Just been let down by a mate who thinks a Stag weekend in a casino is better than roughing it in mid - Wales on a bike!

See you then!

Chew,
I bought mine from:-
www.trekking-lite.com in Germany. They spoke English, took Paypal and delivered within a week. Would recommend both them and the quilts!

Sorry Ton, gonna have to pass on this one as is too big for my frame too!!
Good luck with the sale.
All the best.

Cheers Ben, should have thought about that one myself.
Will offer a tape measure upto the frame int' morning and see what's occuring then!

Am interested, need to know what the top tube length of it is.
Cheers.

Will have some up for grabs early next week, as I'm splitting down one of my bikes.
Will send you a PM when they are available.
Cheers.

Pete,
The bars arrived today.
Minty and chewy!!!
Cheers for that, and all the best!
Adam.

Does the Alfine 11 come with all the fitting kit and sprocket malarky?

May the best man win!

Just been looking on the link.
Are these the "chewy" versions? If so will take them!
How would you like paying?
Cheers,

Mike, Did the rings come off a Shimano crank? If they did then that's your problem and you are going to have to get your file out or shell out for sir Race Face chainringa! IME Shimano have started making the rings a little bigger so you can't put them on other cranks and also you can't put other ma...

I, too decided not to join the UK Hammocks quilt order (sorry FLV) and the nice Parcelforce guy brought me a Cumulus Quilt 150. Cheers for the review Stuart. Am looking forward to using it. Very light, excellent workmanship! Got to go away until fairer climes reach our shores, but summers coming som...

That sounds good Chew,
Give us a shout. I work in Leeds 6 and live in Leeds 8, can also meet wherever.
Let's sort something out after this weekends frolics.
Enjoy whatever you get up to!
Adam.

Sadly won't be attending, but will be doing my Jan. bivvy. Can send pictures if you wish or it is priced including delivery.
Have a think.

Vango Venom is still here!
The Alpkit fuel pod got sold.

Cheers for the help, boys. Managed to get both of them up first time this afternoon and rode home no probs!!! I see what everybody says about the track pump being needed as you need that constant flow of air to make the seal, then good feeling as it catches and starts to inflate. Bit of "fartin...

I swear by the Yaban 1/8" chain, Chinese utility chain, no frills but is as strong as you like. Should cost no more than a 10er and I have yet to break one! I believe that Yaban make chain for most of the big brands anyway. Other than that the KMC Rustbuster is pretty good. Nice and strong and ...

Going to give it a go tomorrow.
Will report back.
Thanks for the advice.

Cheers Ian,
Was going to buy the whole kit which includes the valves, rim tape, adhesive rim tape and sealant. So should get everything I need.
Thanks for the offer, though.

Been thinking about going tubeless for a while, and one puncture too many has finally done it. My question to all you tubeless boys and girls is-. Can I feasibly get my tubeless ready tyres (Schwalbe Racing Ralphs) to go up tubeless on non tubeless specific rims (Mavic XM 319) Of course I will be us...

You can never go wrong with an Alpkit bicycle 3.5
Light, compact and £35.00 posted!
Enjoy.

:wink: Happy New Year all. Thought i'd have a bit of a sort out. All items are priced to go as I need the space. *Revelate Viscacha Seat Pack. In very good, but dirty after the Winter Bivvy, condition. All straps and buckles work fine! Looking for £65.00 posted. ####SOLD#### *Alpkit Fuel Pod. Size S...

I'm 5' 10" and going to go for the medium, chest zip.
Reckon it should be OK for me, a quilt and an Exped down mat!
Just counting the days while end of Feb/ early March. The 25% sale and the faster turnaround make it a little more bearable!

On-one have a clothing clearance on at the minute.
A bit of trawling the many section can come up trumps!
Good luck.

It most certainly will Ben, that's what I've been running for years as the Shimano free wheels only come in 3/32".
As long as you get the chainline and tension correct there should not be a problem.
Happy New Year!
