Remember to use the lanyard, I lost mine when the helmet mount failed.

Looking for a wheel upgrade from the stock 2017 arkose 3 wheels, anybody know the stock wheel weight.

You could always try patching the tyre from the inside.

That was a great read, had me genuinely laughing out load.

Thanks.

Can’t fix stupid

I can’t fault mine for what it cost (79.99 from Aldi)..

Will record at intervals between 1-5seconds depending on changes of direction, but can cut corners on tight single track. Batter with bluetooth & Glonass switched off will do around 7-8 hours.

Just asked my mother (mp and councillor) to share though she may not want to burn bridges :-).

Also shared on my social media.

Foel fadian was interesting on a cross bike with 160/140 rotors fully laden with bike packing gear.

Alex, next year you need to do it the real way, self supported and wild camping.

We did it in June this year is okish weather, those pictures brought back some great memories. We did it on our cross bikes, the only section I wish I had my mountain bike was on the slate descent (moel glas?).

Power kite

Nope, but you may want to ensure you get hdmi 2.0 depending on what you’re connecting if you want 4k 60fps.

Following for interest

Just reminded me to cancel mine, I went premier in June and haven’t used it at all since.

You may find that the tyre bead has been damaged after being blown off (fnar fnar) and may cause you future problems if running tubeless.

Hoy bonnaly 20inch, comes in at 8.8kg. Just bought one for my youngest after being impressed with my eldest’s Hoy 24inch.

I have a shan 27 in gulf colours, not the gt. It rides great but they do size up small, I’m 6’1″ and ride an xl.

Based in the Midlands also.

I managed to bend two sprockets in Wales a few weeks ago, 32t and 30t.

Using a vice and mole grips I managed to slowly bend the sprockets back and all has been well since (about 200miles ridden)

Gore power shorts, one small green logo

I finding it difficult to believe that after 4500k the chain was only at 0.6%

Mine arrived today and I just completed my first ever clipless ride.

Although they are orange, they are better in the flesh then on the tinternet.

It’s the latter for me.

Stw is truly a great place, will make a donation tomorrow (pay day). I think you’re sorted for lights now but f not I have some hope vision 2 and hope vision 4 lights I could donate, each with 2 batteries and chargers.

Awesome photo is awesome

Shifted to the lowest/first position on the shifter?

This thread prompted a rewatch from me, realised why I loved this film so much.

Arkose 4 has replaceable cartridge bearings, so just replace the bearings if they are knackered.

If you want to replace the wheels though you could send them my way :twisted:

I’ve just had my bike back from its 4-6 week service and the gearing (front and rear) is now terrible, I had just re-tensioned and indexed it a few days ago. God knows what they’ve done in the store.

Thanks for the info James, any idea on the stock arkose 3 wheel weight. Mine are sounding and feeling a bit rough already after just 6 weeks, so will be looking for an upgrade sooner than later.

I have anyone managed to source a replacement mech hanger for the arkose 3 (2017), my local Evans don’t know when they will be sent some as it’s a new model.

Sounds like you’ve just described my hope m4s

Having just completed the trans cambrian on my Cross bike, I shall be buying some finned pads.

After coming down the Glaslyn decent on day three (1.5mile, -15% average peaking at -40% all onslate bed), my brakes were smoking.

Evans has/had a trade in scheme going at the moment so I just picked up my Arkose 3 for £1k trading in my old Single speed.

N+1, I now have to buy a new single speed :twisted:

Looks good and relatively local too, following the bookface page.

Took my kids (5 & 8) to their first concert last Sunday, just over a week after the Manchester incident. Yes, it makes you think a bit more and be a bit more paranoid/observant but I wouldn’t not take them, the loved it (kiss 2017 tour)

Just sold my 3 bit coin I mined 5 years ago :-)

Yes, police confirming fatalities. Surrounding area closed off too including rail network.

Stay safe folks- Taking my kids to KISS next week 8O

Watching with interest as I’m doing the trans cambrian in June.

12 seconds from cold boot to STW home page.

i7 @ 4.8ghz under water, 32gb low latency ram, and loads of SSD’s :lol:

They are very aloof, good with owners but don’t like fuss of strangers though they are not aggressive. He seems more traditional (Bone mouth) than the meat mouth chinese shar peis (blame the AKC) so won’t suffer from eye lids.

Very stubborn dogs though, need good discipline.

As a pup

I have a traditional Shar Pei, so less wrinkly and no problems with the eyelids to skin irritations.

She’s two years old now and no problems with the ears, though she’s quite happy having them cleaned. Limited history of Shar Pei fever in her bloodline too as we know her mom/dad/grandparents.

The breed in general, if socialised with strangers and other dogs regularly they are happy and docile, though they are naturally stranger avoidant rather than stanger aggressive unless it’s a stranger in your house (mines gets rather grumpy).

Mine does stink a bit and the breed, mine especially dislikes water so bathing is definitely a two man job.

She is a lovely family dog, loves the kids (Age 8 and 5) and our two cats. Wouldn’t have another dog.
