Hi Gary, I did this about 4 years ago in the summer in the dry on a loaded touring bike (cannondale T2000) .I think my tyres were marathon plus 32 front, 35 rear and I cycled all of it.Most of it is classic Highland forestry track, rough,undulating and designed for BIG lorries to take timber out.The track would be harder in the wet and if there were timber extractions going on.It is remote and I only saw one other person . Great scenery ,birds etc If you`re heading that way I would say it`s the only way to go as the A82 is well dangerous.All the best Davy.

Thank you people for your information,I thought it was a shop I was dealing with.I`ll just have to persevere. Thanks Davy.

Hi fellow travellers. Anybody know why I am unable to get a reply from this company? I`ve tried all methods of communication, over the past month, in order to buy some decals , but all to no avail.Cheers Davy.

Thanks people for taking the time to reply. Very helpful. I have also been in touch with Derek from oldcycletrader who has also been very helpful. Thank you . Davy

Thank you MLJ for replying , I was beginning to think there was nobody out there. I already have the cables .It was more a question of whether to use the down tube or the top tube and whether to go over or under the bottom bracket and also which kit to use. I dont want to use cable ties and want to keep it as clean as possible.The frame has no braze - ons. Any suggestions ?Ta Davy.

Hi fellow bikies,can anyone suggest ways of routing the two cables from a stem mounted changer to the rear hub? Have you got to use pulley wheels or are cable stops sufficient? ta Davy.

Thank you all, got some spokes, next Q is :- is there such a thing as a double pulley wheel for a 5 speed SA ?To fit at top of seat tube. Ta Davy and ps where can I get it ?

Hi fellow travellers, what size / length of spoke should I use for a SA 5/2 speed hub onto a 700c rim?any other tips would be appreciated. ta Davy.
