Use a tick fork
They are cheap.
The main thing is to avoid stressing the tick-causing it to disgorge any potentially infected blood into you.
So
Dont smush the the tick or spray it with anything or smother it with anything.
Or expose it to flame.

It is also possible that your jockey wheel
Bushes/bearings are worn out.
This process can be accelerated by having a bent/slightly misaligned derailleur cage and or hanger.
Beware of derailleur-spoke interference in the lowest gear after any cage/hanger tweaking however tentative!

I have recently had a wheel built up for me using a sram x7 hub.
Its going to be used as a winter wheel with more a mud friendly tyre.
Using an sp hub on the front.
We will see how it holds up.......
Longest lasting wheels I've ever had are mavic crossrides.
Bought in 2006.
Still going strong ! !

Nice bike
Bit out of my price range.
I too have no telly but have installed itv hub on my tablet to watch the tour.
I am far from being a roadie but am really enjoying the coverage.

I am looking for some Fairweather Nitto B903 Bullmoose Handlebars.
Thought I'd ask you lot.
You never know........

Looking forward to this.
I'll be the slow old gimmer with the blue Rooster and yellow stealth tarp.

IMO.

That was me at the back last year!
My fitness has taken a dive over the last
24 months.
Keep pedalling and eating.

Theres lots of riding in Brittany. Its not particularly hilly. Massive network of "c" roads that are very quiet. Voies vertes routes also. Some of which have no traffic at all. There is the nantes to brest canal as well which has a tow path of course. I have only done a bit of off road rid...

Yay!
Once again I have successfully fallen out of the suppurating arse end of another winter.
Longer rides home in the daylight.
Wakened by dawn chorus.
Blue skies
Druids for goalposts.
Enduring image, isn't it?

I will take the large please if no one else has beaten me to it?
Pm me PayPal details.
Cheers.

Do they still make a 105 triple?
If so get that.

Thompson to finish.
Saddle and pedals of your choice.

I think a 29er/650b+ mtb is probably more of a versatile choice. Especially at the £600 price point. Rigid forks are best for bikepacking-especially so if the bike is going to be your every day bike.

I run a 36/46 on the cx bike with a 11-28 on the back. Kmc chain 10 speed.

I run a 32 oval on the 29+ with a 11-42 on the back. Kmc chain 11 speed.

I want to convert the cx bike to 28/38 and the mtb to 26/34 keeping their respective rear end set ups.

What bb does the surly od chainset use?
I also would like to upgrade my 1 x 11 to
2 x 11.
Is the surly od c/set not configured for 2x10 or will this still work with an 11 speed chain?
Wow. Sorry about all the questions.

I've only met you the once but
1. Bearded Bikepacker. Definitely hipsteresque.
2. I suspect it's only a thin veneer of grumpiness covering a mantle of warm and gentle fluffiness.
3. I don't know. Do you cry at the end of movies? Nibble the topping off twixes?
Stop, pick and sniff flowers?

Deda bar tape.
Soft, cheap, grippy..

Yup
Premature Encapsulation.
I think you may have coined something there.
Float like a butterfly, sting like P.E.

I like the look of maxxis minion dhf 29x2.3
Large and knobbly but expensive.
I have a singular rooster and I'm thinking of hanging up the chronicle clad wheels and using a schwalbe nobby nic 29x2.6 on the front and maybe a maxxis ardent 2.4 on the back.

Any bike you can comfortably ride for a few hours that doesnt break.
Being able to lift it over locked gates is also good.

Oh yeah polaris events.
I've done a few of those.
They were fun.
Apart from the tent carrying part.
Was that bikepacking then?
Who knew?

Alpkit gamma Not the most lightweight but well balanced with a separate rear mounted battery compartment that also houses a small led red light that has on/off/flashing modes. The front has four leds. The main one which is pretty bright. Bright enough for a back up emergency light. Three modes full/...
