Have found three choices. Tubus wrap around clips or LM-1 fork bosses. A marine grade stainless P clip with soft lining for fuel pipes which come in a wide range of sizes or drill the fork crown. What is titanium like to drill with a hand drill? Think I’ll go for the P clip option as it gives more o...

(Yesterday) 52kms from Dunster up over Dunkery towards Lynmouth. 1100m climbing with lots of pushing up washed out Bridleways with bedrock and loose shale one side and sticky mud the other. Very dry up on top of the moor with trails rock hard and still large standing pools of water in places. Beyond...

Bought a new Edelux2 in standard configuration off ebay. My bike doesn't have a drilling on the fork crown and anyway it would be in the way of a bar bag. Only got the front bar of Jones Loop for mounting. Has anyone got a way of mounting the Edelux using any of the off the shelf brackets available?...

What pressure did you run those tyres at? Simple answer is I dont know. Until recently I just pumped up tyres to 'feels right' try it then adjust if necessary. My Contis work the other way. I know they squirm under high cornering load so the trick is to inflate them just enough to avoid that. I now...

Sorry about that was in the middle of making supper and been sitting on my hands and biting my tongue since the thread started. I built my new bike around 27.5+. My choice my decision. Bike is designed for 29er or 27.5+. Its new its shinny its promoted as the latest. What could possibly go wrong? We...

Yes.
Trail Boss and NNic both 27.5x3"
They are both for sale - still along with Trailblazer 2.8.

Never repaired a dry bag but repaired a crampon spike hole in a gaiter with one of those iron on patches from outdoor gear shop.

What! Are you serious better colours? Remind me never to share a bothy with you, stomping around in your boxers.

Are you boxerphobe or colourist?
Thanks for tip though next time I want a bothy to myself.

Going to start listing stuff I am about to buy just in case.
E-werk USB.
Rockshox Reba 100mm Tapered 15mm axle preferably uncut steerer for 29er.

I am very impressed with AK merino boxers.
Just wish they did better colours.

Only 28 kms up over Dartmoor on the BB Bivy Route. I have been fighting a virus for about a fortnight that has severely curtailed my training. I was supposed to be riding eight hours yesterday but not up to it. Today felt better but only managed three hours. Dartmoor was beautiful with clear blue sk...

What sort of tubeless conversion is it? Is it rim tape or the half an inner tube type? If it was me I would take a tube and dental floss and a sailmakers needle (curved) and possibly a palm to repair the tyre. Oh and dont forget tyre levers and a tyre boot. Or you could stick two tubes in and just t...

Hope this is relevant. I uploaded a gpx file of the Dartmoor Killer Loop to BaseCamp. When I opened it it was a mass of overlapping blue flags and impossible to see details of route. As it was a 'route' I created the 'track' deleted the original 'route' then recreated it from the 'track' and haypres...

Strangely little or no reviews available online. Last drop bar bike I had was a Raleigh Clubman which I bought after I moved to Devon from Scotland in 1979. The Peugeot three speed I rode was hopeless down here although I and the Clubman struggled with hills round Totnes. The Moray coastal plain whe...

Has anyone got a Vagabond and care to review?
I might be about to win a new bike in a competition (see end of 'five minute jobs' thread)

Fitted new Conti Folding MK2 and XK on new DTS 481 rims using thumbs only. Did you tape the rims or did they come taped? Had a problem with WTB rims as they were taped flat across the well. I taped these new rims myself just the well as using tubes to make sure the tyres seated down in. As a rule of...

My last five minute job took four hours.
Is that close enough?

On the plus side just imagine how much this 'five minute job' would have cost at the lbs?

Just to show the depth of my ignorance of smartphones and their ilk would a small (A5ish) tablet achieve the same?

Is it possible to use it as a 'dumb unit' say without simm card just as a gps?
Would this work outside uk?
Cant see why not as no networks involved and relying solely on gps chip.

Re using mobile phone. I would be interested to know how this works. Is it triangulation of base stations or with a gps chip built in or a gps module sitting alongside? If triangulation are there areas where you are off grid and therefore no gps? Problems with battery life and charging in the field ...

The only things I'd like to improve now are the fact that each of the points I used in the creation of the route shows up as a pin and has a label next to it so this covers part of the map so I'd like to just have a dot and no label but it's no big deal and I expect this is built in to the software...
