Awesome, thanks. I have the Evo tyres but my girlfriend has the Performance ones. I'd like to convert both mtbs together.

The Racing Ralphs I was using, and burped, are probably a bit too lightweight.

Were these the tubeless ready Racing Ralphs (i.e. Evolution "TL Easy")? Or were they another varient?

I ask because I have a bike with "Performance" Racing Ralphs that I wouldn't mind trying to run tubeless.

One of my Surly Straggler from the weekend!

@joel_austen and @withered_preacher - are the cork Ergons all good in the wet? Not slippery with bare hands like TM mentioned with the Humpert ones?

Thanks mate, will give that a go.

Yeah, they're nice bars! Especially considering they were about £7. All the decals wiped straight off with a little acetone too which is always a bonus. (Shame the same can't be said about that Kalloy Uno seat post.)

The bars are Humpert "Lady Town" from SJS, though VO make some similar.

Thanks!

The stem is Velo Orange, this particular setup uses a 25.4mm clamp but both the bars and stem are also available in 31.8mm clamp.

Thanks all! Will probably give @TM's Humpert ones a go before splashing out for the Ergons. Hopefully SJS will refund those awful PDW ones.

PDW "Cork Chop" grips really are terrible :(

This is after supergluing the cork outer to the plastic inner.

Do FBNPNAers have a recommendation for something similar looking that isn't crap?

@TM ? @spotter ?

Thanks man!

Also this weekend, @pops and I fitted some town bars, 1x, and flat pedals to her Space Horse.

Really thought we'd need a chain keeper but hasn't dropped a chain yet. :)

Been really enjoying this setup on the Straggler lately.

The Soma Cazadero "All Road" tyres are awesome and 1x11 seems perfect for me.

Need to think about the cockpit next... Would quite like to try the Gevenalle shifters.

Edit: Would also like to experiment with tubeless. I think it's possible with the Pacenti CL25 rim and Cazadero tyre combo I've got going on.

Cheers to Pete and to all who made it a great day in the woods again!

Top Friday. 10/10.

My first train to Walthamstow has been cancelled. Will hop on the next one which should see me arrive in Chingford just moments before 11am, all being well.

I'll come! My train rolls in to Chingford at 10:44. See you there.

Still looking!

What's the problem dude??

I'm interested in hearing some of these ideas. What you got in mind?

Nice! Didn't realise that was possible. Looks ideal.

I assume clearance around the caliper wasn't an issue? The stays look to be at the perfect angle.

Huge thanks to Pete and to everyone else for a awesome day out! Had a lot of fun today and it was great to meet everyone. Thanks for all the entertainment Zooey and Ho! :)

Will be riding up with @mmccarthy and @spotter, too.

Still in!

Just watched this again, even more excited for tomorrow now :)
