Re: Wide opening bivi bags
Closest so far, although I’ve not managed to get to alpkit to see if they’ll modify. I asked this a few years ago and they said no as too busy. I do however have a largish piece of red Hunka material that they sold me. I was going to get an outdoor equipment repairer to cut up the Hunka and put a zi...

Re: Silly wide bars with sweep
Soma Dream Riser is a nice wide swept riser bar - 10mm too short each end :???: https://www.somafab.com/archives/product/dream-riser-handlebar Spendy but worth it for me.

I think it's Price paid + customs charge + shipping Then 20% vat on that lot. It is definitely not price paid it is price registered.

General use magnifier.
Any recommendations for general use hands free magnifiers with led lighting?

I have seen a few on the interweb and read reviews but nothing like o...

Re: Food to take bikepacking.
I started doing research on this after a disgusting, and with hind sight hilarious, dried meal accident.
After reading this https://bikepacking.com/plog/bikepackin ... packing-1/
I decided to just carry very basic ready made stuff and forage for the rest.

This does not really answer your question as I bought some 'nearly new' ones. These had been fitted but found wanting. They came with the original packaging which did not include any spacer. When fitted onto a Reba fork with a 160mm disc the caliper hit the spokes so had to buy a spacer and 180mm di...
