively singlespeed? I ride one, but also ride geared bikes. I prefer my SS for most of my MTB riding, I don't mind using it for backpacking too. Sometimes. Not that I've done much for a while. ...

Re: Singlespeed a microspline?
Thanks again.
I've found a little more around the hubs, looks like I can get an Ibis freehub direct for £75 (presumably I will get hit for tax in the uk from usa) or from slam 69 for £85
I had kind of hoped for something a little less pricy!

Re: Singlespeed a microspline?
Can you get a different freehub with SS compatible splines? :roll: Just kidding Steve 😄 (I mentioned it above) I probably can, but so far it's a ball ache and the shop I suspect may be best in the know (where I got the bike that came with the wheels on) say they 'think it may be the right one' and ...

Singlespeed a microspline?
Hi. I have some wheels with nice wide rims I'd like to use singlespeed. Issue is that the freehub is microspline. Does anyone know of solutions to fit a single cog to microspline? The hubs are branded ibis bikes so deciphering what HG freehub body would fit, then finding one is equally irritating. I...

What was the problem with 29+
Just a topic of mild curiosity really. I wonder why 29+ has faded out... I used to own one, it was good fun to ride but I did find that the main limitation was getting the tyre pressure just right for off road mean it wasn't quite as good on road. I am still a little surprised that there doesnt seem...

Re: Peak district bothy question
Presume you refer to the one up oyster clough. (Without checking the grid ref) You could fit 3 or 4 in lay near each other. Its pretty small and there are no sleeping platforms at all so its direct on the stone floor. Which is why id not sleep in it. There is a table in there, the odd chair and a co...

WTD: High n Wide bars?
Looking for some nice high and wide bars.
Stooge Moto would do to have a try but otherwise 50mm tall 800 wide
Unlikely I know, but anyone got any?

Re: 60mm Stem Wanted
I have one of them brand x stems, perfectly functional if unexciting.
7 degree rise tho, but that's not much mm of rise.

That's a nice Gravel Bike ^
I received a frame and made a gravel bike too....
It was clean when I built it, but I didn't have time to take a picture before I rode it.

Re: Whats your trouser of choice?
So, one word answer: none. Very 'Whinnie the Pooh' When I was riding a lot more, I got used to not wearing a chamois and the elimination of this eliminated most sore bum issues I'd experienced in the past :grin: Hoping to follow that up in the colder months, so I think I will stick with some sort o...
