Re: Clear out - frames, fat bike stuff, free stuff etc.
Having a sizeable clear out in the garage, as I've somehow ended up with far too much bike stuff, and keep buying more! I feel your pain :lol: I am in the same boat, I cleared a few big ticket items last year but need to start again and fully clear it out. I hadnt realised just how much of a hoarde...

Re: Trailmech hubs
Same as everyone here. I suspect the hubs in the first post are Novatec / Bitex and will more than likely be absolutely fine.
I have a set of hunts, trailwides from 2021. They need new grease in the freehub a bit more often than some DT Swiss I have, but other than that just keep on running.

Out of curiosity, how do 'scrathers' get back to base?
Control car, or just tour a direct route?

Couple of hard to post items. Rockshox Judy QR 29er coil sprung fork. 170mm steerer (straight). Taken from my wife's Trek Marlin. £20 collected. EDIT. 100mm Travel, disc mount only. Some rub damage to the underside of the arch. Some decent scuffing to the legs (Stantions look ok) https://live.static...

Looong Saddles?
Has anyone particularly looked at longer saddles? My absolute favourite is a Chromag Trailmaster, which are hard to get in the UK. I have also seen that brooks cambium is almost as long, I had a C15 in the past and didn't get on with it but someone suggested a C17 carved may work more comparably to ...

QR bolt through axle?
Hi, Looking to replace bolt through axles, in particularly the front one with a bolt through axle. Possibly. I take the front wheel off regularly, 6 times a week perhaps. No big deal I know but it would be convenient to use a bolt through with a little handle on. I have seen DT Swiss but am aware th...

Re: Have tarps lost their popularity?
I switched to a tent from a tarp a while ago (just before a hiatus from bivving / camping much at all as it happened) My reasons... and these are all purely my opinion obvs. I found flat tarps to be a bit of a pain in the bum to set up always low to the ground (unless massive). Yes, I knew how to us...

Re: What's your single best item you own for camping?
A pillow.
I know it makes me soft, or old... I don't care
For bike camping. I have a sea to summit Aeros (I think), it packs tiny and makes a massive improvement to comfort.
Motorcycle camping. I have a klymit luxe pillow which is fantastically comfortable.

Re: Fat Fighters '24. The year for deflation!
Some days damage limitation is the best we can do mate. For me, 103kg start 103kg today. Either my scales are stuck, or I'm not doing enough.
