I've stopped using my Lumicycle lights now that I have an Exxposure. I have the following: * Two large 'Endurance' Li ion batteries, both twin cable * 2 stage charger * HID front light * LED (mk1 or 2) front light * 2 x DIY'd LED lights, made by installing Cree triple LEDs, heat sinks and drivers in...

I'm just jealous, having fitted one myself this week and once again trapped skin and struggled to get it straight.

FOX 34 Rhythm forks, 29/27.5+, boost 15mmx110mm axle. GRIP damper. Will take 3" tyres on 27.5" wheel. 130mm travel. 195mm steerer. 1900g in weight. 51mm offset Good bits: Serviced with inspection and new seals etc in June (Cyclewise). Stanchions are very clean and unmarked. De-stickered so...

NB. If the Fox Rythm might save me a few pennies and have less chewy stuff going on (and similar weight) I might wait for them :-bd :lol: chewy... I'll take them off and weigh them, but would think they'll be 150gms more. They have less sticker damage (as I removed them all due to colour clash) and...

### SOLD ### These are a few years old, but have been a 'second set' of forks for a while, as I also have some Fox 130mm. RL model, Solo Air, Motion Control, 110x15mm Maxle lite. Tapered steerer 197mm long. Good bits - 1750g with remote lockout, very clean stanchions, only a few rides since upper le...

I have an old pair of WTB Nanos, badged as 27.5 x 2", but they come up narrow. They've plenty of tread, but look a bit tatty due to lots of tubeless sealant. £10 posted? https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53285967144_bba6be07c9.jpg 20231025_203750 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5328584565...

Another Brand X + Top Peak thingy user here. Advantage of Brand X is that swapping to a standard post is dead easy - release the cable and go. Hydraulic posts are a bit more involved. the Brand X get rebranded as all sorts - I have a Bontrager branded version from years ago.

I've some SIDs going spare - SID RL, 120mm travel, 51mm offset, solo air, Motion Control, bar mounted lock out, 110x15mm maxle. Black and 1740g on my scales with remote and cable. Stickers are a bit tatty and the thread has gone on the hose clamp (could be re-tapped or use a self tapper, or a cable ...

I took Rebank jnr (or one of them) for Bikeability last year. I think Mrs R has taken to writing too. I'm reading The Flow by Amy-Jane Beer https://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/flow-9781472977397/ Easy to read, dip in and out of, and of interest to anyone who stops on bridges to watch rivers/becks/burns.

Did you win?

Wife, who's a Deputy Head, had to delay for 2 days as Ofsted decided the best day for them to turn up was the day we left Holiday in term time? :o Looks great. Enjoy. Very happy with my recent Rega Planar 3 50th Anniversary I've got a Rega Planar sat in a cupboard upstairs - redundant since 2016......

To chip in to the 'legality bit', there is, I believe, a bylaw specifically banning cycling on footpaths within open access land in the Peak District. I seem to remember it being a response, years ago, to cyclists using Fps along the gritstone edges, which was damaging SSSIs and the like. This is fr...

....a new pair of wheels - DT swiss 1900 (370 hubs and 500g, 30mm wide rims). Arrived already taped with tubeless valves, and only £200.

Not light or especially bling, but going on Solaris trail bumbler - I'll go with strong and cheap (and reliable hopefully)

Test ride tomorrow

Weather's looking a little worse this weekend

Last check-in was 2019 - have they brewed it again? Yeah - I'd spotted it on their FB page recently. Wasn't aware that they'd brewed it before. Just back from the cinema at Rheged, having seen the 'Reel Rock' climbing films. There was one about the climbing community in Palestine (West Bank). Reall...

Ooh, whatcha got? I'm just about to investigate the fridge too. See you over in the drinking thread

Kirkby Lonsdale brewery are now doing a beetroot stout - good excuse for a longer pedal on that commuter bike

Just seen these 170mm SLX chainset with a 30t chainring on CRC for 49.99. Bargain with the chainring included too. https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/p/shimano-slx-m7100-1x12-speed-chainset?color=black&chainringTeeth=30T&crankLengths=30T+170mm DT Swiss wheels too at better than half price.

"Fair janky" is the best description of the 'Ledmore plod' I've ever heard/seen

Ooh, is it like a highlights package, skipping the janky bits?

I wonder when they did it - looked rather damp.... Plus they were using the 2017 route by the looks - it does worry me how I can recognise every bit of that trail!

Next year Phil?

That a quote from Katy's River crossings commentary? She's entertaining for sure. I liked the bit at the start of the Drumbeg roller coaster road when she says "thank god, nearly there", and he gives her that 'oh dear' look
