Hi,
I would echo many of the sentiments expressed already especially if you don’t know the Cairngorms. Much of your route is unrideable. I would advise lower level routes that are more rideable especially in November when you will get very wet(unless there is some miracle). Without wishing to sound too pessimistic, looking after oneself for 4 days in the wet Cairngorms in November is certainly a challenge. (Three people & dogs helicoptered out of Strath Nethy last night) However if you hit the weather right it could be spectacular!!
Seriously though. Just beaware tourist season is pretty much over so some places will be closed. Don’t expect much to be open in the villages after about 5.30 and if you are riding on Sundays it’s even more the case.
Lights, yep, watch out for the NC 500 idiots and enjoy the best scenery this island has to offer.
Yes. BB is PF41. I put in Hope PF41 30SS. The regular Park Tool Head Cup Steering Race Removal Tool works well to remove the old ones. Apparently the speciallist remover does not fit the width of the shell.
Cheers Golddigger for the info about 27.5 wheels. Dude looks good with the 27.5 x 3. Just need to get the right rims/hubs to make what I think maybe ideal bike for much of my riding.
Hello, just taken my trs crankset off a dude with the above tool. Worked fine. Replacing the PF bearings. They are shot.
JJs are supper light and fast rolling, especially if run tubeless. Yep thin sidewalks and not so good in the mud but generally fat bikes are not that good in mud. I ran my JJs on various snow conditions last year and never really had an issue. Yep more tread would at time be beneficial but then you end up with heavy wheelset on a lightweight carbon bike!
Enjoy your dude.
Would be interested to know if anyone has tried 27.5 wheels with a 3.5 tyre on there’s????
