I've got a road tour coming up in September, tempted to get some byways
I got a pair as my schwalbe G-ones are nearly done. Seem OK in the lounge test although reviews suggest the usual WTB sealant leakage through the side walls. I liked the idea of them have a puncture proof layer as the g-ones puncture as soon as look at them, and don't always seal....
ime Byways are much longer lasting than G-Ones. Tread area is far tougher and thicker. I have Byways that are maybe 5 years old, regular use, G-One Speeds are down to the threads in 18 months with the same use. G-Ones roll a bit easier/smoother and maybe faster though. Supple factor innit, the Heine Effect

Just in Home Bargains and the only gas in the shelves like this is a Butane only gas with no propane in it.
So i'll leave it.

I went to Go Outdoors and bought 2 large Coleman cannisters for £7 each.

It a great shame when a distributor go bust Moore + Large, Derby.

Yes the may be short term gains as a bargain may be had,
but ultimately that means less choice at your LBS or dropping some brands in the uk. but bike shops loose credit or money owned and staff loose employment .

Great price for those tyres
ordered many times from bikeinn since brexit, no additional charges
Sliding dropouts and takes 2.8 tyre which I like but 65 head angle and 130 mm travel forks are probably not ideal (and heavy) for bikepacking.
Not the lightest at 15 kg
My opinion it would be ok but it's an" aggressive " hardtail rather than a comfort waggon.
Doubt you can get much better for the price so worth it if it's all you can afford.
Never ridden one
YMMV etc
Blimey they were £700 a while back (PAulB52 highlighted this) and I came very close to buying one as a trail ripper but the 65 degree headangle put me off...
Looks an OK bike otherwise for that price. Shades of the old Inbreds which were similarly cheap

On a 130mm fork a 65deg HTA is pretty good for a 'ripper', no? Not crazy slack but not XC geo. Chart shows 65 deg static too so it's not that slack really.
Looks like a great bike for £600, worth upgrades over time, more of a fun laps ripper than big loop cruiser though.
