Woah! Those tyres!! I got some really good plastic stuff in Manchester for flaps. Still going strong now. I'll try and remember where/what it was...
Did you replace lights yet? I seem to have acquired quite a collection and will be downsizing.

Just had a "Coronation Chickpea" butty from Spar. Not great.

Yeah, I wasn't convinced by this either. I assume Happy Cow still relies on users and/or owners to create and maintain their listings? I wonder how many users they have, and how they are distributed or travel, particularly those who go to the effort of adding new establishments rather than just leaving reviews. It felt like HappyCow entries were relatively sparse in NZ and Australia compared to what was actually available and compared with using it in the UK/parts of the US.
Admittedly I've never been arsed to sign up and do anything about it so I shouldn't really complain.

Back in the UK and thrown the 1x1 back together. Frame's honestly a bit small, but until I've lost ~10kg I'm not going to bother pissing around finding something else and dealing with all these new "standards". Lean, future me will then stick some moto bars and 26" dirt wizards on and just go thrash it around in the forest.
Dyno hub has seized up a bit after 3 years in the loft. Only powering 2 of the 4 LEDs. Gravelkings seem to steer a bit weird, but might be the long, high stem and/or knackered front wheel. Seems alright other than that.

Old inner tube, electrical tape, rubber spacers from other lights.

I see you've played knifey spooney before

Talking to a couple of finishers, they felt like a lot of people underestimated the terrain and resupply opportunities. Generally making a lot of stupid decisions when, in their opinion, these people should have known better (based on experience) or sucked it up (sponsor blah blah).
Sounds like the main bunch points (towns) became a somewhat toxic whinge-fest with people nudging each other to scratch to relieve the guilt of scratching themselves.
Nelson has something else up his sleeve, not sure if it's 2019 or 2020 but it sounds hard, high, long and gravelly.

£40 + postage?
