Do you think I should change the front fork? Currently have recon gold 100mm but the lockout seems good. Depends if you want to ride with rigid forks or with suspension, for example a good rigid fork for bike packing would be http://salsacycles.com/components/fargo_fork/ but if you can't live witho...

why aren't the lines linear and what's the explanation behind the deviations at 155mm length?

There were 2 different pegs at length 155mm and they both had different strengths

Zippy, I have both. I find that the Moonlight is a little smaller than the Hunka - Narrower at the feet, and the hood (not sure if that's the correct name for it) isn't quite big enough to pull over. I'm 6'. It packs down a lot more than the Hunka, and is lighter. I'll take a photo of the two laid ...

OK, so, I started asking questions about the above bivi in another thread, but I have a few more so thought I'd start a thread. Questions: What do those people who've used it think of it? Is it any good? And how does it compare to the alpkit hunka interns of size, does anyone have both so they could...

Inov8 race pack 3 is the job, very light, Big and robust And folds up to nothing

Does the £25 include Big shakeout entry?

Here's how I set up my sil tarp on the WRT, if I dropped the sticks at the front and shortened the guys, it provided much more coverage across the front

Looks chilly, and tbh, would probably give the same insulation as my £20 silk liner which also weighs only 100g

How does the size of the Moonlight compare to a hunka?
Its looking like my next purchase

Please excuse another thread hijack, but does anyone know breathable the TN Moonlight is? Is it as breathable as a hunka? I.e. would it be a comparable spec bivi?
I do love the borah bivi's, but I like the taped seams etc of my hunka

That pic was a few months ago, its currently running orange kenda slick tyres for road riding, And the saddle bag has been replaced with a monki wedge I won at the WRT :-D

My CX bikepacker has been shown here enough, but one thing to remember is quite how much a good cx is capable of, I run kenda kross supreme tires on mine for off road and there VERY grippy for a 35c tyre
The day one looks a lovely bike, but why no drops?

Any idea on the price of these Stu? Say a meter of alloy and a meter of carbon?

I've given up on waterproofs. I'm now all about the keeping you warm when wet and drying quickly philosophy. It's taken a while, but I've finally got round to understanding and apprecaiting my paramo kit that very much does this :geek: That looks good though, sounds similar to pertex shield. Buffal...

Mmmmm, Lovely bike that :-D
Would Love mine to be carbon, but I have no money :'(

Is it just me or does it look really good with thin tires?

Could well be a metatarsel, I broke mine (5th) and that hurt like a bugger!

At the WRT they had a bar harness, a double ended dry bag, a seat harness, and a sculpted dry bag for under your saddle, also a few smaller bags etc :-D

I have a decathlon strap-on mount and a Topeak cage mounted on the forks of my El Mariachi. It's been able to carry 500ml of fluid without moving. Have you tried 750ml on it? They look just the job for my narrow cx forks, and do you think that the grooves for the rubber straps would take a jubilee ...

Has Craig's tracker stopped working or is he just having a very long nap?It hasn't updated in over 11 hours?

http://www.fujifilm.eu/uk/products/digital-cameras/pro-enthusiast/model/x-s1/ My dad has just bought one of the above , its brilliant! A little heavy, but no lenses to cart around and it takes fabulous photos! We got it in refurbished condition, so dropped a large lump off the price, but I would SER...

OK, so I'm intrigued by what bike you all use to get to work/school everyday, I'm enjoying my cx atm but I'm considering getting a "nolobi" single speed for cycling to school and back, more due to simplicity and style than anything else
But what do you commute on?

The issue I'm having with spuds is that A. The position they put my feet in feels uncomfortable B. Every time I try to use them I forget to unclip one foot as I come to a stop, causing me to fall off my bike C. I fidget in my pedals, so being unable to move my foot is really disconcerting D. The ang...

How about an alpkit bicycle 7??

OK, so, I've given up trying to get to grips with my spd's, so I would like some large flats onto which I can put a toe clip Requirements are, cheap, no heavier than 400g and good when used without clips What do you think about these? http://www.tritoncycles.co.uk/m13b254s86p5380/GENETIC_Drift_Pedal...
