Re: Re:

Looks like it'll be a ripper. Fancied trying something like this myself at one time, have you seen Schwalbe's new beach tyre? the Big One?

I have, and it looks proper awesome, but the £35 quid each is putting me off slightly!

They do say it's the fastest rolling tyre they've ever made though, so might be just what a fat duffer like me needs. :facepalm:

A little light reading.

Barry - what stem is that?

Set out today planning to get a ride up the Pentlands, but took one look at the snow and scuttled off to Blairadam instead. It was slightly (but not much) better...

It's one of these.

Closest I could find to an LD style for an aheadset.

Cheers Barry, could be just the ticket to get a bit more height on the Rooster - I see they do it in 31.8 clamp size as well. Got to love SJS.

Just be careful if you are intending full on balls out riding. I checked the Humpert site and from memory they class that stem as a sort of soft-road one. I'll see if I can find the link.

edit:

They class it as safety level 5, so might be fine for balls out!

Second edit:

Just checked this link. http://www.ergotec.de/wizard.html
For balls out you need safety level 6, so maybe it's just suitable for one ball slightly exposed to the wind.

Lots happening in macretro land lately.
Good to see everyone out and about and we finally get a bit of winter
Kaiser, that looks like a great ride out, the view is lovely.
Gmac, that bikepacking is the way to go, looks like a great way to spend a Saturday night
I have done bits and pieces lately but hopefully things are going to pick back up from now on. I posted in the Fatbike section about what a great weekend Forth fat was last week. I am out tomorrow heading west and while I am unfortunately unable to make my entry to the SSEC in Slovenia in 3 weeks I am still going to take a week off instead of the two planned and go somewhere on the Trucker. Not sure where yet, maybe down the west coast or Shetland, something like that. Me, the Trangia and the tent

Just got to fit the brake cables now. Bars in a better position. From my wee test sit it feels like it will be perfect position for me in the drops which is what I was hoping for.
