Get my knee sorted, so I can limp around the Calder trail in September and the BB300 (more likely the 200, the way things are going)

Handlebar dry bags.... long and thin not low and droopy
'ow do. I'm using a Wildcat Lion with an alpkit 13lt dry bag. If you've seen the alpkit bag, you'll know it's sort of oval in profile, a squat little fellow. Problem is it hangs low and rests on the lockout lever of my forks, and errr ...locks them out. Any recommendations for a 13ltr ish round prof...

Bike hike down again. OS type alternatives?
'ow do.
I know it's been done to death, but I'm still struggling to find an alternative with a, OS maps for definitive rights of way. b, the option to save as "track".
I've got an OS subscription, and you can plot routes but no "track" option.

Yeah, the Klymit Cush is great (and cheap!)

Sonder Broken Road. Any owners out there?
Since Sonder did a few alterations to the frame recently, this has become my (near) perfect bikepacking and general xc bike. As such the boss has given me the green light to buy one this weekend!!

Wtd.. Exposure lights The reducer spacer for 25mm bracket!
Just got some Jones bars and my bracket doesn't fit on the front, it's the usual 31.8 or whatever.
Anyone got 25mm ish spacer knocking about, they wouldn't mind selling?
Cheers, Andy
