Re: The Welsh Ride Thing - Lonely Hearts Club Ride - Sat 4th May to Mon 6th May 2024
My question, why isn't john opening the 3rd. Thanks Karl and Reg :-bd I chatted with Stuart about it and it was agreed that three's a crowd. The last WRT LHC that I lead has turned into a great gang of riding mates, with daily WhatsApp banter and several group rides a year too. We are riding our LH...

Re: The Welsh Ride Thing - Lonely Hearts Club Ride - Sat 4th May to Mon 6th May 2024
I can highly recommend any newbie to Bear Bones, to the WRT and to bike packing in general will have a brilliant weekend of riding with Reg.
He's one hell of a character and will guarantee a weekend to remember, that's for sure.

Re: Aeroe rear rack thoughts
As said above use a torque wrench and I wouldn't do it on a carbon frame
But I liked my Fat Aeroe rear rack so much that I bought a normal one.
Even when not in use I still leave them on the bikes

I plot them on Gri...

Re: Bivvy curious
If there's budget to consider then it's hard to see beyond an XL Alpkit Hunka. I say XL as they offer quite a bit more room than a standard version which allows you to place your mat inside should you wish. XL Hunka for the money But I moved to this and won't go back to a hunka XL now https://www.b...
