I lost two friends/family members to Cancer this year, one just 10 days ago, wanting to do something to raise money for Caner research, thinking Devon Coast to Coast, great way to motivate me and get some money for a fine cause, no other plans yet.

Hopefully my wife.....well in hers, more fun.

Actually hoping for some ND grad filters/holder for my camera.

Thanks for the offer, I am after a Shimano compatible shifter as I have the mech already

WTD, a shot in the dark but I am after a 11 speed mtn or road bar end shifter for drop bar, pair idea, single rear works too, trying to build a winter computer project/turbo bike.

While I may not be doing the BAM this year I have finally managed to get out, it has been nearly six months since my list trip out and it was desperately needed, I have decided to start blogging my rides and trip once again, something I used to do quite a bit but being off the bike for a number of y...

Behind for me, keeps the weight inside the axle, also the bags are slightly less exposed.

regular or dyno front? I have a pair of Sonder hubs 135mm rear dyno front I am never going to do anything with

A question I was about to ask myself, I know what's going on my Christmas list now

I currently use a 35mm (53mm) f2 on my Fuji XT10, I find this a little bulky and I will be swapping to a wider 18mm (27mm) f2 pancake lens, I would not use either of my zooms/XT3 as they are a bit too bulky, I have considered just selling my XT10 and picking up a used Fuji F100 something as they are...

I suppose anything can be a sport, depends on attitude really.

I thought it was bonkers too initially, but on a very fouled up hub it works pretty well (as advised by my predecessor)

Oil change 101, full 25ml of flush in, cycle through all the gears for a few mins with longer periods spent in the direct drive gears, drain it out thoroughly, put just 15ml back into the hub, the full 25ml is only used if you have bought a non OEM hub off the shelf as they are supplied with no oil ...

I will probably err on the side of caution, I cycle daily so fresh air by the bucket load.

I have been struggling with sinus infections and dental pain this past week and I am supposed to be heading out for an over nighter on Friday with a couple of friends.....oddly I bivvy more in winter than summer, go figure! Well I am considering playing safe and not going or cycling out with them an...

Malt loaf - Yes
Malt Whiskey - Yes
Malted Milk biscuits - Yes

MY wife has been rough as heck, some how I am remaining healthy, really trying to stay that way

I am having a clear out of the man cave, I was going to build the bike back up but I just don't have space, photos will be available when I can get home in daylight. Sonder Santiago frame and fork blue/white colour in small Reynolds 653 frameset, this is the older QR version / IS disc mount version,...

That sound tough Loki with close people being so unwell, but best wishes for the reboot, sounds like a good plan! You blog link says not found btw. My woes continue to with illness putting me in a funk and eating badly. Uncertainty over us relocating to mainland Scotland and lack of motivation for ...

Going to try again, it has been a difficult six months, could have gone a lot worse and will as I am soon to loose two people thanks to cancer. I am trying to pull myself out of the funk I am currently in, I have started food blogging and I am only allowed take out once a month as a treat and only i...

Alternatively and just as expensive, remove and sell the caliper and fit Hope?

Hi all, sorry there has no post for a while, I have not been in a great place mentally, or physically for that matter, just had a week off work so once I am back into the swing of it I will post up again.

Sweet, count me in!

SJS cycles are good place for stock

Get one fast, Son are putting all trade prices up in September, expect price rises to retail, I use the Edelux 2, lovely light and great for road and light off road.

I spent four years over in Germany as a teen, some of the best riding ever, riding the old Panzerweg tracks was good run, can be a bit sketchy at times, lots of woodland all over to camp in and the people are pretty cool, Bikpacking.com have a few routes that might help too https://bikepacking.com/l...
