I wish I’d put a screen protector on my 830, it’s got a fair few scratches on it now

Built both my kids bikes from 26 components. Was lucky with the lads bike as someone local was selling a cotic soul full bike for cheap (came with hope wheels and tech x2 brakes). I then put a wanted ad on here for an xs frame and someone had an on one inbred in excellent condition. That frame laste...

Yeah, we actually took the shore road and camped on the on the shores or loch Rannoch on our second night

Hiya - I’ll take the frame bag, I’ll send a PM

One of these could work https://ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/micro-gripper/ :-bd £11 for something idiot proof is actually not too bad value For another £15 you can get it with the matching pot, cozy, lid and spork https://www.amazon.co.uk/Outdoors-Halulite-Minimalist-Kitchen-Multicolour/dp/B07PB64F9Q

Unless I want a break from pedaling I'm quite happy to sit and spin in a gear even if it's no quicker than walking.

I'm interested in hearing more on the logistics of integrating touring and remote working - how are you going to make that work?

SP have the Big Agnes Salt Creek SL2 reduced to £180 (RRP is £400) https://www.sportpursuit.com/catalog/product/view/id/3087019 I haven't tried this tent but BA are known to be very generous when it comes to sizing. They also have the Tiger Wall 2 platinum reduced down to £370 (RRP £800) if you want...

No idea of quality but the review of it here seems favourable

Can’t think of too many situations when I’ve been too bothered by the faff of setting up/taking down a tent - it’s not something I’ve given a lot of thought to.

Living in Scotland, the need for a safe haven from the midge has meant I’ve never really considered a tarp.

Depends on the type of camping Car camping - Exped megamat, is like sleeping on a normal bed. Bikepacking - Big Agnes copper spur ul1 tent, ticks all the boxes ; lightweight, roomy, small packsize, decent ventilation - only question mark is on its durability (only used it on three trips so time will...

Interesting - how does the controller attach ? Have you got a pic?

Convincing people that the taste for whisky is something worth acquiring must be one of the greatest marketing stunts ever pulled

I dont really get how it's more expsensive and heavier than a schnozzle bag (which I don't own). According to this ultralight version https://outdoorgear.co.uk/exped-schnozzel-pumpbag-ultra-light-large/ the Exped is around £45 and 90g. Apparently 1.2oz is about 40g (without battery). Aside from not...

Planning on riding the Badger Divide in April and will be finishing on a Wednesday. This leaves room for a 2 dayer on the Friday/Saturday before driving home on the Sunday. Ideally not too epic and mostly rideable! Any good ideas? Capitol trail looks good but will be too long. You can shorten the c...

Hmm - heavier and more expensive than an Exped shnozzle bag (and needs power) am I missing something obvious here?

Just get the mustang and stop messing about

Why exposure? Absolute garbage value for money IMO For me, they’re reliable and I prefer the all in one system too. They are the only light to have lasted more than two years (I commuted daily for 15 years, so used the lights a lot) I’ve managed to kill - -Hope lights (disappointing to be honest) -...

I’ve got the non cycle version of Rab Cinder (Rab Kinetic 2.0) which uses the same ‘proflex’ material. They were brilliant for a short while but leak like the proverbial sieve now. When wet, the material also feels horrible next to the skin. I really like Rab stuff but would be dubious about buying ...

I’m still using my DeWalt 18v XRP that I bought about 18 years ago
