I've used a bunch of Snails, absolutely fine for the price.

It's on the list, thanks!

Fair enough, maybe I'm a bit too kitchen sink to know what's actually ultralight!

I appreciate the input regardless, sorry if I came across prickly!

For a full three-person tent experience with inner/outer etc. it's not terrible, the Naturehike/Lanshan versions are around that too.

Three-person ultralight tents - Alpkit Jaran 3 is leading the way with price/weight ratio, plus it has the vestibules which are indispensable for gear storage.

Does anyone know of anything worthwhile with the same layout from Naturehike/AliX?

If anyone is looking for a Pizza Rack light bracket, I used this one from Printables coupled with the services of @KDense here. Rock solid bouncing around the North Downs this weekend!

Thanks! Will keep that in mind on the hunt.

They're on the list, cheers!

I sold a bunch of stuff recently and failed to pass on the cut, so have just signed up for monthly dono too.

Any recommendations for a QR 1 1/8" carbon fork, straight steerer, rim brake?

My first stop would be Hylix but they've only got 1" QR and a fugly disc brake combo.

My CIII fork (a painted Reynolds Ouzo Pro) might be knackered. Before I spend £££ on scanning it for faults, anyone got any recommendations for a replacement QR 1 1/8" carbon fork, straight steerer, w/ caliper brake?

Thanks!

That's a Hite Rite, an precursor to the dropper:

Anyone know where I can get this formally checked to see if it's a terminal crack?

Reynolds Ouzo Pro forks from a Serotta, 10+ years old. Heard a strange noise coming back from Epping the other day, stripped it down to check.

That's all the encouragement I need to try, thanks!

Surly 8-Pack? I'm sure I saw something from Wizard Works/Tumbleweed for front wheels too.

Anyone put newer u-brakes on their retro MTB? Wondering if they'll be in any way better than the ones on there currently.

Photoshop?

He's seen the light!

Or not in this case...

It's a lot better than you might think, despite the busy frontend.

Also here for shoe advice - looking for something more mesh than what I've got currently. My feet get TOASTY. SPD, sub-£100 preferable.

Currently got old, old Shimano MT34s

Those are AliX glasses with a slick website. You can probably find them on AliX direct for about a tenner, including shipping.

It is the "Outer Pocket" if I'm not mistaken https://www.ortlieb.com/uk_en/outer-pocket+F91S

Spotted this near work, and thought "that's loooong?" Turns out it's a 450 SEL 6.9, not many of them about. It needed 12 litres of oil 😅
