I’ve got a Rab Storm bivi which is pretty spacious so I want to add a tie out to the outside to lift it off my face. I want to attach to the waterproof outer, anyone got any suggestions on a type of tie out and a glue to attach it with?

From looking at images I don’t think they’re interchangeable, thanks for the shout though.

Thanks both, I'll await a shout Adam.

Cheers,

Just on the off chance someone has an old BB7 sitting around, I’ve lost the red exterior (hand twist) adjuster. If anyone has one spare I’m happy to shoot you some money or donate to a charity of your choosing.

Now if that isn’t the opening like to a 21st century remake of Civilisation with Kenneth Clark then I don’t know what is.

A major change which I hope is just to add an extra barrier to entry rather than something they'll actually try to enforce is the LDNPA have changed their Wild Camping Page so that it now states it's not permitted anywhere within the park without prior permission whereas it used to say it was tradit...

I’ll take the other one please. PM incoming

After 8 years of head abuse and sending it through the rear spokes twice, the 11 speed 105 rear derailleur on my Rose cross/gravel bike is looking damaged beyond repair. I can't complain as it's taken a real beating and had run on a 40 tooth cassette with a road link for the past two years pretty fa...

So did a DIY dishing check and turns out there’s virtually no difference in the dish (less than half the depth of a 1p coin). Could it be that the dropouts aren’t central compared to the stays? It’s still only rubbing occasionally when out of the saddle. Perhaps it didn’t used to rub on both sides a...

As my newly invented verb title says really? I’ve had my signal about 8 months now and I’ve noted that it’s started rubbing the seat stay on the drive side, I don’t think it used to do this, it would occasionally rub on both sides when out of the saddle on uneven terrain but very rarely. It’s still ...

If it hasn’t gone I’d be keen to take it.

Thanks all, the SGS looks good to me, I'll try getting one or wait till they're back in stock. Do you really need a compressor? I probably don't need a compressor, and I have an Airshot which is great for being so portable. However, I tend to help friends out replacing tyres and setting them up tube...

Having set up 2 sets of tubeless wheels this week, I’d like to get a compressor. Any advice on what I should be looking for? I’ll probably just be using it to set bikes up tubeless, top up bike and car tyres. I’d like to spend as little as possible but still get a reliable piece of kit. What volume ...

Some cracking bargains in the sale from Mark Webber’s clothing company.

I was just looking at the Flint shorts the other day as I spied the review on the blog. Ordered a pair, thanks!

I might be tempted Dave, what sort of price do you have in mind?

who is building the frame? as James alludes to, bosses near the head tube are potentially a focus of stress- for a few reasons. ti can be finicky that way, so Id want to know the builder is capable of assessing the outcome. I have a few ti frames and respect the builder enormously., he was not keen...

Just a couple of points; Presumably you'll need custom made bags for the frame mounted ones as there is no standard for dimensions (or is there)? Yeah I'll have to go custom, I'm hoping to have a crack at making my own frame bags soon. Do those seatstay bags not get in the way when pedalling? I hav...

Brill, thanks gents

I'm currently designing a custom titanium frame and I'm nearly there with the geometry so I'm starting to think about where to include bottle/bag mounts and would appreciate the hive mind's thoughts. Are there any I should think about scrapping or add any more? Not sure if putting too many in has an...

Workshop parts galore:

New stool so I don't break my back on those fiddly bench top jobs
Bench mounted bike clamp
Parts to make a bearing press including threaded bar and assorted drifts
Blind bearing puller
New bearings to replace knackered ones in my rear hub
Set of T handle hex wrenches

How much for the milkshake? Unopened or light usage?

Cheers PB, I made a similar post on the owners group and Neil responded and said to email him direct and he’d sort me out with an updated freehub body so it should be sorted now. Looks like social media works faster than customer services at the moment. Another delightful quirk of the bike industry ...

Hi all, after ordering the bearings earlier, I rechecked the freehub body and it’s cracked next to one of the pawls. Its a 12 speed HG freehub body, does anyone know how you find a suitable replacement? Are all freehubs interchangeable or are they hub specific? I’ve emailed Alpkit but they seem swam...

Thanks all, purchased!

As the title says, as there any brands or retailers you’d particularly recommend?

Cheers,

Andy
