Re: All new Flextail Zero air pump
Hmm - heavier and more expensive than an Exped shnozzle bag (and needs power) am I missing something obvious here?

Re: Which Exposure light?
Why exposure? Absolute garbage value for money IMO For me, they’re reliable and I prefer the all in one system too. They are the only light to have lasted more than two years (I commuted daily for 15 years, so used the lights a lot) I’ve managed to kill - -Hope lights (disappointing to be honest) -...

Re: All day comfortable, do-it-all waterproof trousers?
I’ve got the non cycle version of Rab Cinder (Rab Kinetic 2.0) which uses the same ‘proflex’ material. They were brilliant for a short while but leak like the proverbial sieve now. When wet, the material also feels horrible next to the skin. I really like Rab stuff but would be dubious about buying ...

Water resistant I spotted that, yet it also says 15,000HH which is more than waterproof. Dunno.

Re: Find That Bike website
Yeah I think it was only my persistence with the police that got the bike back - the theft had been logged and assigned to an officer but nothing was happening. When I tracked my bike, I called 101 repeatedly to let the police know but I never got a call back. (My bike had been sold on gumtree but I...

Re: Newbie bikepacking tent advice
The naturehike mongar/star river tents are pretty decent for the money - lots of space, reasonably lightweight and not too spendy.

Re: Off Topic: Any got any plastering exp of tools & opinions
I did a house up years ago, quite a few of the rooms needed re-plastered do I thought I'd learn how to do it.
I ended up doing an ok job but it took me ages and the mess I made was unreal I decided after this that paying for a decent plasterer was worth it

Re: Decent lock for bikepacking
Watched a YouTube vid of a guy testing various locks. I was really surprised at how easy some of them were to break. The combination locks didn’t even need snips - they just broke apart when the gave the bike a swift pull.

Re: Todays ride
Got a GoPro for my birthday earlier in the year so decided it’s time I started using it with this nice weather. The Pentlands are only a 20 minute cycle from my door so here is a short video of one of my local loops

Yeah, the equivalent Enlightened quilt is about £200 cheaper. Would be hard to justify.

Re: Cinder track. Scarborough to whitby
I've done most of it with the kids when they were still young, surface seemed fine as far as I remember (although I don't remember it being paved apart from the first bit in Scarborough). Depending on age/bike fitness, could be a bit of a slog for kids. Dalby Forrest is also not far away and has som...

Re: Pinion Gearbox???
Depends on your own circumstances I guess.
What benefits do you think this will bring?
Can you justify the extra spend?
