Do I want em... :???: Given the state of your other tyres, the answer is probably yes... Just ordered some Panaracer Gravelking tlc sk in tan side wall and 32mm wide. Reports are that they're baggier than stated so might come in at 34mm. Hopefully they'll give me a good happy life :-bd thanks for p...

GP5000? They perform well, but exactly the same happened to me and in less miles than I'd usually expect from a tyre. But no, don't bother riding much on them. Yup... gp5000 in tubeless flavour. I can't fault em though as I was taking em for off road jaunts every so often for tiny stints of rocky a...

It was hidden under the mudguards so I had no idea!

You wanna get that looked at

Got some lovely part worn Schwalbe Pro One 25’s you could have for £30 the pair =)) :lol: question is, did they work for you... i tried remounting the other 2 I have (with patches from tiny holes) byt its not happening tubeless...

Again... Dunno if it's new gear (though it's all new to me) but these tires https://www.merlincycles.com/vittoria-terreno-mix-tnt-g20-folding-cyclocross-tyre-700c-186958.html?utm_source=PHG&utm_medium=AffiliateMarketing&utm_campaign=phg-GB&ucpo=109741&source=PHG Do I want em... :???:

and the answer is

Luckily, the bus was going just slow enough to hit them

no off course not (I shouldn't risk it)..

You are right Stu, but if it gives the market more choice of kit then it’s all good. I’ve lost count of the number of people who are looking for a gravel/adventure bike as their next purchase. I can’t see the point really when a CX bike does all that and is more racey. I’ve just seen a colleague on...

Bob, ta on the update as you had me worried there for a mo that my legs were totally naff. Thankfully, from going through the leaderboard and Karl and co who've also ony climbed it the once, it did seem to have given them a sting too (ie. their climbing time is slwoer than mine which could only mean...

Hows sizing for yourself?? Dont forget if its within distance to drop it (via bike) off then a couple quid discount can be factored in aswell

Thanks for that... sorry its too big ...

Doubt you'd get Stu playing this game to be fair. He does have a strava account but its dormant... would be an interesting sqaure to see where he's adventured throighout his (well) ventures...

Agreed... besides. If a gravel bike did ever have added Fox36 with 130ish of travel then it'd become an mtb regardless (Steve.. )...

Enjoy.... Don't forget Steve, after coming off the TpennineTrail you turn left towards the openeing through the 2 bollard things then left and immediate right and down towards thw gate. After getting out of other end on industrial estate, its actually a one way road so you have to ride left then cl...

Only ever had one tyre go pop on me (well it was the rim that the pads had worn through) I'm sensing a theme developing here... I call it taking it to the limit. But I did learn a lesson from when the rim wore through and try to have a beyter buffer these days. :smile: I actually feel quite privele...

Done... I'm putting on the other tyre which I tried to ebay a while back then will order myself some GravelKings (or similar) so I can get more then 2000 off the next sets

thats why i thought I'd better ask. Only ever had one tyre go pop on me (well it was the rim that the pads had worn through)

if my square is showing empty spaces, will they fill in as i ride them when logging the ride using strava? i have a few empty spaces that i ride in on a regular basis. Tony, a square will only become blue once the adjacent (top bottom left n right but not diagonals) squares have also been ridden th...

Well, protecting the pizza actually. Trying to get the most out my road tires. They've seen a small amount of gravel and cobbles but generally had a good life and given me many miles. But no the rear is looking like this and the delamination section of about 6cm had been covered over with Tesa tubel...

I even put a carefully selected 25 percent climb Where's that Shaf? :lol: :lol: Thats the thing... Everyone made it seem pan-flat. To be fair it's not actually 25% and maybe that's why noone noticed the climbing. I've only ever measured it (whilst virtually trying to stop my helmet falling off back...

Stu... can you ger special orders in... Lets say for example if someone wanted the tool roll but in the green flavour??

Also, does the tool roll velcro nicely to the BB/DT/ST junction as thinking to have it sat there on the road bike permanently

Hi Shaf. For various reasons, myself and a mate are now hoping to ride your route this coming Thursday (23rd). - Really looking forward to it ! We'll do it following ITT rules, but will stay together. Will let you know how we get on. :-bd :-bd I hope it puts up more of a challenge for you than it d...

Yep Eaton Hall is definitely an elusive tile - only way to bag it will be an open day. Hoping August open day will be on, otherwise it’ll be a long wait to next year! Believe me I’ve been staring at this tile for a week or so, and had a look at pretty much every conceivable entrance - all locked ga...

Armpit to AP on the one Colin is showcasing above is 51cm but then its kinda tapered so about 10cm lower the 'end to end' is 47cm... 80cm length from top of neck at the back to the bottom edge round back... Armpit to AP on the Kona (made in Fiji btw... ahem :-bd ) being 56cm but then tapers to 50cm ...
