    Check the Geax tyres aren’t UST, it was almost impossible to get a pair of Geax Gato UST tyres onto Stans rims, the TNT (and non tubeless) versions fit fine onto Stans rims.

    At what stage of the fermentation do you put in a Corny Keg? Will there be sediment left in the keg?

    Using the Superstar silicon grips and they are really comfy compared to their lockons, have the On-One foam grips as well, but the Silicon are nicer

    I find not having a 16T annoying, interested to hear what the Sunrace 11-40 is like

    Thanks for the advice MrB, I found that the Italian beans from Happy Donkey gave a nice cone.

    I use HD rear and Shorty front, not noticed any issues, go for a MM on the front if you want something with more volume.

    I have a bottomless portafilter on my Gaggia Classic, and I very rarely get a nice pour like in MrBlobbys photo, its usually either a very slow drip or a torrent, or I get lots of litle jets of coffee coming out at various angles.

    I have an Iberital Burr grinder, never sure how fine to set the grind, and never sure how much coffee to put in the portafilter or how hard to tamp it down.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Coleman Gazebos are pretty good in the wind and waterproof, but the sides don’t fit very well, and wind gets underneath them.
    A real Ezyup is pretty indestructable with the sides on.

    I got my Fatty Trail for £999, added a knuckleball bar, changed the drivetrain to Zee/XT 1×10 and gone tubeless, weighs 14.4kg with Pedals.
    I think the Trail frame is about lb lighter than the Fatty and has a longer toptube.
    Got a dropper seatpost to fit, and it will be perfect

    Had the first ride on my Fatty Trail last night, swapped over a few components, 1×10 and tubeless and it weighs 14.4kg which isn’t too bad.
    Didn’t notice any self steer, which I did with my Fatty, although the new tyres probably helped.
    The ElGuapo wheels go up tubeless easy, the tyre is a tighter fit on the rim, and they don’t suffer from the tyre seating/wobble issue that the original did.
    However my back tyre went flat during the ride, it would appear that the join in the rim is poor and allowed air to escape, going to put Gorilla tape up the edges of the sidewall to try and fix it.

    Reading with interest as planning on doing something similar, although found these Stores today which are quite reasonable

    Just bought some clear Gorilla Tape, going to see how it works on the frame, its £7 for 8 metres so good value if it works

    Used to use Paragon tapes, but the last stuff has been pretty poor quality, far too stiff and didn’t follow contours, then eventually lifted at the edges.

    Currently using Tesa Heli tape from Ebay, thick, sticky and flexible, just used 75mm x 1m and 50mm x 2m on the new bike.

    I have the Tenn shorts and Endura, they are both a size large, but the Endura are slightly bigger.
    The Tenn were good, but the material is pretty thin and fragile, and I ripped the arse out of them on my saddle

    Don’t do the Dalbeattie Blue, its really dull, my son shut his thumb in the car door the night before we were meant to be riding the Red, he was struggling to hold the bars and couldn’t change gear, so opted for the blue route.
    I will second the Hotel at Mabie, food is great and very reasonable.

    Thanks, planning on hiring a fat bike for my son from Bothy Bikes one day, and then heading out for an explore.

    I can’t make Sunday morning, but can someone post up their Strava or GPS route for Loch Eanaich, as would like to try this route sometime.

    I have just replaced a laminate floor with a 15mm Engineered Oak floor, with 5mm foil backed underlay, its onto a concrete floor, and it definitely feels warmer to the touch than it was before.

    I am 6ft and ride a Large Primal 29 with a 70mm stem, the Medium would have been too short for me.

    My friend who is 6ft7 has an XL, so imagine the Large is more your size.

    Depends on the rim/tyre combo, OnOne floaters on OnOne rims were a pig to get up tubeless, and burped too easily for my liking (problem is when they burp, there is not enough pressure to reseat the tyre.

    I have a plywood shelf in the rear that the seasucker is bolted to.
    Bikes go in sideways, always planned to make a wheel strap, but they are pretty solid without it.

    Yes I use the 15mm mount, and a couple of QR mounts for the roadbikes
