Thanks Paul.

Found the info I was after on the Stooge website.

Can anyone tell me if there are significant differences with the Stooge 29+ over the various iterations please?

I'd been following his dot. Even though he's got previous with the TD, that is some achievement.

For those partial to some pretty pics on Instagram, I'm 4 days into a month's Tour of France.

Thanks Bob

I've a pal who's wanting to do a big ride in the Cairngorms with friends, some of whom will be on gravel bikes.

I suggested the outer loop of the classic CG loop.

Any improvements on that?

Read the rules, pacers are allowed.

I've done a good few miles fixed off-road over the years. That gearing, narrow tyres and no suspension.

O.M.G.

New project requires some road hydraulic brakes and levers.

A pair of TRP Hylex would be lush.

Post mount.

Shimano or Sram otherwise.

For a singlespeed so shifters don't need to work!

Where did you see this info Rich? I wasn't watching closely but I think he (understandably) shot straight through FW?

Instagram stories.

I thought it very rude you not stopping for a chat.

My tips. Find a track that is technically easy to ride up. A decent consistent surface would be good. Don't underestimate the descents.

Good luck

The makings of a fixie project.

Put in a last minute entry.

That's great, well done.

I may be selling my Hexamid pocket tarp soon if Tom decides he doesn't want it. :wink: PM if he decides it's no good? :wink: Cheers.. I already PM'd him this morning! :lol: (Waits for someone to point out they did the same last night...) :grin: It would go quick by the look of it! Haha! Tom and I w...

After many years of searching, I am now the proud owner of a Zpacks Hexamid Solo and bathtub floor. From the date on the label, it looks like it was one of the last made before the model was discontinued. A little less room than the Lunar Solo, but a similar vibe. Saves about 300 grams. https://i.im...

Yep, I've bee following Bas on insta. It looks like a very tough route.

I'm looking for a project frame and fork to be built around a 700c White Industries ENO eccentric wheel.

Has to have 135mm QR dropout and disc brake mounts. Something lightweight and steel ideally.

Any suggestions on which models to look for?

Thanks

A pair of SALSA EXP Anything Cages

These have been fitted to a bike, then taken off again.

I was all set and ready for it—albeit completing rather than competing—but am now in a race against time to be fit, having had a big off last week. I think my body'll be ok given a few more days, but my face is a right mess and I'm currently on a liquid/chocolate milk diet as it's too painful to ea...

I try and carry a mix of pegs. 4 wide Ti channels, a couple of long Al Stakes, 2 Ti nails and, 4 carbon pegs. The theory being that at least some of them will make bomber anchors. eg. 3 solid pegs will hold up a Lunar Solo. I heard something recently about a guy who had a geodesic tent that was doin...
