I love the smell of castrol R, takes me back to watching GP racing back when they rode proper bikes

I'm often taken aback by smells, especially after Guinness

Just wondering if I should enter, although I've ridden jogle on a big dummy with lots of off road and wild camping all the way my bike packing trips are usually overnight trips of 30-50 miles.

So what should I expect....talk me into it

One important thing you've all missed. With the zips you can unzip just the front part to securely hold a bag of peanut m&m's

More down than up

Bivvy a month is one cure, I decided to give it a go to get over that winter slump. Believe it or not it's fun! January was fun, a trip to a forest where I hadn't been before, crystal clear skies with a sound track of foxes and owls while sipping Jura malt. This month I ran out the house after drivi...

Just wondered if it would reduce friction, my rohloff is nice after 6000 miles running in but....you know

Aye back in the day I used to ran a 1.8" panracer dart in the rear for that reason.

3" chronicles in last nights mud made me look like something beginning with C, it wasn't cunning

Maxxis minions? 29x2.5 might work well in muddy conditions

Blimmin great hole in your wallet

A standard oil change kit is about £20 anyway so not too much more, despite rohloffs dire warnings I'm sure you could mix a 15ml bottle in with the standard oil. Might be worth a shot.

Going on the poor performance of my chronicles in the post freeze mud I'd try some surly dirt wizards









(mainly so you can tell me if they are any good thus avoiding wasting my own money)

I wonder what would happen if I put a bottle in my rohloff

I do something similar with a couple of spare knog lights, I attach them pointing at the road underneath the bike and it really makes a big difference In visibility especially from the side.

2/2 assuming I survive the night, arrived back from Devon much later than planned only to be informed that mrs dummy is away in York next weekend! Cycled up canal 6 miles in dark ( after hurried packing and emergency IPA stop) I appear to have all I need although in the rush im a little light on ins...

Jpaks make one I think, they also do a huge top tube bag

Rack now sold

Good, light use and plenty of use left in it

Go on then £50 it is, to be honest I can't see me using it again, I'm in Devon until the weekend (without the bike ) so postage will be a little delayed. PM incoming

My ECR has triple bosses on the inside of the down tube, at the moment i use the lower two for a bottle cage. If you want I can experiment with an anything cage there, my tent might fit there. It also has a normal bottle mount on the underside, this is very useful as I can run a BBB oversized cage t...

I picked up mine for £300 from wiggle, I went for the LW as it's under KG and rattles about in a small bag attached to an anything cage. Its very easy to pitch as well, as a solo tent it's very roomy for the weight. I've added the additional guy lines to mine but it's pretty stable with just four, I...

Just got one myself, seems to be a winner. The adjustable vestibule is a great idea.

£55 any good to you? I'll even post it for that rather attractive price

Probably guilty conscience, you do know it's illegal to cycle on motorways don't you?
