I have just watched this film again, not sure how many times it is now but lots in the last 40 years or so!

Oh no! Now you've accidentally gone and deleted Christmas! I take back what I said about it, I'd love a lie in, a few drinks and cake, and some new socks!

Reinstated now Reg, just needed to think about it !

I have been thinking about this thread a lot, I had a very happy childhood and Christmas was to me always a magical time, as I have got older the magic has faded completely and been replaced with a sadness for those long passed times. Sorry its not a very cheery post, I am going to try and have a gr...

Thanks for the replies, here is another question, what are the main benefits of using a single speed specific hub over using a 10/11 speed hub with spacers? apart from needing fewer spacers?

Have these gone the way of the Dinosaur? I am looking to build a singlespeed specific rear wheel (I dont really have a problem with using a "normal 10/11 speed hub, ) and would like to find a 135mm QR singlespeed hub, any reccomendations? or are they now confined to history?? I am sure Chris Ki...

Sent, didnt ride this year but I remember last time (3/4 years ago?) the very kind lady serving the tea and soup etc was sleeping on a camp bed behind the counter when we left at 4 Am, she had a sign beside her saying if anyone wanted some food cooked to wake her! Hard to forget that level of kindne...

Very sad news, he always seemed to be a gentle happy person who was friends with the world.
His vids made me very envious of his travels.

What a great Lady, a true adventurer... I expect she thinks it is no big deal either!
Thanks for posting it.

Sorry to have wasted everyones time, I have just looked on Bikepacking Scotlands FB page and the photo has vanished! I assume good taste prevailed and it was removed!

This sort of thing but on lycra bibs and looking way worse from the back!

Well, I will try to describe it. It is on Bikepacking Scotland`s FB page. Imagine a young Gent who looks like he spends more time pumping iron than riding a bike, he has on lycra bib shorts .( think of the novelty aprons that look like the wearer has on ladies undies etc) these bib shorts look like ...

Are you referring to Dan Savage Sean?
One heck of trail runner.

In my defense, I didnt know what the question was!
I saw an answer and used it

Matte is certainly more classy but it is well known that a shiney finish has significant aero benefits, it could save you up to 10 seconds over 24 hrs! YVMV

Trenching?? I thought it was a new "adult" activity!!
