Looks a bit like a Selle Anatomica saddle. https://selleanatomica.com/

Pair of DT Swiss 533d rims in a vague effort to go tubeless.

Amen to that. Not just limited to cyclists though. Think society overall is 10% twit.

In no order whatsoever: Cotic Bfe - 26" fun bus and fave ride at the moment Cotic Escapade - Gravel iron Rikulau 931 road bike - Used to import this Taiwanese brand, Summer road bike blinged up with Campag Record and H plus Son hoops Kona Smoke - bike I use for work teaching Bikeability and the...

Why do vegans always have to mention the fact that they are vegan? Why do people who ride bikes always mention that they ride bikes? :wink: (same for anything else that is part of a lifestyle choice) Not only cyclists. Mrs does the local ParkRun and there's a bunch that wear Vegan Runners vests.

It’s just another way of commodifying the outdoors. Imagine if it caught on in a big way.., say if lots of farmers in the Lakes saw it as a way of boosting their income a bit. If you had a couple of scenic hill tarns on your land where you might see a tent or two on a summer weekend, why not put a ...

With that type of budget I'd be after a Solaris max. Must admit I've a soft spot for Cotics - got a couple of them.

Following with interest.

Planning on doing the TCW in July over two days with a bit added on as the rest of the family are staying on the coast.

Would your version be starting at Knighton or somewhere else on the border ?

Ride down lots of things in the Peak on my single speed crosser which has 35mm tyres. Can tackle most things apart from rock gardens like Cave Dale and the Beast. Use Schwalbe Landcruisers and inner tubes. Cheap, heavy, but the sidewalls are as stiff as a board which means I hardly get any pinch fla...

Depends how much you fart I guess.

Cheers Stu. I'll give it a crack on that.

Considering doing the Trans Cambrian in July, probably over a couple of days.

Is it possible on a gravel bike without too much swearing or is the route firmly in MTB territory ?

Here's a link to the route on GPSies: https://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=ivxvalbohfokkedx

Something I came up with a few months ago: https://velotastic.co.uk/the-peak-divide/

First half is the toughest.

Had a few Frog bikes for our little one. A bit like a poor mans Isla Bike. Costs a bit of an outlay to start with but we've managed to sell ones she's outgrown without taking too much of a hit.

I was going to do the full two days but decided to cut it short as I'm still recovering from an an injury and decided to err on the side of caution. Ended up kipping overnight on the banks of Lake Vrnwy and then did a long loop east and then south onto the Montgomery canal. Was thinking of heading u...

Paving slab of chocolate chip banana loaf baked with the help of my 10 year old.

All I've got to remember now is to bring it with me and not eat it on the drive down.

Called in at Go Outdoors on the way home from work for a pressie for my dad and some boil in the bag food for the WRT just in case.

Somehow a MSR Trailshot ended up in my basket. Dunno how that happened.

Got an extra 10% with my YHA membership which was nice.

I've just removed the link.

The thought of bikepacking groupies and event blaggers descending on mid-Wales on a bank holiday fills me with terror.

Here you go fella. Here's the relevant page on Grid Reference Finder.

Removed the link.

Got an Garmin Etrex to Edge mount converter. Seems to be a good tight fit. https://www.shapeways.com/product/XF3QS ... arketplace

Went down to one when my daughter was born 10 years ago as fatherhood got in the way of riding and in a moment of madness had a clearout. Back up to around a dozen now which is a far more sensible number. Currently going through a similar first world problem to you on what bike to take on the WRT - ...

I might be up for the 125 LHC ride. Think it was the mention of cafe's that swung it.

Please keep us in the loop.

First time WRT rider so I feel that I better get off on the right note. I'll bring some banana loaf along.
