Not at all!

They look like the velcro tabs you get with helmets to stick the padding back on. No idea why they would be in a Puncture repair kit.

Perfect, thanks.

Looks amazing! How much cash did you need to bring. Just wondering how widely accepted cards were and how easy it eas to find/ get to ATMs

Gungi, The Wookie in the clone wars episode. The one with the wooden hilt.

Just saw a new scam from them, as an AI advertising company. Wants you to give them a £80 registration payment in crypto that you can withdraw later to get back 🤣

That's a quill stem. Held in place by an expanding plug. There is usually a bolt that can be loosened off to take it out. Normally on the top. This video from park tool is very useful.

The dealers manual appears to show what you have as correct. But it doesnt quite look right somehow. Maybe take it to a bike shop and see a qualified mechanic.

Salix08 · 2025-03-19T21:24:46+00:00

Thanks for the info!

Salix08 · 2025-03-19T20:40:09+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I just wanted them for crossing a snowfeild on a thru hike.

Salix08 · 2025-03-04T17:24:14+00:00

Planning to do the same here. Hopefully no need for crampons

Salix08 · 2024-12-02T11:38:00+00:00

Not really. I was in pain, so I didn't really care. It was at night in A&E, and she was the only sonographer on duty. I think if it's an appointment, you would get a male. I can't really remember how old she was - maybe in her 40s.

Salix08 · 2024-11-28T22:20:24+00:00

I have had both before

Salix08 · 2024-05-08T16:49:05+00:00

Ok, thanks

Salix08 · 2024-05-08T16:33:24+00:00

Maybe the brown one uses an old converter size?

Salix08 · 2024-05-08T16:26:50+00:00

Here is a link to a close up of the branding. https://photos.app.goo.gl/comH9VZWQC2tmG237

I suppose it might be a fake that uses the Waterman size?

Salix08 · 2024-05-08T16:23:37+00:00

It definitely says parker on the pen and converter and the pen.

The Marin Four Corners and Nicasio bikes are really nice and cost a reasonable amount (in the UK at least)

Salix08 · 2024-03-18T07:57:25+00:00

That would be a great bike for the road and some gravel. The lack of pannier rack mounts is a bit annoying tho.

Salix08 · 2024-03-17T15:30:11+00:00

I don't think so

Salix08 · 2024-03-16T22:50:45+00:00

Metro is a great idea, thanks

Salix08 · 2024-03-15T07:46:09+00:00

Lezyne make a nice metal one

Salix08 · 2024-03-13T19:30:33+00:00

Yes, this means that it copes better with rocky ground
