Re: Krampus build help

Just my two pence worth.... I run a singular rooster which is a similar beastie. You will find the chain runs very close when on the largest sprocket if you are using a 3" tyre. This won't be a problem in dry conditions. I switched to a Nobby nic 2.6 which still has loads of volume, a nice roun...

Re: Spd shoe sizing and help

I swear by lake MX 161.
I am a 43 but I buy these in a 45
I suspect I could get away with a wide fit 44
But they haven't worn out yet.
They're not flash or ultralight or waterproof.
But they are durable, affordable and comfortable.

Re: Anyone tried a Rockbros illuminated helmet?

I have a MET something or other.
And have an alpkit head torch pretty much permanently attached to it.
If I'm riding in town I set it on flashing.
I think it makes me more visible either side of the A Pillar Blindspot.

Re: Powerbank tip

Hi
I'm not being deliberately annoying, it just comes naturally.
WD40 should not be used anywhere near electronics or contacts.
Use contact cleaner instead.
That is all.
Bye.
