I might try for the first time next week - is that 1842 (a very exact time) you leave HHV? (building or the entrance?)

Belated info on Gran Guanche - I'd base the gravel vs Trail decision more on time (600km vs 1000km and significantly more climbing). Even the MTB route is very doable on a monstercross setup with the toughest sections short enough to just hike a bike

Crossed 3 couples just taking the gpx and joyriding at the same time as the event - if I wasn't 'racing' to get my ferries and flight back home, I'd of wanted to stop in particular in Las Palmas (the city), NW Tenerife and western La Palma (the island), but did absolutely love the atmosphere and camaraderie in the ferries

Part of the appeal of the official event is logistics given it's a PITA getting bags from one island to another, but you might see if Vadebicis can sort it out Lanz->Tene South even outside of the event, else plenty of bike boxes to beg/buy from Tenerife South

I Barzo 2.35/Mezcal 2.25'ed Lesperit - reasonable success with them for the first half with 0 punctures (my event ending washouts probably more due to bad lines on ruts and poor technique on a sand corner), the lack of slick tread on the fast sections is barely gnawing when all the toughest (loose/steep/chunky) parts are really using all of the barzo's traction possible

I think I also made a conscious choice from changing from 2.4" Tan walls to the eventual grey endurance casing setup, as I'd rather some rolling and climbing inefficiency than maltimed backcountry punctures

If I was touring more champagne gravel however I might do Mezcal 2.1" front and rear so I can swap F/R as the rear wears out

Appreciated thanks - should be sorted in the short term by the above and Win at SE20 lent me a lock too (legend)

Though now on the lookout for a Hiplok D1000/Litelok X1 and a Hiplok Gold Chain for the permanent solution, if anyone has... this was the 4th D lock that I've had grinded in nearly as many years, mental

Hmm, I've not yet got much success out of the shoulder carry with a fully loaded bike - still not sure if my sub 60kg body puts it at enough of a disadvantage due to PWR, even initially getting it off the bike ground I've felt my knees disconcertingly pop

Probably looking for something more heavy duty, but could possibly handle secondary lock duty, what price posted did you have in mind?

I would kill for a hydration vest with some hike a bike straps/waist belt built in... would love it they could be proto'd with the sponsor team

Of the Abus Granit or Kryptonite NY kinda ilk, name your price

Had my bike almost swiped whilst at an event last week

Based in Se26

Bump - body reduced to £1000 for what should be the final drop, else likely to keep it for the year ahead
Sorry folks never got to you about the lenses, if still interested in singles drop me a PM

Bump, new deadline to sell before keeping is April as I ended up stuck in London
Might even throw in a Revelate Spinelock as per pics if it goes for full price..

yup, sorry took a while of rummaging to find these!

Hey, would say very good used condition - run maybe 2kg of beans through this myself - will clean out the burrs before sale

Spacers for espresso fine grinding included

Only marks I could see were on the front button panel where the plastic film hasn't been peeled off anyway

Bump - new model actually, previous this listing was for a 270 non-wi which sold, but this needs to go as well

Bringing this back from the dead as unexpectedly still in London after work falling through, so need the £s, send me offers!

Seen the body going slightly cheaper than I thought, so price drop and bump
If anyone wants to take a bundle off me for a discount, drop me an offer

Ordered earlier and missed the 'group buy' - but just to say mine has arrived so it seems legit. Do feel a bit different from the Silca ones though and yet to put them on the scales

Ah a second in line after the lens alone, makes sense - I'd rather bundle it with anything else as I don't want trouble getting rid of singles down the line, but you can poke me in a week or two if no movement?

Plan to go film/phone for a while to eventually buy in a few generations, and work has fallen through, so got my Fuji X-Pro 3 for sale - a recent warranty replacement so NIB apart from the 4 shutter actuations to check everything was fine, as new
Absolute beast on the bike for its weather reliability - before the replacement (for cable issues), the camera survived rain and multiple crashes
All lenses in excellent condition

Fuji X-Pro 3 Body w/ extra batteries - £1200 -> £1100 -> £1000
Fuji XF 35mm f2 R WR Lens - £225
Fuji XF 27mm f/2.8 R (WR model) - £360
Fuji XF 16-80mm f/4 R OIS WR Lens - £350
Samyang 12mm F2 f/2 Fuji X Mount Lens - £120

Currently in SE26

Wouldn't be track specific cranks, but Appleman (on insta) are known for doing a really wide range of cranks (down to 130mm or wildly assymetric) - but will cost a bit ££

Bump - work fell through a second time so a final (final) drop to £1000
Has been some interest so hopefully I've not been off the mark the whole time

eugh awfully tempted but someone would need to buy my trek first, need the space! free bump

I'm not sure carbon aero bars will save much weight, sometimes bizarrely they are heavier than alloy
I reckon there's an argument that the vukas are more aero, but I don't think it's worth it given it'll be harder to mount accessories on their weird shape

+1 to try both
People ask me why I don't just nab a free .gpx and do a route for free
There's a lot to be gained from the race vibes, in particular the community, and being able to push yourself into the unknown and out of your comfort zone, seeing where it takes you
Not to mention, a lot of the race routes wouldn't usually be toured, they're in gorgeous areas but out of the way with a lot of climbing/harsh resupply - sometimes that gives you into a lens places you would otherwise never see
