Rooster looks great Kaiser, and great pictures as always Jamie. Good luck to both at the Puffer! is there anyone else from MacRetro participating/assiting?...

It will be my 11th.

Probably on my 1x1 if it's muddy, or a fatbike if we are lucky enough to get winter weather.

SS, of course.

1) can you use more than one bike?

Yes, you can even nip home and build another one then come back and race

2) how do you mange lights, i.e. batteries/power? so thinking of pair competing scenario where you have ~16hrs of darkness, I take it you need to but shed load of batteries??

yes buy or borrow, exposure also have a stand and will charge lights for you, alot of folks will have generators too.

Re:

Good Luck to the Strathpuffers

I have given up on fat bikes as you guys know but not on floatation bikes, I still like the idea. So I now have 2 x 65mm wide rims, one built up as a front wheel and 2 x Nokian Gazzaloddi Jnr 26 x 2.6 tyres. The tyres are tough with strong side walls, maybe a wee bit heavy but on 65mm rims you can run really low psi. Wheels will fit my On-One 456 so hopefully will get built up as an SS over next month or two and attempt a beach on the slightly firmer sand.

Wonder who that was?

I usually take 2 bikes. One with ice tyres, the other for otherwise.

I would Rob but this old laptop is driving me mental

got a set of these

http://ritcheylogic.com/mountain/wheels ... heels.html

brand spanking for 200 bucks, tbh didn't really have the funds, was looking at building myself, prob hope/stans, but at that price I just dived in, so the family will need to live on porridge for a while . it'll get the P29er on the trails a bit faster... now the groupset choice/funding question
