marzipan – about 4000kcal per bar!

I wish I hadn’t followed that link!

M83 midnight city, gorgeously epic

my ride partner and I loved the WTB Vulpines – daft quick but sketchy as on anything a bit damp!

I got my hands on some of the cheap Crossmarks and they are very quick too!

after doing enough long distance, multi-day, 200 milers etc etc my fitness is fine, just exploring all options for raising performance!

whats the point in riding within your limits?!

right now it is just about all my head can manage tbh!

unbelievable that its taken so long to get to this point!

My obviously inherent inability to convey my feelings properly and my seemingly limitless ability to upset those I really don’t want to

apparently the overall energy input required / couple of hours is the equivalent of what you get from a Digestive biscuit!

Mine is newly built up now.

I have put together a bike (now my only mtb bike!) to concentrate on self supported / going long events for the foreseeable future (BB200, Highland 440-530 etc) and with the help of Kemo M172 now powers the light and satnav.

When it was first built up I thought the hub was borked as it was so so so clunky when trying to spin it in your hands (I fact I actually rang up Exposure to enquire about it!). However, once fitted with a QR into the forks it spins fine. If you spin the wheel unweighted in the forks it just get very slightly clunky when slowing down to a stop but once weighted (i.e. in proper riding conditions!) you don’t notice it!

Went for a 4 hour ride at the weekend o shake down the new bike and it worked well. The hub charged the GPS and at the end of the ride there had been no reduction in the level of charge in the unit.

Will be taking it out on a night ride this week to see how it works in the dark!

ban it!

crowds mainly!

I am selling my reba xx forks which are 120mm.

I ran them on my scandal (also selling!)

guess I cant of

ouch!

on my way to 3000 this year but wish I could do more.

the start to this year hasn’t helped as not a lot in jan – march.

I work from home or I’m away so early morning or late evening 20-40 mile rides work best.

tend to do 70 – 130 a week depending on stuff (usually kids!)

shangrila 3 – strickoy speaking a 3 person tent but as light as a ‘typica’ 1 man.

acres of room and headspace so you can cook inside whilst sorting out repairs and allsorts!

daft expansive new but keep a look out on ebay as you never know!

soulwood – LIKE!

good efforts mate!
We have done several night rides down whish is superb fun (Llanberis rather than Rangers though!)
Great to be on top of that hill on your own waiting for the night to fall!

nice set up.

what frame bag is that btw?

£100 the lot??

when it was being drunk discussed a few weeks back we were thinking 6 days @140 miles ish per day, self supported i.e. wild camp / bivi with maybe 1 hotel in the middle.

would be annoyed if, having all the kit (bike and camping stuff), the bill came to more than £400

I have some of the Canadian college radio ones kkocking about and some late 90s.

its the best thing ever!

apart from specialized, no one does customer service like hope in my experience.

shermer – not sure yet. have you got a full build?

we cant moan about drivers not paying heed if we dont

mad to have given it back or called it in. Its been picked from a list by someone who couldn’t distinguish from a 1 and a 2. it would be untraceable and either way nowt would have come of it as to retrieve it would have cost more than the raw cost of the unit to apple (i.e. an ipad costs apple less than £100, a letter from apple and escalation would cost in the order of £3-400. it just wouldn’t fly.

if you feel better for it that’s good, if you got a bargain and karma points, even better but you should always enjoy a windfall to its fullest as they come round so seldomly.

4 miles in it……!

ir_bandito – can you link the kemo

scotroutes – bouyght mine from wiggle and the rims from flyxii in China. Will report it up.

Was going to buy a Pjug II but want to see if the Kemo is better as its way cheaper!

my exposure hubbed carbon rimmed 29er wheels are bring built as we speak!
think I will order the Plug II thingy as well!
Yoiks!

route please!

yes, but mainly because Sheffield CC / Derbyshire CC insist on sanitising the bridleways round these parts!

Ride politely and on your own / in very small groups and live and let live in my opinion!

perfect riding conditions on Friday and Saturday morning.

will be chasing the sunset tonight!

good article

19″ carbonal avenger.

Tapered fork to go with it and I have a King inset.

Will it lower the front end too much?

great company and products.
sometimes the V1 of certain frames leave a bit to be desired but their V2s are usually bob on!

in before the inevitable bun fighting and lockdown!

I don’t mince (but I am only 38!)
