Available in the Uk anywhere? Actually quite fancy giving some a go

Those bars look great fun, have tried drops on the inbred and never quite got it right before giving up…..they might just be the thing…..

These take bar end shifters to make thumbies. I actually preferred them to the Pauls ones I had before as these put the shifters nearer the bars. £15 posted https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/gear-spares/jtek-special-thumb-shifter-brackets-for-222-mm-bars-black/ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51287775...

Robust, simple and pretty niche Retroshift (now branded Gevenalle) levers/mounts with 9 speed Shimano Dura ace shifters. 9 speed indexed (or friction) rear, 2x or 3x front friction. Gevenalle make the mounts and sell them fitted to Tektro levers. The left mount can be removed from the lever easy eno...

10% would seem reasonable, just can’t face paying full price for anything there. A victim of their own shenanigans!

Really smart! I keep looking at the fireline or the el viajero but waiting on the planet X pricing roulette

WTB Nanos here, I specifically got the Race version rather than the TCS version for the same reason. Any TCS WTB tyres won't seat with tubes for me.

Nah ec34. I actually mailed them this week, Mk5 in August and scramblers next spring. Not an easy bike to actually buy! Maybe an earlier incarnation? Joys of being a one man band I suppose. Only so much money to purchase with and a popular product. I know Andy did say he was hoping to get things re...

Aren't they designed to be used with a rigid fork rather than suspension?

They are built round a rigid fork but many people do fir sus' forks to them.

Can you still buy straight steerer forks that will fit though

Thanks for the comments, it’s the latest one I was looking at, need some magic Planet X pricing shenanigans.... Shaf, yeah all my current bikes are steel however steel mtbs where ruined by cen testing about 2010 imo and now all seem to be boat anchors for the most part. Apart from the price I don’t ...

Ignoring the obvious Planet X love / hate anyone got or ridden one as a do it all hard tail? Mostly trails and bit of bikepacking.

Looking for a new hard tail 29er with 2.6 tyre clearance and we’ll ti is shiney

Used for one trip in the US camping out of the back of a Chevy for a few weeks. Porch is massive which is why we got it. Super easy to pitch and a great tent. Excellent condition, only pegs show signs of use as expected. I need something bigger now... £150 posted https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...

I have a pair of them Sjs thumbie brackets in my spares . In use I actually preferred the position to Paul’s , but yeah 22.2

Actually have a set of gevenalle / retroshift with 9 speed dura ace levers for the project that has never happened!

I also did not get on with bar ends , have tried twice

I think the first thing is to fully accept that you will be compromised 50% of the time. After accepting that fact, go and buy a SA kickback two speed hub ... it's almost like having gears but there's no shifters or cables, so no one will know :-bd This is exactly what I have on my ‘single speed’ r...

Have a pair of schwalbe snow stud 700x38 in the loft, used them once then decided could never be arsed fitting them again, if it’s Ivey or snowy I’ll go for a trail run instead. It’s just the odd day not months on end

My wife has an etsy shop selling vintage costume jewellery, good quality faux pearl necklaces are at least 80% of her sales!

I never managed to visit the planet x store because whenever I was near it I could never park anywhere, so for me it was a stupid location. Hopefully the Alpkit store will be easier to visit as being able to see the bikes would be good.
