thanks guys, job done already

Any recommended torque for nipping up such a bolt.into a carbon fork?

Thanks guys

How do I loosen it, which part has the adjustment?

I felt like there was some play in my headset on my last ride so had a look last night, took off the top cap and a couple of spacers and found this .. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52661274988_9ee1ab7ece_z.jpg 20230131_153125 by Shewie , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5266106558...

That's one way of blagging some extra votes

No need to worry about the price as I expect them to sell out in the first day, so unless you stay up tonight to order one as soon as they come online then they'll be sold out by the time we get up tomorrow morning.

Orders opened at 4pm this aft

Pm incoming

I had access to some online exercises after I buggered mine up a few years ago, I'll see if I can find them and I'll PM you the link if it's still live

Postie hasn't been but I've just bought some tickets for Mark Beaumont's Faster tour in Leeds next month

I recommend Minttu as an alternative to meths, especially with hot chocolate

(it would probably work as a fuel too, it's a bit lively)

We always camped out as kids - summer holidays would be spent high up in the fields that overlooked the village. Most folk had obtained ex-German army sleeping bags which were waterproof, so tents were generally lacking. However, I think the first time I did something that could be deemed as 'bikep...

First "bikepacking" trip was around 1988, me and a mate rode from Keighley to Burnsall on our Raleigh Techniums, complete with DIY rear racks holding our monster Lichfield tents, I'm pretty sure I used my external frame Karrimor pack too as I couldn't fit my german army sleeping bag on the...

If it's cold I tend to shove mine in the bag when I wake up and lie there for a bit whilst it warms up. I also do the same with my bottle of meths.

^^ This ^^

Although I use a 1oz flat bottle for meths and keep it in a chest pocket overnight

I've got a couple of bits for sale on trek-lite but thought I'd offer them here too before they go to ebay at the weekend. Mountain Hardwear Dynotherm down jacket, mens medium, a bargain at £45 - pics here .... https://www.trek-lite.com/index.php?threads/mountain-hardwear-dynotherm-jacket.11318/ - S...

Very few packs are waterproof or designed to be AFAIK, with the exception of Lightwave or some of the dcf offerings, or there's the roll top types. Seams won't be taped and the zips won't be waterproof either, ai think a DIY diluted silicone approach might make the pack as heavy as when it's wet so ...

Can you put anything you want to keep dry inside a dry bag instead?

I quite like the crank bros double shot I have on my mtb, not quite as nice/easy to clip into as shimano but they've lasted well so far

I use a tread lite gear dcf pole bag when bikepacking with my Notch tent, but it doesn't have any loops so would need modding. I use voile straps to hold the tent and poles in place on top of my Confucious bars.

Prior to that I used a DIY ripstop bag which worked fine

Some good bargains in the Pedaled sale ...

I had an incident with a down jacket touching a wood stove on a hot tent trip, I sent it to Alpkit for repair but wasn't overly impressed with the work, a glued patch would've been neater I think.

I'll be parking the bike for a few months after this weekend, doing the TGOC again this May so need to find my hill legs again

Thanks for the reminder Stu

I've got around 3000 vinyl, a pair of 1210s and a couple of mixers to shift one day, I keep getting pestered to deal with it but I can't bring myself to get rid, too many good memories

We're a generation of consumers, and suckers for marketing, riding a wave of easy cash and blessed (cursed?) with being able to buy whatever and whenever we want

I say make the most of it while you can

I'm a big fan of the Thermos Ultimate, been using them for years in various sizes
