2nd :D

Really good brakes those Spyres-notSpykes are :) Just inner spacing is a bit tight.
Its about 1-2mm gap from spokes on my bike (Kinesis CX wheels)

I would go with Canyon. Most of mid range Boardmans are just an ordinary Chinese frames sold with million% margin. Canyon's all frames are hi tech developed in house + they are cheaper comparing same spec other brand bikes.

You need to cross a knee deep river, do you?

I missed the option of riding it through

What size you are? I have a Cannondale CAADX 2011-2012 frameset (size - 56cm) for sale, + all other bits (10sp 105 shifters, brand new SPA cycles chainset, everyhing else original). Just made a fresh custom repaint in Volkswagen Deep Black Pearl with Cannondale brand stickers under clear coat... Fra...

For CX use I can only recommend Rose Bikes rim http://www.rosebikes.co.uk/article/xtre ... aid:333724 Light, stiff and cheap. Unfortunately 36 holes only...

Stans are so fragile that are more suitable to hang on a wall hook than ride off road... try mavic open pro or cxp 33

I have to wait till end of Feb to book in, I'm on motorbike and don't need much space for parking. Hope there will be one spare ticket till that date

Well swapping chainring costs less than £350 difference from On One fatty.. I think there's a lot of overweight in tyres aswell...

I think heavy and fat bike is like synonyms anyway :D

What do you guys think about this one?

Oh I need a day off from work..

£48 per rim doesn't look cheap at all...

I'm using the Trespass one. Can fit a lot of stuff, but it's good only for road riding as it bounces a lot going off road.

Nice down jackets http://www.tog24.com/mens/jackets/insul ... ology=2900

Previous year done BB200 with 46-36 x 11-28 (was a bit too hard actually ) , this year enjoying 38 x 11-34

I use Android phone with OruxMaps App. It allows to download OS maps of selected area. There is size limit of downloaded map, but I could fit WRT '14 in one file, it also switches automatically between map files, so can't see problems there. Phone is in flight mode all the time and full charge lasts...

Go with MTB, last year I've rattled my soul out on alloy CX And this year it should be more difficult

Nearly finished my new gravel grinder...

FJ1200 is famous for not having good brakes from new anyway :)

I would't recommend any bike with Claris groupset - worst thing shimano made ever...

Depends on your+bike weight and tires... I've never had a pinch flat on CX, using Kenda cross supreme's
