Much appreciated! That’s what I was hoping the top one was. Looking forward to working it out.

They came with a Singer (and are all singer branded) - is Pfaff linked to singer in some way?

Can anyone tell me what these two feet are for? Curious about this complicated looking one on the right.. thanks

Anyone got a premium discount code? My subscription expired a few weeks ago and I was hoping they'd send me a discount to entice me back in, but nothing yet...

My set up for 4 days in Scotland this coming weekend (Inverness>Corrour via torridon) - a chance to test my first attempt at sewing a frame bag… staying in hostels each night so I’m packing light, but feels weird carrying so little! Would really like a fork with mounts for cages, but having to make do with a bottle in a stem pouch for now.

Recently picked up sewing. I’m usinf an old Singer 611G which was recently serviced (bought at auction, and hadn’t been used it 20+ years).

I am getting this tensioning issue no matter what fabric I’m sewing into, and regardless of whether I set the tension high or low (pic is Cordura, for reference). I’m beginning to wonder if this is a something I can solve by fiddling with tension, or if there’s something wrong with the machine… the other thing to add is that when I go mega slow, I don’t get the issue, but when I press the pedal at a normal pace, it happens (the take up lever jerks and doesn’t run smoothly). any tips much appreciated.

Pming re wheels

Still looking.

Not sure my budget will stretch to £300 for just a front wheel unfortunately @Noblebikes

Dredge… does anyone know of a saddle library in Bristol? Thanks

I’m here for the summer (used to live here) and it was a coincidence. I was working, checked her dot not realising what her route was, and she was literally an hour from rolling through town.

Got to ride with Lael Wilcox in Squamish today for approx 0.02% of her around the world journey. Here she is talking me through the delicate process of unpicking the chamois from her £250 Rapha bib shorts..

After 4 months riding +250km per day, she was still so stoked to be riding! What an inspiration. On the home stretch now about to cross the border into Washington.

Picked up a second hand Secan F+F here and built it up in June in preparation for a summer spent in Squamish, BC (Canada). Have been so happy with it, but my only gripe is that it has the OG fork without rack mounts. Here’s my setup for 4 days riding some fun single track and forest service roads, with a stupid amount of climbing, carrying all our food.

Not so keen on this Apidura bag. I have a Carradice saddle bag I’ll put on when we’re back home this autumn, but was worried it’d be too bouncy.

Are there any decent thru-axel front racks out there? Might consider looking for a fork with bolts otherwise - I’ve got a Tara rack I’d like to use again.

Very happy with my bar bag. Plenty of space, weather proof, and I’ve received many compliments from other riders here in Squamish.

Thanks everyone. Now out of the country for the next 7 weeks. Will update with more when I return.

It’s silver

Thanks!

Updated the above.

Hey, I just pm’d you about these

Anyone got anything suitable?

Just set up a new Fairlight Secan with Rival disc brakes and new pads. Rotors not completely new, but very little use. When I engage my rear brake, I get a humming noise/vibration throughout the F+F. It isn't a sound from the rotor itself, but from vibrations maybe through the fork/headset? Any ideas?
