That’s great. So just to confirm, with a normal short cage rear D.A mech, I can add the wolf tooth and it will the accept a 11-32 cassette, even though the short cage has a 28 tooth limit?

cheers

Cheers, why would there be a trim function from small to big ring, am I being stupid as this is what happens to mine

cheers

Thanks all, I was heading for the g-ones in 30mm.
Stylistically, well I’m not too bothered if I’m doing it wrong, being 46 I need all the comfort I can get so the lauf’s are coming with me. Thanks dovebiker, bars double taped already :wink:

oh, should have said, taking the moots so its road im after…

hope you took the laptop!

nice….making my day at the computer quite bearable..

Hi, Im making a frame bag at the mo, first attempt so not sure. This will be the prototype and if successful ill make another two as i have enough VX21 fabric. what have you got – drop me an email at
one_sphATyahoo.co.uk

I actually put a down payment on a moots route (having a custom vamoots cr and now a mootox) then I though this is nuts zero the frame is going to take a bashing from bike bags, I’ll be commuting in it and I can build a cheaper frame with top end parts for the price of a moots frame.

I went for a croix Der Fer ti, built her up with xtr/ Dura ace, king / stans wheels, woodchippers, king ti cages etc. Just did a century ride on her today and was out yesterday riding singletrack (I change out the wheels). Cracking bike, supa comfy and versatile. Glad I didn’t go for the route…

Highlands in july – no midges – unlikely.
Torridon is fantastic with lots of trails / exploring. North west is great around stac pollaidh also far north around tongue (the local shop does a great sticker “I love tongue”).
checkout the developing mountainbiking scotland website for lots of recommendations

just bagged a neoair off here so will go with that. also just had the NF down bag arrive, again from here. god to -2 so should be ok with a jkt in reserve. Thanks all…

cheers…think a mat upgrade is on the cards, liking the weight/size/r value of the Exped Synmat winter….anyone god a 2nd hand one for sale ;)

:wink:

oh forgot to add, my mate has given me his terra nova Jupiter bivi on long term loan…so may use that. Also, may invest in a good sleeping pad though, the ol alpkit base camp model is a wee bit big for this adventure.. not one of those klymit inertia ones as i can believe they are actually comfy (especially for a wriggler like me)

Cheers guys, I’ve actually got mountain Hardwear spectre SL bag I use for winter back packing trips, it can be too warm though. You’re right Mr routes, can be +/-20 up here….
The rig was finished yesterday and she is having her maiden off road trip this weekend to try out the woodchippers…

ahh, this thread made me go and pull out my copy of ‘Chill Out’ and give it a listen…

so, a wheel (stans grail) built on the new XT dynamo using a igaro D1 with exposure light would do the job….
