Any tips on shoe trees? Worth using them? Will plastic do or best off with cedar?

Problem is I want to keep the dynamo disc brake front wheel on the bike I'd be fitting the kit to so leaves rear or mid as the only options

Haha cheers. Will do!

Anyone got any experience of the cheap rear wheel kits on ebay?

Yeah, keen to get to know the downs more. Have been going out near woodingdean too.

Have moved to Brighton, starting to explore the downs a bit so fairly up and down, not been too muddy so far but after something with a bit more grip than i have currently

Thanks everyone. Will see if I can try out some of the recommendations in person post lockdown

Have moved recently and my regular route now has about 2/3 grass and trails to 1/3 road. Only really run on tarmac before.

Any recommendations for trainers for this mix of surfaces? Had a look at saucony peregrine and Norman Walsh so far

Yep, will pm

Cheers, only the price really! Looks like nitto is even more so better get saving haha.

Looking for a canti mounted rack that can take panniers. Any options other than VO campeur?

Cheers! Will layer up!

Thanks for the info. Thinking on road with knobblies on a mountain bike to tourer conversion.
Yeah realise it's all subjective. Don't mind the cold really but 5 days of downpour off the back of NYE would be tough! Will turn tail if it seems too risky/too much of a slog.
Great photos!

Might be in Glasgow for NYE and was thinking about combining the trip with a few days riding. So was wondering if anyone could tell me:
A) will the weather be too grim to be enjoyable?
B) any recommendations for routes for a fairly sedate 5 day ride? Will have a car so can start where ever

Do you know the BCD of the narrow wide chain ring?

There are two different standards (JIS and ISO) but you will probably get away with it. Definitely worth checking if something from the parts bin fits.

Interested in the stem and front mech. How much would you want for them posted?

Sweden? Route's still pretty flexible so let me know if there's anything I should definitely check out. Would only really be able to cut across the north though I guess.

Good to hear. Thought about kaliningrad but having to get a visa seemed like too much of a faff

Nice! I'm off in August so let me know how you get on.

Can't seem to get embedding google maps to work. Anyway was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about the route, whether I was missing out on anything cool or anything to avoid. Cheers
