    Just picked up this Univega Alpine 5.7 (bike packing base)

    I don't like the wagging tail bags, but I do like carradice bags (often used front and rear, supported by some type of small rack). We have a few bits of Wizard Works stuff as a family, though all currently the smaller ones (snack bags, handlebar bags) and it's really well made. Same can be said...

    Just picked up this Univega Alpine 5.7 (bike packing base)

    Was just about to suggest looking up alt bars, some good options on https://freshtripe.co.uk/ amongst other shops. Schwalbe tyres will probably outlast the trip but can be a pain to get on/ off. Get some good panniers and a good tent/ sleep system if you haven't already (assuming you're...

    Bringing a 93 Kilauea back from the dead

    Should of taken a pic to document what exactly mine was. Though mine are 97 so years later and being a 98 Explosif it would of come with Bombers. Looking forward to seeing it once it's back from the painters!

    Flat pedal choice help

    Like that you can adjust the pins, but bit much for my needs and pins still look like could dig into shins pretty bad.

    Flat pedal choice help

    Rather than start a new thread, anyone got any recommendations for pedals without too aggressive pins, but wide platform and good grip?

    Recommendations of a good capable off-road tyre that's available in 26"

    So a shade wider than advertised. Torn between these and the Maxxis Ardent. I tend to do quite a lot of offroad touring, so something period correct like the Smoke 'n Dart is a little too draggy for the mixed terrain bits. Though very good for more difficult terrain.

    Kona Questions, sizing, differences in era (up to 97), clearances etc.

    What tyre's are those @Monkeeee01 and how do you find them on our local trails (clay/ green chalk/ flint for those not living near the South Downs)?

    Recommendations of a good capable off-road tyre that's available in 26"

    Looking through this, to get inspiration for wider tyres to replace my modern Ritchey 2.1 with something wider since these don't sit anywhere near that width! Do the Maxis Ardent actually sit at stated width? I also know some people who run Vittoria Mezcal as 27.5/ 29 and are really happy...

    Kona Questions, sizing, differences in era (up to 97), clearances etc.

    What tyre's are people running on there's? Currently running the modern Ritchey z- max 2.1, but those seem to sit really slim on my Mavic 231. @al-onestare has stated you can run up to 2.1 on back on a 98 Explosif and 2.2 on front (got 97 P2s). I'm happy with Black sidewalls, but preferably...
