I managed to mangle my pad axle screw as its a flat head screw and I'm incompetent.
Anyone know of a replacement part not made of cheese? For 105 BR-R7070.
These look better but don't think they're compatible.

depends if you snore.
@Netakure doesn't snore so he should be fine :)

Signed up for 2020...already regretting it.
Managed to book a bunkhouse 30 mins drive from event start for the Friday and Saturday. It's £20 per night beside a pub / chinese takeaway. Basic but probably beats freezing in a tent (I'm a bit soft).
If anyone needs a place drop me a message.

How was it? From the instagram updates I was getting it looked just about as miserable as last year and was very glad to have skipped it this time.

Yeah it's good fun up to the turbines, as before don't blame me for the return leg it was haphazardly plotted. Keen to ride it though if you want to check it out sometime? You should come to Sandbar on Wed for the weekly ride, sometimes it will involve gravel for which noone has the correct bike for.

It's a variation of the GB divide route. You could keep going and see where you end up. I did it up to Malham slightly deviating from the route to get onto the road. Was amazing for the most part until the cows refused to move from the path. Bovine cunts.

I've done that one - good little loop.

I've done most of this one up to the wind turbines on Scout Moor - never done the return though so might be some exciting downhills to be had - or it's very boring.
If you find any more please post up routes :)

edit - oops meant to send as pm,

Read the whole thread. Changed mind about 100 times about whether I needed a gravel bike or not and what flavour. Ended up with an Arkose. Did not disappoint.
@Netakure hooked me up with a sweet discount that was too good to pass up on.
Enjoying the wide tyres and sparkly paint. Looking forward to continuing to spend money I don't have upgrading the stock finishing kit. Those pedals being the first thing to go...It never ends.

also interested in any of these routes, been trawling rwgps and strava.
Was planning to attempt this next weekend if anyone is interested in joining. Train back from Hebden for me with several cans.
Cheers both. Will defo be greasing it up when I replace it - if / when I get it out.
Will pick up the swisstop pads (£18 for a set of pads....)

Think it's the D34 RS I need for my calipers. Looks like it's a hex key bolt so I'm abit less likely to make a mess of it.
