Re: New Alpkit Bikepacking Gear

Revelate is about to launch the 'terapin' Eric's take on the idea of the wildcat 'Tiger'
but it will be bigger and come with it's own dry bag. don't know a price yet.

With reference to an earlier post, you don't have to run the UK customs gauntlet to buy Revelate designs. As it's available in the UK

Re: Highland Trail Race - Good Luck

Five hours later I woke, ate more cheese and mounted my bike while watching the sun rise. The last day but one; no bikewalking please, we needed to tick off at least 100 miles. As we rode, the feeling of being on a bike had become normal, something that we just did, no longer a chore. Sure, it hurt,...

Re: Talk to me about Velocity P35 rims.

(I hope) Have tested a krampus lots and keeping coming back to my JOnes, the...
