Apologies for not replying, I must have missed the notifications. I had the seller photograph the BB and figured the sizing codes out from those photos.
If you are the new owner Binky, hope you enjoy!

I just discovered sun hoodies this year through an advert on social media. I found out that Mountain Warehouse had them for cheaper in a sale and ordered one. I'm impressed so far, haven't used it cycling but have spent a weekend hillwalking in it. The one I have is definitely long enough to not expose my back when in a cycling position.

Hello,
On my Thorn Raven Twin, I replace my chain about every 7500kms and have just recently replaced the chainrings and sprocket for the first time after accumulating about 44000kms.
Regards
Hugo

44000 kms with a Rohloff Sprocket ! Are you sure ? it’s a lot of kilometers

Do you think 26x2.30 tires are ok wirh the Nomad MK2 ?

I have used Schwalbe Marathon Mondial 55x559 with mudguards on my Raven Tour frames, these have slighly less clearance than a Nomad.

So 26x2.30 should fit a Nomad. But perhaps not with mudguards?

There is also the issue that advertised tyre sizes don't always correspond to the true size.

Great photos, thanks for sharing. Always interesting to see other folk’s Nomads, fully loaded. I do like that Alpkit bag on the seat tube. Which tyres are you using and at what pressures?

Thanks, Marathon Supreme  26x2" 4-4.5 bars
3.8 bars it feel more confortable loaded...
