ETT on that bike is ~61cm. I have a long torso and short legs.

I used a Yepp on an old Rockhopper with an almost straight top tube. My knees grazed the back of the seat when I was pedalling, but it was bearable.

Yeah, and I figure there’s plenty of other gravel roads / tracks that can be legally ridden I don’t need to worry about trespassing or finding alternative hidden routes.

Thanks!

Yeah, I was looking at google maps after my ride today and I thought that you could take Old Cherryville Rd, then Church / Fire Station Rd through to Merchants Rd all the way through to the bottom of Blockers, but by the looks of things it’s private property for a section between Fire Station and Merchants, which is a shame.

Yeah, it’s a pretty casual. The WTB Nano 40’s were probably overkill, but whatever. It had some loose stuff, but nothing compared to Chambers or PWT.

And yeah, Norton’s > Colonial > Moores > Cherryville(s) > Montacute. Nice little loop.

I’ve been using them on a few bikes for years with no noticeable issues. I currently have one on my Paconi gravel bike and one on my Specialized dad bike and they have been fine.

I use spacers on both for aesthetic reasons.

Thanks. Was a perfect morning for it.

Yeah, there’s a few things out there. Can always give a shot. Want to try and do a Ringtail type of thing.

As you said, Rit Dyemore can dye synthetic fabric.

Couple more of my new favourite road. I’m hoping to ride it again soon. Unfortunately this morning I had to turn around at the bottom and loop back towards home up a very steep road (last picture above).

Dragged myself out of bed this morning and was welcomed with this. A loop of 30 or so k’s, bit of climbing and some nice gravel roads. If I didn’t have to go home to work, I would’ve liked to explore further.

I also wouldn’t mind upgrading the rear cassette to a 11-40, from the 11-36 on there. Not sure if my derailleur will cope though.

I’m after a white gilet with rear pockets. Preferably 3, like a normal jersey. Less logos (preferably none or very small) the better. I’d like white because I want to try and dye it.

Happy to buy a cheap AliExpress one.

Godspeed? You Black Emperor

Thanks.

There’s a couple of versions of that seat around, another brand is “Kids Ride Shotgun”. I haven’t taken it off road, but looking at the instagrams of both seat makers a lot of people put them on MTB’s and take them off road. Very simple design though, and my son loves it.

The bars are Sim Works Get Around bars.

Sorry, I missed this. I bought it directly from BTP. As far as I can tell the Serfas stuff is rebadged BTP. $5USD flat rate shipping worldwide, but it is coming from Taiwan. Not sure what the restrictions are like now.

Here it is in its latest form.

Wald 139 basket, swapped the saddle out for an old Flite and changed the grips. I want to get some Esi grips for it soon. The kids seat is a Dolittle NZ seat. Need to raise the bars though because my sons helmet occasionally knocks my chin.

Looking forward to the finished product.

I rebuilt my All City Spacehorse as a flat bar commuter / gravel bike about 6 months ago with similar parts.

Love this.

I’ve been using one on my 4 year with no issues for some time.

We had a Giro Scamp and now a Lazer P’Nut. Both have been great.

I miss being able to do it with mates to have a few beers up the top!

All up this is less than a 20k round trip from home.

Went out on some rocky single track today.

Love those Hunqapillar’s.

Cool. Lots of effort, but cool.
