Got a Decathlon nearby? Their (only shower proof) bivvy (£20 ea) + a tarp (£20 as well) is a way of doing this

Are the ratios the same as 3 x 9 (or 10)?

Is the spread of gears the same?

I built up a 29er from a Cotic Solaris frame a couple of months ago, took it round the Monkey Trail at Cannock for the 1st time yesterday & was stunned at how it flattered an old-fart rider like me. Loads of fun, really fast (I’d say Cannock hard pack is a good surface for a 29er)

The only draw back is the length of the bike & unweildyness, The tight hairpins were a bit of a pain.

For more old fashioned mountainbiking i have found it to be great.

I’m thinking of selling my Sata Cruz Superlight 26″ – I just can’t see when I’m going to use now.

Shimano MT33 are crap, just replaced with some Mavic alpine – so far, so good.

If they invite you to a shaving party say ‘no’

The sidewalls on nobby nics seem a bit thin for tubeless maybe

Ardents are good!

It’s quite an interesting idea, but as noted above, unfortunately solves a non-problem.

It looks nicely made and works well, from the video.

How about incorporating a wall bracket? some sort of hinged bracket for leaning your bike up outside when you’re washing it?
