great bike by the way :)

Just measured my Cumulus 150, it's 154cm wide at the shoulder end. I suspect Cumulus specify the "width" whereas Alpkit and Enlightened specify the "girth". As I mentioned in the bivy thread, girth is double the width. Thanks for doing this, was hoping it was that ... looks like...

Just been looking at cumulus quilts and noticed they are only 77cm wide at the top ? ... doesnt seem a lot for a wider person to get some good wrap under , or am i mistaken ? comparing sizes to the likes of alpkit quilt that is 130 cm across the top , Enlightened quilts are 137 cm wide anyone able t...

While my mate lay shivering all night on saturday I had a great sleep and only w...

Ive spoken to jameso and scott from pinnacle about the seat clamp , seatpost slipping issue before and Ive received a email from Scott saying id get some vouchers etc for what ive spent plus a little bit extra but havent heard anything since ! Im using a new clamp and a new 31.6 seatpost and seems s...

Sorry for the hijack ! .. I rode the first part of this on monday from knighton , and managed to knock one of my gorilla cages off somewhere in the first 16 miles !! Think it may be near one of the numerous gates you keep having to open !!, had to keep lying the bike down to open and shut the gates ...

I think it's because it's shipped with a 27.2mm seatpost & a shim to make it fit the frame which is 31.8mm. Not sure quite why they've done that so I'll probably swap the seatpost for a wider one & see if that remedies the problem. Same issue as well as a few others i know, ive even tried a...

Nothing else to say really, great event , crackin food and the cheese cake was amazing :) thanks to Stu and Dee for getting us all together Glad i opted for a tent rather than a tarp due to the midge issue ... and my only unhappy moment all weekend was all the punctures i had there and back !! ... s...

Bars £25 shifters ( wiggle) £53 cables £10 bar tape £10 Fit...
