so after a puncture on the cyclepath due to a shark's tooth flint, discovered that a year of no maintenance has resulted in a variety of near fatal component flaws - other half says, maybe time for a new bike?!!! - and am now heartily disappointed at lack of easily available components and frames, or even full builds, for single MTBs - what's going on out there - I thought we were going forwards not back into the arms of shimano!!! scarcely any WI's ENO hubs around, my favoured DMR hubs gone, suitable cranks and external BBs, a general dearth of SS and suitable componentry - bear in mind I'm talking MTB and 29er rather than road…but as a 60 year old hacking through the woods daily, a bit of respect please!
I go for the simple ground coffee in a bean-can approach albeit using an enamel steel pot and a bunsen burner - dump some molasses sugar in if you like it sweet and about 3-4 heaped tsps to an average mug - bring to boil a couple of times and allow to settle before pouring
