and lasts just a few days.

you should fit one of the spacers into the clips on the bag, then adjust then clips so they are the full width of the rack strut and won't slide, that will keep them in place.

better still is to fit some protective material to the rack rather than the spacers, thus taking up the space in the clips, and protecting your rack...

(scroll down, you can find better stuff to do it with in most plumbing supply stores).

Here's the route:

That looks excellent - enjoy.

I rode North West from Lairg along side Loch Shin, then took that track over Ben Hee to Loch Hope. Great experience: https://www.flickr.com/photos/47853324@N08/4945536158/

Touring in Scotland is the best!

Layback with a very short stem there.

That's a lovely setup though. What bars?

long Femurs = lay back post.
Short body and arms = short stem.
T-rex body.

Bars are Deda big piega, nowt special, a little too deep for me, cobbled together from the parts bin...

Cant wait for the spring to come so I can ride it - it is still knocking around the double digit negatives here! Oh canada!

My pompino in its new sscx guise.

ordered some new parts for my pomp. A few days ago..
as yet no email to say dispatched, are they just getting slower on this stuff?

I now live in Canada, when I was in the UK they were pretty quick.

FYI - Tyres were Panaracer Pasela and the Schwalbe marathon supreme, both folders.

I find that getting tyres onto a set of Grizzly rims very tough - I am also not impressed with the rate a which the brake surface is wearing out - not sure what I would go with in their place...

if it is P2A there are a few steep muddy climbs that will likely see you off the bike. Also, best of luck with the powerline/mudslide fixed.

(Basically go ss or geared).

me to taxi driver: "its amazing, you get the most time to practice driving, but you are still a shitty driver".

T5 paid for by my old man in england, posted by the guys to me in Canada for christmas (only managed to ride in it recently - been a bit cold).

very very good product and excellent service. will buy again.

those gloves look like castelli diluvio, with different grip pattern.?

i would have thought it would be fine - the roads would be gritted and salted?

I rode nearly the whole way up the tourmalet in April, until we can upon an un passable snow bank, until that point there was no ice - the french are very good at looking after their roads. (managed to ride over all roads attempted that week - about 11 col's).

take a wind breaker for the cold decent first thing!

(i know its a different mountain range - but just offering a thought).

no flex at all on the surly one - works perfectly.

Almost considering just getting a SS conversion kit for my CAAD but that just seems wrong and I'm not sure that there are actually any reliable mech-style tensioners about.

pic to illustrate how it works for tom

mine (uncJohn) is several years old and has a rear disk mount. not on the fork mind.
that carbon PX is an incredible deal!

what the hell is going on here?

sheffield train station bar i remember being pretty good.

^ is that an early pomp with 135 rear spacing?

nah, its a 120mm.

new front end on mine today.
Dartmoor vee-two hub, DT R520, BB7, Salsa La Cruz fork.
Next job is to construct a decent mud flap for the front guard.

umm, i thought there were also few other sports, no?

I thought that there was betting on Ekiden too??
I do love that sports like running and cycling seem to be so popular over there in Japan. One of my friends just ran the Fukuoka marathon. It was televised, like the majority of their running events.

ah ha! that explains it then. also...fine choice of lunch i must say.
