Is the front derailleur clamp removable? (Assume it’s not a band on style, but perhaps the clamp fixture can be removed with bolts?)

Good morning 🙏🏼

I would only recommend gorilla tape if you are doing a mullet conversion of a non-tubeless ready rim. Reason being that that tape is very thick and it can prevent the tire from being able to move up onto the edge of the rim where it needs to be seated. People really seem to like the 3M 8896/8898 strapping tape as an alternative to the name-brand tubeless tapes. I would also recommend that you only try converting your other bikes using tubeless ready tires. It is possible to use a tubeless tire on a standard rim and make it work, but it's almost impossible to get a non-tubeless tire to seal on any rim - the bead just isn't designed for it.

Kudos for doing that climb on the gravel bike. It's tough. Have you tried it from the coast side? I find it even more of a challenge.

A fellow local KZbinr! - done the Carrick hills many times its always savage regardless which way you go up! - nice to see someone else out there enjoying 'well kent' roads! - ATB Tom

So lucky to be able to bike there 🎉

Enjoyed your Carrick Hills video very much. Im recuperating from a double knee replacement and cant wait to get back on my bike. These vids are good mental therapy. Cheers from Melbourne Australia!

No, it was a clean pass

Definitely addicted. Mind you, I'm not saying cycling is a matter of life and death. It's much more important than that.

❤😊😍😢🏞️

Started adding in the shore front on my loop now. The headwind back on my ride on Tuesday was also brutal but certainly meant my legs got an added workout

Good morning

Cycling chimp, you don't change things "out", you just change them !! You're not American,no need to use daft Americanisms!! A nice little mocha !!!! Wooooooo

Scotland weather sounds like Melbourne 😂

Thanks for the advice I have been doing what you have been posting I can now see the benefits in my cycling

Helpful

amazing video!!! Scotland is absolutely beautiful!! And they way you present the trip is wonderfu!!!

Are you using a cadence sensor? I'm using a Cateye BT sensor connected to my phone and Cateye head unit. For my current level of strength and fitness I'm spinning at 90rpm

Interesting bike. How is the weight?

I'm definitely going to ride up and around it at some point. It's only 22.5 miles from my house so it should be a decent day's cycling.

Yep

Yup

Have you had any issues with the GP? Seems like a lot moving to the DJI Action cam

Another cracking video fella! I’m going to head out on Friday but I think I’ll head in the opposite direction to Troon

Brilliant video and love these trek bars ❤

Another great vid. Familiar roads, I’m up Mauchline way and often hit the coast down via Tarbolton and Monkton before looping up Irvine way or back through Doonfoot and up toward Drongan and Cumnock. How you find the bone conducting headphones? Big fan of the Sleaford Mods and Prodigy (saw latter in Glasgow Green in ‘97 after Fat of the Land was released!). Happy cycling!

Loved the video! First time visitor to your channel… liked and subscribed.

Roads and trails I know well. Did you know there's a bike wash available beside the visitor centre?

Awesome ride

Out of the year, living out there in scotland is it cloudy like most of the time

Good morning brother

I've been meaning to ask what pedals and shoes did you end up using on the 400?

Enjoyed that one - got to say not really a fan of the camera on the pole behind you...

Widfarms do provide for perfect gravel, great video mate.

And watch out for red traffic lights where the law requires you to stop like any other road user ........

Hello. New subscriber!

Awesome view. New sub here. Stay cool

Nice video, enjoyed. Subbed. Fellow semi local by looks of it - Ayrshire now but from Paisley originally. Nice production and guid patter!

Awesome job

My dad was a big cycle tourer in the late 50s early 60s. He and his pals used to ride all over Scotland, in all weathers, on steel 10 speed bikes, staying in in hostels and camping out (can you imagine the midgies?). They had great lingo. Dad always said "miles build stamina, but hills create character." Making tea was "drumming up." And running out of energy (bonking) was "getting the knock." I've got a few photos of dad and the blokes in their very early 20s, and you can tell how much they loved the cycling life. The technology has changed, but cycling is still brilliant.

It's a silly question. And I couldn't agree more. Cheers

Good video watching you from Ireland you look like your father great way to see the country side.

Well done! Awesome you got to do it with your dad too 🙌🏼

Well done mate! The first one is the hardest! What was your time in the end? Also you should put a link to your strava in your description box so we can follow you on there

Great job

Hello, what panniers work for this? Would be interested

Very cool ride

Was a grand day out, pity I had to cut it short, looking forward to next year.

Great vid, cheers
