Thanks. Sorry to hear about the knee. All the best with the recovery

A couple more updates on Sunday in preparation for next week's bikepacking. I fitted a pair of Ortlieb Fork Packs [4.1 litres] - This Increases my carrying capacity by 8 litres. Ortlieb Fork Packs by Andrew Priest, on Flickr Ortlieb Fork Packs Mount by Andrew Priest, on Flickr I fitted a...

I belive the Mt Augustus Tourist Resort (love the optimism in the name) apparently does a nice business in tyres.

I only carry CO2 canisters and a Lezyne Micro Floor Drive pump or an earlier version. Depending on the bike, either it is in my frame bag or is mounted by the bracket it comes with which is attached to the water bottle mount on the down tube. In this photo you can see the pump mounted under the...

Latest update. I am getting set up for a couple of weeks of bikepacking. I fitted my new Bike Bag Dude custom frame bag today. It is a perfect fit and is really nicely sewn. Top quality, once again, from Kedan. Bike Bag Dude by Andrew Priest, on Flickr Bike Bag Dude - Close UP by Andrew...

Nice buy, nice bike. If I recall correctly, I couldn't register my bike until I received it from the dealer, but I may have that wrong. I suggest contacting Riese and Muller for advice.

Bicycles have been used in warfare, probably since the development of the bike. The only difference today is the added motor.

Pedal fitment should be standard (that is the threads). Being an eBike makes no difference; it is still a bike. Shoes and pedals are a personal choice. More of an idea of why you are considering the change and what you hope to achieve would help with further advice. Also, do you want to walk in...

I do have one, which I have had since 2015, on my Salsa Mukluk. I am very happy with it. So much so, that I have gone with one for the Riese and Muller SuperCharger 2. One thing to remember is that the frame diamond on the Riese and Muller is relatively small, so the frame bag will only add a...

All Bike Bag Dude frame bags are custom-made, specific to your bike and colour choices. Mine is being made as we speak and costs AU$395 delivered (US $263), so not for the faint-hearted :) I do not have any specific issues with the Fabric water bottles peruse, I just I prefer Camelback bottles...

I have done similar using CRC Brakleen but have not found it effective, so I am not surprised by your outcome. I will try isopropyl alcohol next time before going to the next step of pad replacements (unless they need replacing anyway).

I suspect that GoPro mounts are up there and probably even more popular. I cannot recall coming across a specific accessory mentioning Garmin (I am not saying that they do not exist) but i do see a lot that use GoPro mounts without mentioning GoPro. Even Garmin uses a GoPro-style mount for its...

Clean the discs, maybe check or change the type pads (a bit extreme but still sometimes worth a try), maybe brake squeal spray might work ... and the list goes on... nine ways according to Bike Radar :) Disc brake squeal is common as. A Google search should come up with a plethora of 'solutions.'

If the valve is going back into the rim, it sounds like you might find fitting a nut that holds the valve in place is worth a try first. Schrader valves should not need to much effort to connect. No different to blowing up your car tyres at the servo. If you want to go down the pump route, I...

Thanks, Wildtrack. That makes my drive unit a September 2021 build.

I have just received from Japan, of all places (thanks, Amazon), a BBB BBC-111 HaulerMount, which will allow me to mount a water bottle on the top tube at the seat end whilst leaving me the flexibility to remove the battery if necessary. I need to relocate the water bottle cage from the...

I do appreciate your input, Stefan, and I will give it more thought and take a closer look at how the innerbarends will change the reach to the various controls. My previous comments about ergonomics were not about the brakes but the ability to access the e-bike and Rohloff controls. That all...

My partner, who is very much an aesthetics-over-function person, would probably agree with your thoughts on the GP5 grips, Stefan, whereas I am a function-over-aesthetic person, so I can see the value in the GP5 grips. I am unconvinced about the SQLabs Innerbarends as I can see them pushing the...

Thanks, Peter. I think I will go with the GP5 grips. I do wonder but if the bar ends can be swapped out if desired.
