yes they are a little pricey. anything else?

that was bloody quick! thanks!

who makes a nice gum wall largish tyre similar to the knards?

god knows how i missed this thread. bloody excellent engineering @Hulsroy! very impressive.

thats a cracker!

@HoKe they look great!

What a selfish prick!

Good luck man. I'll be following you (obvs on the tracker, not on a bike).

funnily enough i've almost the exact same thing happen. was really tired after a long off road ride, ate loads of food, went to sleep then woke up 2 hours later sweating my tits off. not a nice way to wake when you're in a sleeping bag and everything sticks to you.

on the cold and sweaty thing. as 7Up says could be your bivvy? also if that whole dry bag is your sleeping bag then i'm guessing it's synthetic. you could try a down sleeping bag, they've got a much larger comfortable temperature range.

It's for the shiftz.

Nice, thanks for that!

GREAT! When can I collect?

You want 300 for that beauty? Too cheap!

Nice! Are you going to do the transcontinental race on it?

I know, that's what i thought
"and I needed a new bottom bracket already because I spend a lot of time out of the saddle turning those big gears."
WTF?
seems to be putting in some pretty big miles though.

now that is ugly!

anyone else doing the Thorpe sprint this sunday?

If you can find one, either the 98 explosif or Kilauea (853 & 631 respectively) are great for the retro option. I put a magura on the back of mine and modern forks with disc. 9speed xt shifts as well as anything and is very cheap on the bay.

I love it! I'm very jealous of your upcoming ride. Good luck!!

ok, good to know. thanks!
I'm now looking at this.

there's a BSA option for it too.

what do people think of the On One lurcher or similar Chinese carbon hardtail? are they worth the small amount of money they cost? Is it a good way of getting a nice very light 29er?

Thanks! although I think I'll get the On-One Midge bar for my straggler instead.
can anyone recommend the Midge?
I did a load of the Southdowns way the other day and found normal drops tiring and without enough control on long descents so was thinking that the Midge could sort that out. am I right?

Anyone know what bars those are?

I love it!

I completely agree with DJ. get the remote. nothing more scary than controlling with one hand at speed!
