Re: Helmet Rear Light Suggestions
I use sn alpkit gamma on my helmet. Two birds one stone. If you want rear only, go for the moon rechargable. I had one of the aldi rebranded ones which was great until the saddle mounted bracket was broken by an errant stick and I lost the light in the forest of Bere. Either that or it was stolen by...

Re: Sleeping systems for the dog?
i have a brown Lab and he is a bit of a wendy. He likes to be out of the wind and well insulated from the ground. Main problem is, he makes a bee line for any kind of water to cool down. This leads to being too cold. I have had most success with one of those waterproof backed picnic blankets and a p...

Re: Blasphemy filter
This reminds me
I recently got 10% added to my wheelbuild bill for saying "26er" within earshot of the Proprietor.
Apparently "Gravelbike" is perfectly acceptable though.

Re: Wheel and tyre sizes
Hi The position of your bars relative to your saddle on that photo reminds me of xc race mtbs in the very early 1990s. Probably great for 2-4 hours fastish riding but a bit grr for day rides. You could put some higher rise bars on.(you will need to fit longer cables and hoses) It's also nice to have...

Re: Speed
I am just happy if I manage to get out on the bike.
I don't actually have much in the way of speed.
Oh look, squirrels.

Re: what do you cook...?
Lunch is normally squashed-whatever-I-packed. Usually peanut butter and honey sandwhiches and dried fruit. Dinner is couscous and dried sausalumps. Prefer chorizo but any will do. Or mashed potato, cheese, and bacon bits. Beer if I passed a shop. Hot chocolate if I didn't May well try corned beef ha...

Re: Exped protection
I have an exped synmat and after puncturing it on some particularly tough vegetable matter I started using one of those cheap n cheerful blue tarps as a groundsheet. It is a 6x4 and slots in between my bar bag harness and dry bag when not deployed.
