Re: Dirty Reiver: 200k UK Gravel event
Could this be the earliest ever "what tyres" thread before an event has even been announced?Dan_K wrote:I'm so doing this. Never ridden in that part of the world.
Is it 28mm gravel king or 40c nano tyre territory?

Re: WTD: StemCell (Pair if poss)
At just £18 each and being very useful I doubt anyone would be looking to sell one, let alone two.

To solve the aero bar angle sorted get yourself these https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5733/21710772096_8a8225e32f_n.jpg I cut mine in half through their long length so they hide under the clamp and out of sight, wrap then in place with electrical tape and they level up that area perfectly. http://www...

Re: Halloween weekend - North West England bivi
I'd love to join you but I'm fat bike racing in Holland the weekend after so there is not point asking SHMBO this time.
One thing to note, getting more than 3 or 4 riders with bikes on the 2 trains you will need from Liverpool to Leeds may be an issue with the train guards.

Re: Bikepacking options from/near Liverpool
If the weathers ok I'd go with Wotsit's idea of the south lakes or the Todmorden area. If it's bad I'd take the Canal towards Leeds, as the wind (and rain) will at least be on your back all the way, plenty of cheeky bivi options out of the towns and plenty of places to eat in the towns. Get the trai...

My first Fat 50km time trail training ride @150bpm to build up ready for a Holland World Champs Beach race in November was followed the long route home into a beach headwind.
72 miles done and my legs are feeling it tonight.

Re: New for Loop bar users.
After thinking up the idea before I saw this post
I found that the metal on the bar ends was malleable enough to stretch over the wrapped bars and I closed them up with longer bolts.
Test ride tomorrow
