Is the orange Kona yours? If so, what's the front rack?

Unbelievable fun

Scoblebrick and Scoblestack action going on here. Much practical. So Surly. Many off road. Utilitarian. Wow.

what was the future proofing then?

Sounds like he whispered an incantation and then teabagged it with a possum's scrotum or something.

Yeah I need to adjust the fit. That was just how I received it. He was going to rebuild the front wheel onto an SP dynamo, but they were out of stock.

Y'know you got a 29ers wheelset on the Genesis that you can use on the Surly, right?

It's a lots lighter, like hella.

I know. But I don't know what a pair of 2.35"s will be like on those rims. Not exactly the widest are they? Pls reply to my PM pls pls pls

Jake, that wheelset was designed for mountain bike tyres, so yes, 2.35 will fit on it.

Will grab the tent out on Weds.

Thanks dude, yeah I know but I thought I'd need something wider. Gonna order some Big Apple's anyway and see how they sit on the rims.

Your last mountain bike likely to have super narrow rims by today standard and they were fine with 2.1 tyres (average size of a typical OTP mountain bikes).

I had a shitty wheelset on my last MTB with 2.2 tyres F&R, they work exactly as intended.

Is the orange Kona yours? If so, what's the front rack?

It was. :,(
Rack was a tubus disco that I squashed and had reweld to fit on the front.

I have a 2.5 inch tyre on a 23mm rim on the front of my mtb...

What wheels are on the Genesis EB?

Hope Pro 2s laced to ZTR Crest. Just text you btw dom plz

Nice

On early shifts this week so I am home by about 17.15. There isn't really anywhere near home that is that interesting, unless I got the train straight to the Surrey Hills from London after work, however I do have Chobham Common or Horsell Common. Horsell Common is really flat and boring as anything, however Chobham Common has a few ups and downs. I went this evening and had a blast!

Riding a bike away from vehicles really is fantastic.

found any decent cross suitable routes jehbeh? i wanna go for some when i get back down

The Thame Path to Guildford is nice, and very suitable for your CX.

Give us a chance! It's only been out twice ;-) In all seriousness though, do the Hell of The North route. Great route, especially on your baik.

Holy crap this thing is so good in real life! Such a rad juxtaposition seeing it tearing through the City.

Awesome fun to ride too!

I'll reply to your mail, if you're free mon or weds, you cAn collect the tent.

Thanks ed, Monday is good for me dude.

So where has this taken you recently - and what trips are planned in the future?

Lol. It has taken me nowhere! I've ridden it on tarmac more than I have off-road, I've just been so busy. I'm hoping to get away at some point this month but that may not be possible. I don't really know where either. June's a bit hectic so once I'm back up in london and settled I will probably head down to Dartmoor or summat and spend a weekend riding around there. I really have no idea yet.
