Put the credit card down and back away from the computer.
You've done enough spending for this month -
It's a 1/8" chainring with a road chain

I think I have a green one if that's any use

A bit of old inner tube and a load of self amalgamating tape and it hasn't slipped in 3 rides so I'm calling it done for now

Ah nice one. The detour is actually quite fun and probably better than just cruising along a flat gravel path

^ Yeah I'd just get a longer fork or extended steerer and run it ahead with a Canyon stem or something

The route itself goes straight through the locked gate pictured above so needs to be diverted around (still offroad)
So probably easiest to just follow my activity. You can create a route from it in the three dot menu I think. The Wimbledon bit at the beginning is a bit sloppy. The rest is dry or gravel

Thanks. It’s difficult to say really. First time on 650bs and the wheels are fairly chunky and have inner tubes. First time with hydro Sram and the levers and huge in the hand which isn’t great for braking off road if the surface is rough. The cranks are 175mm which is fine on my MTB but my road going bikes are 170 and I do sometimes feel like I’m kneeing myself in the chest when I’m trying to duck into a headwind on tarmac.
Overall I’m pleased with it but I think there’ll be some fettling for quite some time until it’s spot on for me.
