They might have to rename the brand itself in case Salsa dancers or Salsa eaters get offended

...except that is in fact why the brand is called Salsa, Ross Shafer's prodigious consumption of it.

The joke goes that American place names are either the first to get there or the last to leave.

Will if it's found that the Yeti feels offended. I'd be offended if I was a/the Yeti :smile: Yeti (cycle, CO, USA) had "an issue" coming from Change.org; they (change.org) 'petitioned' to force Yeti to stop using the term Yeti "tribe" (owners group). I was just thinking about Ye...

Not sure about the new name though. No, doesn't do much for me either. I've always felt that Heyday is something in the past, giving the impression the bike is no longer at its best! Agree, this is a bit like when they rebranded the "Journeyman" to "journeyer". I don't mind drop...

When I got my Cutthroat Salsa hadn't coordinated the delivery of EXP framebags. Straight cut designs made me one that was a perfect fit. Ross had blueprints from Salsa for the Cutty, might have them for the Fargo as well.

Another thumbs up for Openfietsmap from me as well.

Just sunglasses and not with a prescription lens?

Have a look on eBay, plenty of POC and 100% copies at a price that won't cause too much upset if ruined.

While I get the weight/bulk issue if the OP is only going to be rehydrating stuff then a jetboil that does the job of boiling very well with no faff isn't such a bad idea.

A bit like that bloke with the shavers, I borrowed one, loved it, then bought one! :lol: https://advntr.cc/wildcat-100-the-race-that-never-was/ If you're getting a second wheelset get a 650b one, the warroad can fit Senderos, at least as a 1x it can. 650b Ventures might be a good shout too for 50/50...

The Warroad spec is for 650b x 47 or 700c x 35 so 38s were always going to be a stretch...

I run 650b x 47 on mine so can't help on the 35 suggestions, but gravel king slicks in a 32 were always decent as are Hutchinson Fusion5 11Storm.

Haven't stayed in one for ages. My OH wouldn't be happy with "rough n ready" accommodation and the last time I looked at one a "proper" hotel was either the same price or negligible difference in price.

Fear not. The UCI will be along soon to crush you under the weight of their definitions and regulations.

Not what you've asked but... I have the 50cm Redshift drops on mine with their cruise control grips under the tape. https://granfondo-cycling.com/redshift-kitchen-sink-handlebar-cruise-control-grips-and-bar-tape-long-term-review/ The wide tops probably aren't far off my first 90s mtb and the drops a...

I've always considered the pressures printed on the sides of tyres complete works of fiction!

50psi?! I don't put that much in for two of us on the tandem!

Don't forget the generous helping of swearing stage!

Of course I made the school boy error of fitting them to check the fit and then add sealant. I have a new bottle of Stan's race or them and there is no way in hell I can now shift the bead to fill them! I'll have to go and buy some thinner sealant I can get through the valve with the core out. Seal...

Apologies if I'm coming across as a know all but aren't feather allergies very rare and it's the dust mites associated which with a new down bag in nylon is a low risk?

In any case, to answer your question, I have a Mountain Hardware Lamina that's brilliant and I was previously a down bag advocate.

At the risk of revealing my ignorance, aren't OS Landranger (1:50k) and Explorer (1:25k) products *only* available as raster/image format, not vector. The OS makes vector products at those scales, but the cartography is quite different. No, I think you're right. I should probably have said that the...

It’s a different question but has anyone managed to get the OS map file off one of these SD cards to be viewable on any app (either Apple or android) on a mobile phone. I am aware of the OS app but I was hoping to find an app which would allow me to view the OS files off the SD card whilst offline....

With the ~£20 or less pricing for most WTB Roadplus tyres on CRC I've gone for another pair of Byways for the Warroad and some Ventures on the Tandem (that sees more offroad use). One thing about the Ventures is that the "dinosaur scales" in the middle do seem to hold onto stones/stone chi...

Used but I couldn’t tell it wasn’t brand new.

£6.83 inc postage from AbeBooks

Used once and sold on isn't a great review for a cookbook!

Full price items only IIRC.

They used to be erratic with that in store as their discounting is all over the place, seem to be tightening up these days though with SD in charge

JD rather than SD for Go Outdoors isn't it?

Arizona Trail Tace isn't it that mandates carrying across the Grand Canyon section? That's for 20 odd miles iirc so I'd want more than some nylon webbing for that. Regarding Snowdon, I'd apply liberal amounts of Rule 1 for that. Ban or no ban if it's deserted, ride it. If it's chocka avoid like the ...

Ràpha MTB Trail ones are good. Wore them for Grinduro so not too baggy for doing a lot of pedalling in. The adjusters work well and the pockets are sensible. Bet you ride a Salsa gravel bike to go with your Raphà kit :roll: • • • • :lol: :lol: :lol: I have two in fact, and kit that matches them bot...
