Only 13:27pm here in Florida

Guys are wondering why I keep disappearing back to the office

Can I be the first to suggest buying a copy of Roger Musson's book and doing it yourself? :wink: I didn't want to be the first but I'll certainly second that Well I couldn’t do any worse than a certain Banbury based shop as witnessed at the Christmas jolly. What equipment would I need? I have some ...

I do hope David can retrieve his Volvo XC before the local farmer passes again

thanks guys. if i may ask, would one of you kindly take two measurements? inside gap between the two handlebar arms, and outside distance of the two handlebar bars. thanks. 60mm between the arms and they are 10mm thick (80mm outside distance). Pictures against a ruler of the various measurements he...

I picked one up last month for my Mukluk. It's fitted to Salsa Rustler carbon bars and is as mje25 says, very stable and solid If anything, at least for a SS setup the frame mount arms are almost too long. As they are aluminium though I've seen talk of machining them down to suit your setup I rode f...

Course over, car fuelled and loaded for the journey home

Except no tea, no cake and no banter

1/12 after a somewhat eventful January 2017 had been a pretty good year of riding but it all but stopped after the BB200. Working overseas and a series of bouts of manflu attacks kept me away from the bike and festive Xmas riding. I was entered for the Cafe Racer but needed to be in Austria for the ...

A similar view to Motorman's but this one nr, Aspangburg St. Peter in Austria

Part of my BAM2018 ride. Though this was part of the character building push phase

[quote="BigdummySteve"]I’m a bit further north than you in Oxfordshire but have been reduced to walking on the flat as the plus tyres picked up several kilograms of clag.

It's no better over the border Steve

:smile:. Trouble is, Roo, you can't rest on your laurels and we're all now eagerly expecting the next wacky adventure. I've been trying to keep your seat warm with some of my loony adventures, but welcome back :-bd. Unfortunately Reg all I can do at the moment is read about the events I’ve paid int...

Entry in and I’ll have a spare tube this time t

Poor old Roo, that's right cheeky our Steve, there'll be at least 20 of us I would think :wink:. Yer man'll be on gruel and water for the rest of the weekend after that. Not sure I can make the Star on Friday night. Work of course :grin: :grin: Once again work gets in the way of play :???: Small co...

You on the single speed Andy?

And with fat tyres

Hi Gari, I have the 2 x 10 speed Sram setup off of my 2013 Whyte Saxon Cross in the garage. I can dig it out if you are interested

i'm interested. Train to Lockerbie isn't horrendous

Great to return to the forum after a work induced vacation and find these comments

Over ambitious routes planned out and back

Slight complication is that I'm supposed to be starting a three week course in Austria 9 am, Monday 15th

Oh, and I want to take my bike with me and hopefully play in the snow

Adidas Terrex Trail Cross Protect
Wore a pair out of the box for BB200 and never looked back. Have the Stealth sole of the 5.10 and are reasonably waterproof. They are on the Adidas website @ 26% discount at the moment but watch out, they come up small in UK sizing. Use the Euro size as a guide

Rediscovered my love for MTB with the the Big Ed. Bitten by the bug of bikepacking to go further and longer. Managed 7,500km by September and thought 10k might be on the cards. Rode BB200 in under 21hrs off a flight from Las Vegas and have hardly ridden since due to work travel. Hope to be back in t...

Should be a parcel from Triton with some sale Salsa parts. Just need to get home to even see them

Dee (and Stu :wink: ) keep up the good work I joined the forum in April this year and never thought a black badge was in my realm. I've altered my clothing, pedals, kit and bicycle based on a filtered view of the collective BB thinking. I even took a gamble on new boots for the event and it paid off...

I also ran a Toro on the bars and Diablo on my helmet. Both on low until the Diablo gave out with 1 hr to go. I then ran the Toro on medium and by then it had only just gone orange on low If I wasn't riding fast :grin: . Then I'd use my SixPack on the bars and the Diablo just for technical sections ...
