We've got a 650. I just use file explorer on a PC and drag and drop.
Does that work?

I'd been following his dot. Even though he's got previous with the TD, that is some achievement.

A big easy Cairngorms loop?

I've a pal who's wanting to do a big ride in the Cairngorms with friends, some of whom will be on gravel bikes.

I suggested the outer loop of the classic CG loop.

Any improvements on that?

I've done a good few miles fixed off-road over the years. That gearing, narrow tyres and no suspension.

WTD: Post mount road hydraulic brakes and shifters

New project requires some road hydraulic brakes and levers.

A pair of TRP Hylex would be lush.

Post mount.

Shimano or Sram otherwise.

For a singlespeed so shifters don't need to work!

Re: Going full retard - an Everesting journey!

My tips. Find a track that is technically easy to ride up. A decent consistent surface would be good. Don't underestimate the descents.

Good luck :-bd

Re: The post man's been ...

After many years of searching, I am now the proud owner of a Zpacks Hexamid Solo and bathtub floor. From the date on the label, it looks like it was one of the last made before the model was discontinued. A little less room than the Lunar Solo, but a similar vibe. Saves about 300 grams. https://i.im...
