42lb for me but that was with two empty bottles so I reckon 45lb is about right.

My ‘not the WRT’ is going pretty well so far. Plenty of gravel on an inappropriate bike, carrying too much stuff, dodgy route choices, on-the-fly changes of plan, funny tasting coffee and cold camp sites. I even visited some old mines.

I'm out. Car broken, plans gone to sub standard. Hopefully I can get my leadout man to pick up my t-shirt. :sad: I was actually looking forward to it too. Change of plans here as well; starting from Rhayader not Bristol today not yesterday. Different bike and route too. I think I’m going to precise...

Ditch the cross top levers and get the hope thing mounted as close to the underside of the stem as possible, maybe with some elbow/banjo fittings to get some clearance to the hoses.

Dyffers and I are going for breakfast there on Sunday...

Excellent article, thanks Greg.

I had a Burrows 'bent for a year or so. Lovely, crazy thing.

So who's starting where, and when? I'm heading off on Friday from Bristol-ish.

Lost Lanes (whichever area you like - South, West, Wales or North) by our very own Jack T.

Anyway, I've got one Ti frame, designed by Brant at Pact to my specification and made by Waltly in China. I got it because I wanted a very specific design of frame that wasn't available off the peg and didn't want a painted finish that would wear out. It's great, but is now 4 years old and I'm waiti...

I would suspect that the price of decent FEA software puts it out of the reach of those who would be designing small batches of Ti frames.

Pretty much the same as every other WRT I've done then.

The Dyfi road climb I assume is the road to Corris past the CAT.

Take the lane to the south east across the golf course through Forge. Keep going UP for about 5 miles.

Lovely, cheers Stuart. Often wondered about crossing the Rheidol down at Devil's Bridge - looks like I'll get the chance now.

Q about the GR just east of Goginan: are the 'other routes' that meet at that point all rideable and accessible from the other ends?

This all sounds pretty good so far. I'm really happy that you think that it's possible to run some kind of event.

Oooh, good choice. Best rock band ever.

No good for me then, need a layback. Thanks!

Interested in the Thomson post. Is it inline or layback?

Second potential solution sounds like a microshift 10 speed MTB ratio bar end shifter (if such a thing exists). - they do, they're not great ime though. It's because of where the indents/'index click' point is and where the shift happens compared to where the lever settles back to... vague at times...

I like the empty feeling in my head when I ride a bike.

I've done it while solo touring. It's great.

If they're the 40T engagement version then Hope do make a freehub body that allows you to fit 11 speed road cassettes to these hubs. Otherwise you're limited to 8/9/10 and 11 speed MTB cassettes.
