Re: Bear kills cyclist in the US
Oh and reading up thread about not having a chance against a Mountain Lion. In the last 100 years there have been a total of 125 attacks, 27 of which were fatal, documented in North America. So minuscule numbers and another example of media hype.

Re: Bear kills cyclist in the US
I was lucky to tour the Great Divide in 2016. I nearly bailed the first night due to bear-fear. I have had plenty of wildlife encounters in the past. eg Lions outside my tent and Elephants 50 metres away in Africa. This was completely different. I cant explain it. A totally irrational fear. I was lu...

Re: Wanted 30mm 29er wheels
Ah bum. Well looks like they have 10 left so might be worth grabbing a pair whilst you see what hubs are around.

Re: Wanted 30mm 29er wheels
Wiggle have WTB i29 rims silly cheap if you have the hubs mate. They actually come up at 580gms each which is ok for an eyleted rim for £23

Re: 27.5+ wheels for my Big Bro
I believe Halo wheels are rebranded Kinlin rims and Novatec hubs. Hunt are rebranded Kinlin rims and Novatec hubs, but hand built and backed up by excellent customer service, so cost a bit more FWIW I have some Halo hubs and my experience of their customer service and tech support was excellent. Th...

Re: 27.5+ wheels for my Big Bro
.... I've swapped notes with Rich at Keep Pedalling (if their wheels are as good as their responsiveness, they will be very good indeed) and have actually gone for Halo Vapour 50s for something different and Hope Pro4s as I'm a maintenance-a-phobe and like the clickety noise to alert wildlife and r...

Re: Suggestions for a budget bike packing bike
I have always ended up underwhelmed by bike to work savings. Think can find better value buying second hand, with carefull looking. Especially as market seems to be cooling at the moment.

Re: Converting an old Ti HT to a gravelwanger
Looks good that. Do gravel bikes have to use drop bars? You could ride it as is, or put on some bendy bars like Jones or Ritchey Kyotes for different hand positions, and then ride it for a while to see how you get on with it?
