Some people sell their spots

great, any recommendations for where to buy them?

I need to learn to drive, intensive course kinda thing, as soon as possible.
The companies I've contacted say no tests are available until the end of August.
Any way to get a test booked sooner? Fly to the outer Hebrides? Grease someone's palm?
Thanks folks

I need a trailer for my UA that is about 120 x 80cm.
Load will be about 35kg.

So far the frontrunner for me is a Donkey trailer, anyone used these? I like the manufacturer's vibe.

I hope Arup is doing better these days, last time I went to see him he was not great.
His wheels, as ever, excellent.

What's the Rapha of chain/chainring/cog brushes?
I have some from Planet X, terrible, sheds bristles everywhere, flimsy as hell.

Cheap, piss easy to set up, always work, huge tyre clearance, extremely powerful, no fluids, no rub, no added weight. Get fancy cables and housing if you want a better ‘feel’.

Speed Dial Black Ops levers + any parallel push V-brakes + Koolstop pads = still the GOAT

Dibs on the 2x Silver and 1x Ti cages, please

a lot of people "have lighting"

mumsnet (dis)approval is far more important than planning permission

I would be surprised if the bulk and weight is not offputting for carrying daily.
For webcam use, some high TLCI/SSI lighting set up well is going to be far more important.
you won't be getting much in focus at f1.2 unless you have a focus puller working 7-8h a day as well!

yeah this one is on a driveway.
I liked how it looked wide enough for a few bikes, and pretty stout and secure

overkill for almost any use, save your back and wallet and get the 50 f2.5 FE which is small and mighty

Oh nice! So many thoughts!

If I'm free then I would be very happy to ride with you some days.
Send me a GPX file of your route and I will edit it to add all the good bits.
Are you riding hardtail MTB or gravel bike?
Wild camping in the UK is absolutely fine, leave no trace etc.

What's this shed? It looked rather elegant.

in my experience Dyneema/DCF/Cuben Fibre (all the same thing) packs just as small as 20D SilNylon.
You can stuff it, but it's hardly an effort to fold something up in the morning.
The benefit is its durability, especially in stretch-shear situation.

MSR Mini Groundhog are the greatest

Yep. Mine definitely sags in the rain, only tends to be an issue if you've loads of people underneath

nice setup!
my self-made 3m x 3m, 20d Silnylon tarp, weighs 300g and is my favourite thing for camping.
sleeps 1 to 5 people! unreal how small it packs down.

please not this bellend RAD chat again

so cool, so many questions!

where did you learn more about SIPS? I'd like to read as much as I can about the process.
how and when do you cut the window apertures?
what goes on the outside? tvyek?
what goes on the inside? pain the OSB straight, or add ply?
what are you cladding with?

good luck with the project!

dibs everything, can collect next week, PM coming

at a glance:
no drainage board
no plugs on island
no extractor fan
island is flat one end and round the other
knives and cutlery are stored separately
nothing on the wall above the main area (art?)
pots and pans require bending over or crouching down to get

it's a Brexit Orbea Katu?

don't get hung up on overly fancy bikes.
buy a second hand steel hardtail that you like the look of. nothing too flash.
go to check it out, if the brakes work and the fork seems fine you will be ok.
later you can replace things. the core of the bike will probably last forever.
