Is this idea any good for anyone?

“Bigger volume” are you sure?

Not Jims but mine and it’s fine around Llandegla apart from the rocky stuff on the new black.

In terms of ferrys/travel, we are going to contact Stena Line/Fast Net and see if they will offer a discount to those traveling from the UK. Is there anyone else that you think we should contact??

Let us know by email ASAP on this please as a motor home is bloody expensive to bring over as well.

Thanks for the help.

Any more choice out there?

When questioned I’ve just had word that

“we are working to get camping free”

and they are going to

“Issue an update” very soon ref this

So I guess we can calm down on your claim backs for the short term

+1 for 29-4s. Heavy but lots of grip and nice and robust.

How wide are they?

Are they Tubeless ready?

Are they over here in the uk?

Whilst looking for info on the (excellent) Bontrager XR4 I found quite a few favourable reviews of the 29-4.

I forgot to note down the current tyres that need replacing are Bontrager 29-3’s which I feel are just too thin and not as grippy in the corners.

Doh just posted and found these

Is there anything wider that the collective would recommend?

Surely the pack size will be huge? even if it’s light?

No, it folds down to about 6″ x 4″ x 2″

Could do with a bit of feed on the lawn too…

I’ve just been laid and needs the rain as we’re on a water meter [tightarseicon]

Here is my different take on the Siltarp set-up. Rain coverage is excellent and provides a nice shape from head to toe. One side goes to the floor for wind protection, the other is raised about a foot for greater coverage and a better view of the surroundings. The fabric is nice and taught which creates a very stable shape.

Thanks for the above Antony for the above idea I’ve ripped off on a budget.

@John, what cranks are these? And what bottom bracket?

The stock ones that came with it from the statesMUKLUK LINKY[/url]

My 17″ complete Mukluk weighs 37lbs unloaded

The rear wheel (geared) weighs 9.5lb’s on it’s own.

It was 52lbs last Friday with 3 full bottles of water, food, camera, spare’s and stuff

In 2 bottle mode a couple of days before

Good old US of A

How about “work”.

After 11 days off that’s what I’ve got to look forward to 🙁

Because it’s fun, comfy and wierd

Been there, seen it, done it and now gone back to squre one.

I mean I was a full susser rider, went all hardtail thinking full sussers were not needed. Now I’ve one hardtail, 2 rigids, a fat bike and a full susser and each gets ridden, it just depends on the ride.

Full susser 3 days of riding next weekend in Scotland, fat bike yesterday, hardtail on Monday, Rigid Tuesday etc, etc, etc

April 29th – 100 Mile Fail But…..[/url] by Johnclimber[/url], on Flickr

Good Luck Bigface….. You’ve no chance

From someone who did the WRT ast year.

We spent days/hours plotting a great route, after the third check points in the rain, we chose to cut the bottom few out, then when knackered we missed out the last couple as well.

Don’t get het up with the grid refs as they don’t get checked and are filed away in the bin as soon as you hand them over (should I have said that?)

Just plot a great ride in the area and if one or two grid ref’s are nearby then go for them. Don’t go out of your way and get stressed if you don’t do them.

Just go for the ride and adventure. But most of all enjoy it.

I’ve not got the money spare for the Siltarp 6’x8′ and a lot of places are out of staock anyway so for an extra 150grams and a tacky colour I’ve just THIS for under a tenner including delivery

Any good?

My Gary Fisher Rumblefish (29er) is perfect for big days out in the hills.
