HI, I am looking to source a set of 21 speed shifters brake levers and V Brakes for a friends old bike as his shifters have bitten the dust. looking to upgrade from cantis to v brakes as I cant find any cheap shifter/canti lever combinations anywhere and seems easier just to swap the whole lot to v ...

Cheers, now to get to work!

I was wrong,a big crane but not on the top of the dam, im not surprised that Hammond was in a pissymood that day screw doing that

A recreation of the old ad they had for the 90 (different dam though) :wink: I believe the reason for doing it is that the original was faked (winch was at the top of the dam, not on the front of the land rover) and to prove it is possible to winch up a dam with a land rover. :-bd I think this one ...

If i end up needing a deposit I'll then make a Google docs spready with the names on and most importantly the steps I am taking and the status of each step. I didn't get...

If this is still a goer put me down for one

Two questions spring to mind with this thread: 1) what would the uptake have been if Taylor has said they were £10, £15 or £20 each? (even if money went to charity) 2) If everybody bought Taylor a pint of beer for each bivvy bag they requested, how long would it take him to drink them? There's obvi...

If all the above offers fall through I'll have the bars, PM sent

If you end up with any extras you don't want I'll have 2 for a tenner each, I know 2 mates that would appreciate a bag to pop their wild camping cherries!

Ordered one 29" here I come....... :shock: What size frame have you ordered and how talk are you? I'm thinking of going for the 17.5 frame I'm 5' 8" with shortish legs/longish body My initial instinct would say the 16 inch model but the long body may sway that. What's your inside leg? I t...

Lol Barney you could be talking about me there! Im in and solo so im up for joining the club!

It might be worth taking a look at something like a Luxe Mini Peak. Single pole pyramid with a detatchable (1 person, although a 2p version is available) inner nest, lots of room, quick to pitch and like most pyramids will handle the weather pretty well. A+1 for the luxe tents, I use a sil peak hex...

Very good Dave it looks like it was a successful outing, I wish I could have made it but alas Friday nights weather changed everything as Saturday I spent trying to put my house back together

Right then i'm getting set, maps sourced, bike running sweet (nearly) bivi kit chosen and re chosen, food mound growing healthily I have no plan B, except a quick sprint back to the car on main roads if it all goes wrong for me, but saying that, i'm quite happy to sit it out as long as i can stay dr...

Yeah I agree with getting the sawyer mini, it will go in line on a bladder can drink straight from the source via the included straw or fill the pouch and drink directly, or sometimes I will decant filtered water into a couple of water bottles

Socks :shock: Yep, my wife buys me them to replace the ones my stepdaughter "borrows" to wear to the stables never to be seen again. It's become a bit of a running joke. I wasn't taking the urine i replied without seeing your post. i got socks, it was the only "outdoory" type of...
