Maxxis Chronicle 29+ for £26.50 from Chain Reaction. This is the 3" Exo TR 120tpi version.

What's a suitable rim width for these? I suspect my current 25mm rims are a bit narrow

[PJG]

They fit very well on my 50mm rabbit hole rims

Is that 25mm internal? I used to run 3" tyres on Flows which was fine but didn't allow the lowest pressures to be run

[whitestone]

See my separate rim width thread as to what I'm after.

I have the older version of these with the boa ratchet. I love them. They've done the HTR twice now and the heel padding is starting to wear away a little. I was planning to use them again this year but I've just bought a pair of these too so that I have some backup.

I just got one of these down blankets for £20 as a top-up for our sleeping system when needed. It weighs 460g including the stuff sack on my scales. I think it is the same 'Costco throw' that the bespoke ultralight guy makes his hammock blankets from.

I have just bought this lightweight, credit card sized power bank for my mobile phone. It was £10 delivered. It is one to keep in the bag for those emergency 'oh crap I have broken my leg and my phone is dead' sort of moments. Weighs 86g on my scales and will put 20-30% into my Moto G4's battery. It has an integral wire and comes with an iPhone connection too for you posh people.

The Trans-Cambrian isn't *too* hard to follow especially if you've done any of the BB events since it passes quite close to BB Towers. There are a couple of "Wheeeee! Brilliant downhill" before you realise that the route turned off 200 metres back uphill moments Should be much drier than when I did it in March

Thanks Whitestone, I'm new to the area - must get along to the next WRT or similar though!

Thanks both, I was lucky and my size was available so I thought I'd give them a whirl as I know spesh shoes fit me nicely, but I've been using shimano for a few years now because I find them harder wearing and better VFM, but at £30 and another set of shoes on there way out, I'll see how these go.

Does anybody know if Apidura do a discount for 'boners?

Nope.

Edit - that's nope as in no discount rather than nope I don't know.
