Re: WTD Bar with 15deg-ish backsweep

Just checked - Ok both the ones I have are a little more swept back Pro taper Carbon 2020 - 20 degree sweep. Like new, fitted but not used Carver MyTi Carbon with 29 degree sweep Brand new never fitted. Any use to you? This might be useful to get a comparison https://bikepacking.com/index/comfort-mt...

Re: Maybe a daft question about tarps/tents and quilts

Tyvek bag for me,like wotsits link to joes shop.
Amazing breathable, will stop dampness, surprisingly robust (bought another but original one still going strong) and very light.
Wouldn’t go back to the super slippy borah and if it’s raining at all then my gets Lair used.

Re: Want to buy a pub ? (or a part of a pub)

I wouldn’t buy a pub …… I work in the industry (beer dispense) The only way possible would be to have a free house, and even then it’s difficult Especially with the cost of utilities and staff.
