Huge Brynje fan here. I have both the short and long sleeve super thermo varieties. I sometimes wear two baselayers with the Brynje underneath, particularly if I know it's going to be wet I think I'd combust / dry out to the shrivelled-scrotum level Stu mentioned elsewhere with 2 baselayers :shock:...

I had grand plans to do this. I bought a rigid fork for my Cotic and planned to swap the sus fork in and out as wanted. It was fairly easy to swap, but it's still a faff. In the end I kept it as fully rigid and have a full suss to complement it

Nice one Rich. Can bag the slot in the diary before all the family stuff goes in!

Enjoyed the write up. Green chalk is horrendous stuff

I remember that pub from a Chilterns event. We were comfortably the smelliest and dirtiest folks in there, food was very good on quality but a bit lacking on quantity

Cracking write up

You could try some clear gorilla tape?

Sorry Stu, was all set to do it and then went into a meeting!

Shout if you need any more

Yep, anything in particular?

Sounds like father Xmas having a day off

two chains for my cargo bike. It's a Big Dummy so needs two as it's so long. Hoping they're the right ones!

I literally do exactly as per fatbikephil - clean area, key it to help with adhesion, normal rubber glue for inner tube patches, mushroom plugs with the metal spike on the end Has held up very well I did try that but it started to push out and I didn't want to risk the split becoming bigger. When y...

** I would use my 3/4 Thermarest Uberlight but is has a slow puncture and despite submerging it in the bath repeatably until my hands went numb (too tight to use hot water) I cannot find the hole to be able to patch it :roll: If it helps, Thermarest will probably find it for you. They say they char...

I had a Jetboil and now have the Primus version. I actually reckon it might be ok for this trip It only boils water, but it sounds like that’s all you want. It is heavier than a meths or lightweight gas stove set up but it’s also far more windproof and if you’re stuck in a tent porch in windy condit...

Sun is shining and it's blooming hot. Van is mostly packed (including a fridge full of drinks and food) and ready for some camping with my son at Thruxton to watch some racing

Wow, is that really the combo? Horse racing and Faithless. Banging out Insomnia after a day at the races...?!

To be honest, if it was closer to home I might have taken you up on it!

Abus combination cafe lock here, best balance of weight and protection

I have 4 retractable cable locks, as well as various other locks (spiral, long cable, D locks etc), but the abus is my favourite

Fits inside my tool bottle with my tools in so another bonus

Same. Everything my area (QECP/Kingley Vale) is running absolutely lovely at the moment but the nettles have gone nuts, arm and leg still stinging from last night's ride. Brambles not exactly great either

https://singularcycles.com/products/gryphon-steel?variant=42285088375033 Singular Gryphon V3? Not many drop bar 29ers with that sort of pedigree. A friend of mine who's opinion I'd give plenty of weight to has the V2 and rates it highly. Looks sorted, similar reach and only a bit less stack, as lon...

What happens if you try to ride down it? Presumably at the right speed it would be like like cycling on a treadmill? Even better if gravity would keep you at the right speed

It’s a very common thing for winter use. Known as a magic carpet

Horrendous things!

Reg will be along in a minute to expel the virtues of sandals, with sealskinz when wet
