Reposting from the gravy biek thread soz.

I have 38c g one all rounds on 24mm internal rims (GR531DB) and they measure about 43 and are too close to my chain stays (rubbing when out of saddle - no good for mud)

I want some 700x35 (expecting they’ll measure a little bigger) tyres that will ride well on road and reasonably well off road, I’m not expecting miracles in mud but a good all rounder if possible. Have had gravel king SK before and found them grippy but delicate and a bit draggy on road, looking at terravail cannonball durable, anyone got a better suggestion for mixed surface tubeless tyres? (700x35)

Any feedback on terravails welcome, seem to be a hype/well reviewed brand currently but never know what reviews are “sponsored” etc

I find the ice tech (fins) completely unnecessary (having toured and descended some big hills), but am a big fan of sintered over organic. I’ve found better power and better longevity at the expense of occasional honking.

Maybe because women don’t make great choppers.

If either fall through (as seems to be de rigeur these days) and you could be persuaded to post up north I’d be keen to try a pair.

They definitely exist in bigger sizes/for crown location as Riese & Muller use them, just no idea where they get them.

I’m sure you’ll be the guy to find them if they’re out there. Cheers.

Cracking build.

How’s it ride?

Like this but for 1 1/2

Ugly but works - @r.hobbs you haz?

Super bargain.

There’s a bracket you can get that sits below your lower bearing/crown race and crown - thin metal ring with a lamp bracket that sticks out front. Have seen them on some German ebikes with tapered steerer. Not sure where to find one, but would do the trick neatly.

SJS have this @r.hobbs ?

Restrap obs #madeinYORKSHIRE

Also has a decent strap system unlike some...

The closures, poppers are inadequate - very weak, not a positive engagement... And they appear to fall off ?

Did you try brompton? They’ll probably have one or send you a new bag.

Awful bag imo but yeah.

I have the same problem on my commuter, if you’re riding quickly your feet are gonna get wet whatever bike/mudguards set up you have .

The series of events that led to your Panasonic 😎

Look like total shite

The connecting link is better on the HX, much better. Didn’t really need a thread, questions like this best asked in “any question answered” thread.

@606 since getting them I probably spend 70% of my time on them. Just like having hoods really.

Cheers. @mistermikkel got it, painfully expensive for a couple of bits of plastic but they’re a great shape. Designed so you can still operate your brakes while on them. I find regular bar ends a bit useless.

After trying all possible options for commuting I’ve settled on a carradice super c saddle bag and bagman qr. light, sturdy, pretty expandable/adaptable when you need it/easy to fit and remove and can be carried like a normal bag with a shoulder strap. Front racks are au fait but unless you need the flexibility of strapping stuff to a rack, I don’t think you can beat a super c. Photo below, they’re massive, like 24L max I think? I ran various front rack setups for the last 6 years but decided for commuting I prefer the little bit of weight at the back, without the heft and wind block on the front.

Cursed that bike. Hope you’re alright! #pray4sptr

Cheers all, @spotter yuno cdf?

Didn’t even spot that 😂

Put the dad bike on a diet - over 3kg down it’s a slimming world success.
