So,it wasn't the axle adapter afterall, it was totally fine. The cones on the axle were loose. 17mm cone spanners needed and the biggest I have is 16mm, and all my 17mm spanner are too fat as you'd expect :roll: Anyway I've swapped everything across to my hope endura wheels I was keeping for rougher...

So, I finally got out last night for April's BAM after a new mount for my ebike conversion battery arrived yesterday afternoon. Here's Old Sparky loaded up and ready to go. Some weight! But the only excess items were my DSLR with telephoto lens and a full walking waterproof jacket. The hammock under...

If the part I've ordered comes today (yeh A...

So was I. How disappointing!

Back OT, Shetland is bloody covered in peat and I only ever saw standard trig points. But I may have deposited the odd curry stool

Excellent :-bd I've had that triangle.on my list for years since I did my first bikepacking trip on the using the Deesside way and some of the northern Speyside way too long ago. Was thinking of Fortmartine way from Aberdeen to get to the Moray, and back to Aberdeen. Maybe I'll have to try to do it ...

Seems you misunderstood me Reg; Blue badge as in Disabled Badge

Special dispensation for e-assist I wasn't actually wanting a badge

I tried it in turbo mode (restriction turned off) to the nearest village shop and back. Normally takes me about 25 minutes, took me 14.5mi minutes and no sweat, so maybe it is rocket assist! :o Not that I plan on using turbo generally and certainly not for long rides or any BAMers. If it wasa proble...

Just managed to electrify my old Charge Cooker 3 hard tail with a tongsheng kit... https://i.postimg.cc/njj6nwsJ/IMG-20230415-172443-863.jpg :grin: And been sussing out a hammockable spot today. So hopefully I can get April done shortly without knocking myself out for a week. I'm assuming e-assist i...

Cheers

Tongsheng mid drive arrived for my old hard tail last night (birthday present), so I'm hoping when that's fitted I can do more consistent exercise with out buggering myself up so much. Only issue is there's now no framebag/bottle space

Hmmm.... Just had a hotshot parmo and Eton Mess Sundae. I'll not weigh in today.... https://i.postimg.cc/sXppW4XG/IMG-20230407-131015-673.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/T1fnJ5L7/IMG-20230407-134511-980.jpg That was taking my Mam out. Off to my daughter's in a bit for round two this evening :shock: Tbh... ...

Good find. There's one along the coast from me I was thinking of, but it's a bit overlooked and no door. I have been looking up old Royal Observer Corps bunkers in the area too. I was down in one years ago which was pretty cool, though I did have a bit of anxiety that some one would shut the lid and...

Good luck with that train to Thurso from Perth. I looked and it's anything between 8 and 14 hours with one change, assuming there's no delays or bus sections on the day. I guess atleast you'd have you camping gear for on it :lol: I have a friend near Brora and getting public transport there from whe...

All weather Cambium carved c17 has been ace for me at a lighter weight (93kg iirc) and long days or road and gravel, and now at much heavier. My lighter friend also swears by the c15 for road and gravel.

There's often good offers on them if you look about.

Sorry just noticed 'Dream Cycle" oat meal stout. Deserve a gold star for that I just saw 'tins of beer' initially.

If I thought it wouldn't give me disaster pants I'd have liked to try that.

Dare I ask what's in the jar???

Looks like cheese cubes and chopped peperami to me. Need a foil wrapped orange and cocktail sticks for a more civilised soiree

I know the feeling Gairym. My back (SI joint) still stopping play. Ironic that doing stretches and mobility is what put it out :roll: I have come.to some realisations regarding my binge issue and the lack of any meaningful exercise has calmed the hunger, so for all I've not been dieticious I have be...

The main problem I'd see is them jiggling about and wearing holes in your frame bag, and fairly quickly too if they're rough or sharp. Maybe just put some old drink bottles in full of pond water (so you're not tempted to drink it!)

Actually passes maybe 600m from my house

Oh FFS! Was doing some mobility and stretches earlier and my bloody lower backs gone now! Just got up to go to the loo and my legs were feeling like they were going to give in. Atleast I have a stash of naproxen, see if that helps. I give up

Cheers I really would worry if I was craving marmite

Yeh long term issues with recurring CFS along, knackered joints, and heart issue.

:-bd to you guys Undecided whether it bother weighing in tomorrow, though I guess I should. Have hardly left the house since the weekend, as I'm so exhausted and my legs hurt. Last ride was last Friday. I've not been bad eating wise (for me I've been good) , just not particularly dieticious. Did a s...
