29 gravel = monster cross

Different bike geometry, wont look as cool in your instagram photos. Worth it just alone for the cheap mtb wheels you can pick up used. Also you'll probably be able to fit 650b 3.0 tires in a contemporary monster cross frame like a salsa fargo or bombtrack beyond.

I got mine from aliexpress, payed about 60 euro's. I don't think there's much difference between sellers.
There's also the t1 lite, which seems the same as the t1 pro but doesn't have anc and improved ipx rating. The anc on the t1 pro isn't that great as it picks up a lot of wind noise and only blocks out low frequency engine like noises.

Try the fiil t1 pro. I was sceptical bluetooth iems could sound decent, but they sound great. Still don't understand how it's possible as the bitrate is way lower then with wired iems on my quad dac, but now i only listen to wired headphones for listening sessions in the home.

What would be the benefit of having a 1x drivetrain anyway? I understand how it's an improvement for mtbs because of the big jumps in gear changes that you'll have to make. But on a gravelbike it's kind of nice to have smaller jumps in gears and you won't have to change gears upfront as often.

Sorry i thought you were insinuating that something bad would happen to the poor fucker. I was reading too much in to it.

Can't imagine it would be a fun job to do indeed.

The poor fucker would probably have a great time in Iran. Don't be ignorant like this.

Are all people who ride LOOK bikes cool as fuck? Asking because all people I see riding LOOK bikes lately do look cool as fuck.

Planetx got plastic ones for a fiver, which can be changed to either direction.

Rocket ron in front, racing sam in back. The tread on gravel tires is useless when riding in mud.

Bagman qr with the separately offered support struts has been rock solid for me. Cycling singletrack with a fully loaded camper longflap feels great and the quick release is usefull as well.

Getting a gravel bike made out of spirit tubing doesn't make much sense to me, especially with that steep head angle.

marin pine mountain xxl on marktplaats including a bagman + saddlebag and framebag.

Sometimes I feel a little bit silly riding a salsa fargo with 29 2.25 tires on dutch cycling paths. There is no gravel anywhere close to me so most of the time I am cycling on tarmac. But I would argue that a gravel bike is more fun to ride then a road bike, definitely more comfortable and also shifts the focus from going fast to simply having a good time on your bicycle.

Current bikepacking setup on my salsa fargo. A mismatch of second hand carradice and planetx bags. Holds up really well on singletrack and the handling of the fargo feels unaffected. It gives me plenty of room for short bikepacking trips, but since I've got lots of space up front, i might get a decaleur to fit a randonneur bag for that epic long trip that won't happen.

I'm really happy with my naturehike star river 2. It's a copy of the big agnes copper spur. Tent poles fit in my Carradice longflap so should be about 30-35cm long. It's freestanding and the 2 side entries make it feasible as a 2 person tent. Including ground sheet, stakes etc it weighs about 2 kilos which is light enough for me. I payed 135 euros on aliexpress and it shipped from Germany so fast and no import tax.

JR Gear is an aliexpress sleeping mat that is good quality both in size, toughness and r value and very affordable as well.

Without supports, I found the bagman to flex too much with a fully loaded Nelson longflap. But since I've mounted the supports, it has been really solid.

The bagman expedition 2 with the supports isn't being sold anymore, but the supports are still sold separately. The supports are great and seem really solid to me.

It's decent for the money. It does sway quite a bit so you need to pack and attach it carefully. A friend of mine hadn't done either with his and his seatpost got damaged. I had to redo the tacking on some of the loops because it started to separate.

I've only used mine twice and then got a used carradice saddlebag.

I don't live in Brixton, but i came across this and it seems it hasn't been mentioned in the forum yet and i thought i might as well post it here.

You could also swap the front tyre to the back?

How tall are you? Because the lanshan 1 and 2 arent that long. Naturehike has some freestanding tents that weight as much as the lanshan including poles. You can find them on aliexpress.

I'm happy that i work as a binman for my local council, there is almost no supervision. In my city bins aren't being registered at all, people just call in to say they lost theirs and they get a new one, free of charge. Obviously some people abuse this, so I'm actually drafting up a bin consensus program with colleagues.

Have you tried filling your regular bin with the organic waste and asking the binman if they would mind emptying this one as well on collection day? Some of my colleagues have no problem doing this, others refuse.

Might be blasphemy, but how about underground bins, are those a thing yet in the uk? There are 2 of these on my street. I open them with a pass and put my rubbish in. My colleagues drive a truck with a crane to empty these. I never have to worry about forgetting to put my bin out or overfilling my bin.
