WTD : 29er Suspension forks for old style Scandal. 100mm qr

I have been riding this rigid for overnights for a while, but thinking of going suspension.

If anyone has anything suitable, please let me know.

Also any recommendations on set up/ travel would be appreciated.

Re: CO2 impact of bikepacking travel or an event

A coupe of links that may help... Whilst European train travel with a bike is tricky, mainly getting out of the UK with it, I always find that the Man in Seat 61 provides guidance and inspiration : https://www.seat61.com/ and after you have negotiated the Eurostar melee at St Pancras those German IC...

Interesting to see this raised, has definitely been the elephant in the room. I will never ride them, but I am increasingly uncomfortable with events like the Great Divide and Silk Road with some riders flying a long long way to participate.

Re: Ideas for a SE England to Snowdonia route?

Stu's Offa's Byke route would get you from Chepstow (after the Cotswolds) to Prestatyn, I imagine generally head off west well before you hit the Welsh coast - maybe around Oswestry.

4 days from the S.E. seems tight, but happy to be proven wrong!

Re: Mike Burrows Rip

Sad news,

but his work wasn't all cutting edge and new designs,

a bit more mundane he shortened a pair of cranks for my mate, down to something like 155 mm, so he could still cycle with much reduced movement after a total knee joint replacement.

Great news on The Top House, Trefil. !

When it closed a few years back it seemed another remote pub would be gone forever. Must get back there and find the Chartist Cave soon.

Re: Etrex Stem Mount

Been following this as I don't have much space on my bars I seem to have found a simple, free solution, so far good for a few hundred off road miles I used a countersink drill bit on the square hole that would retain the rubber seat, so that the star fangled screw sits down nice and flush.

Re: USB-powered AA battery charger

Think you can run the Garmin directly from a USB cable from a Powerbank

Need to select Garmin mode instead of USB / Storage

Maybe just Etrex30

I will await either confirmation from the forum, or to be corrected.

Early E Bike

Saw this on the local Gumtree

Probably solid testimony to many happy hours in the shed !

Not sure of the handling - but think the SA on the front wheel is an interesting take
