Re: The post man's been ...
I have both XTs and XTRs (and SLXs actually).
You really can tell the difference in quality XT to XTR. Can't comment on braking performance yet though.

I ended up winning some swag from Singletracks 7th day of christmas. Walked away with a T shirt, a K-edge Garmin mount (don't own a Garmin though), energy bars/gels and a few stickers :)

29er Crud Guards. Been using 26" ones but the rear is just too short. Would be nice to not be using any at all. Still, the evenings are getting lighter, summer is on it's way... :D

Re: The post man's been ...
I'd be interested to know how well they work. I tried my 26er one on my 29er and it was a waste of time.Dan_K wrote:29er Crud Guards. Been using 26" ones but the rear is just too short. Would be nice to not be using any at all. Still, the evenings are getting lighter, summer is on it's way... :D

Good Man. Now if you make your whole fleet run on shimano's - you can bulk buy your pads and that's cheaper #ManMathsIan wrote:I feel weak, and poor

Re: The post man's been ...
Went out for nearly 20 miles tonight on damp roads and they seem to work. Front isn't amazing (down tube guards never are) but the rear is a real improvement.composite wrote:I'd be interested to know how well they work.

My 26" guards were 6 years old. The new front guard is longer and wider and the rear 29er guard is a good 6" longer so it makes all the difference. I'll give it a proper go off road in the next few days and give you a proper verdict...

Re: The post man's been ...
I have never used a good down tube mud guard. The Mucky nuts or the neo guard/old inner tube for the front for me.

Re: The post man's been ...
My second Titus Fireline frame.
First one was baggy in the seattube (by about 2mm apparently) and On One exchanged without question. Fingers crossed for this one though not had a good look at it yet.

Re: The post man's been ...
Got home just in time to catch the UPS guy.
Cue not being able to find the plug to wire it up to the dynamo.
Guess what the postman will now be bringing on Monday?

Re: The post man's been ...
These Revo's are getting popular
Postie brought a new camera for me for bikepacking duties. Bit of an impulse buy off eBay, but the half price of a new one and in great nick. Sony WX300.
That's most of the tax rebate blown now

As boring as it maybe I'm loving mine for commuting duties. Had a couple of cars flash me though. :?Ian wrote:These Revo's are getting popular
On the other hand I'm convinced some cars think I'm a motorbike and give me more space than they would if they knew I was just a push bike.

Re: The post man's been ...
I'm looking for a new compact camera. Stopped carrying my DSLR everywhere now and my current compact is woeful. Would be interested how you get on with it. I have been looking at one for a little while now in a similar price range (can't for the life of me remember what it is right now, I have the links at work...)Ian wrote: Postie brought a new camera for me for bikepacking duties.

Re: The post man's been ...
This replaces my Lumix LX3, which is a lovely camera but a touch big for riding. My hope is the Sony will give me comparable picture quality, but in a smaller size. It also has panoramic features and longer zoom too, which the LX3 doesn't have
Re: The post man's been ...
I've got the Canon S100 (the older version of the one in the link below).
It's a great camera. I paid well over £200 for mine.
