Does anyone know what the capacity of the original rapha backpack is? I think I saw 13L+7 somewhere.

Mine is now too small for most days so I need to find an alternative

That looks quite good. I have been looking for a decent size bag that you can put a helmet on the outside of for a while

Does it have adaptive cruise control?

If so, using the steering wheel controls you turn on cruise control then press mode to change from cruise to speed limiter

I ended up going for the Knog, mainly because finding either the Spur cycle or Crane ones was quite hard locally, and then they reduced the knog by $20 on Monday too

There is quite a big following for this era Patrol, they are very capable offroad

I'm not in any rush (as i've only just put the post 2017 trigger shift on) so if there's something more "official" on the way i'll happily wait.

On that topic though, and this is the real question - which is the best bell for the 2017> trigger setup? Thinking of going mad and getting the Knog Oi Luxe

I'd really like to convert my S2L to 3 speed but i don't know if i can bring myself to run a friction shifter.

Some chat on Reddit suggests people are using a 3x front mtb shifter but i can't believe the pull ratio is the same

Yeah plus they were $27 so can’t go wrong!

I’ve ordered the 580mm flat bar that @sbbohr recommended from litepro, I’d have liked JK’s at 600mm but I couldn’t get any “real” ones sent to NZ

The Toyota Altezza (lexus IS200) is the weapon of choice for youths in NZ. The place is littered with slammed and loud ones piloted by hoody clad snap back wearers

At least the boiling point is lower than DOT in that case.

I've done it before by putting them in the oven, but in hindsight that's probably not the smartest idea if you intend to eat food from the same oven

Is it mineral oil or DOT fluid?

Oh yeah I sort of assumed the graphic before “ones” was a G like the road tyre 😂

I'm really liking my G-ones so far, i think the main benefits for me are they are much faster rolling than the brompton own brand tyres i had before and the casing is much more supple which is really helping with stability on the 2.5km of quite steep descent on my commute.

Is there much difference between Kojaks and G-Ones?

Quick pic from our 6:30am walk.

It’s a skingrowsback saddlebag with just a tube and Allen keys etc

I have to say the slicks have made a huge difference to the stability of the bike on the big descent into work.

I may also drop from 100psi to say 80psi long term

First batch of upgrades done.

I also got a 2017 onwards 2sp thumb shifter that I’m going to convert to but I’m looking at re-designing the internals to try and make it 3sp

I’ll look for some bars, are they 25.4mm? Or 22.2?

Can’t really get a bag, not sure how common they are in NZ

Standard S2L bars and no bar bag.

I have a carrier block but no bag

The best way is p type with a flat bar.

P type is the lowest stem and keeps the longer reach like an s type

Cool thanks, I was looking at that earlier thinking the P type had the reach but was a fair whack shorter.

I have a particularly steep descent for 2.5km on my commute and the brompton is rather twitchy once you're descending over 40kmh i find

Didn't know that Audi officially built a group S car. By officially the rally team built the car with permission or knowledge. Though the Audi was a group B development, to make the quattro mid engined to beat the other mid engined 205 and S4. When Audi/vw people learnt about the quatro the project was ended.

There are a couple of pictures of what looks like an S1 Quattro in existence but it's a mid engined test car pre-group S. The guy at the Audi museum suggests that it no longer exists

I just can't warm to Ken Block.

Agree, i can't get on with him either.
