I've manged to get a place

If it stays like this you just "won" your second race

If it is under your sleeping bag hood then you already have a layer of down.

Cannot see how as I never ever use down

I dont think anyone expects us all to agree - we would not even agree on what type of bike to take never mind the kit - but it might be iteresting to see the variation/what folk like the most. Can i add i agree about waterproof socks - they are ok for commuting but how they can be decribed as waterp...

Hope - works on the bike and also on you


I love time pedals personally

is there not a scre you can adjust to bring the brake closer to the bar - pretty sure even the cheapo set on my kids bike at that age had the adjuster - its usually between where the brake cable enters and the clamp and just a simple screw I can get some for free probably when back in work but who k...

the titanium i own is 300 g ish - possibly under [ batteries are going offon my scales so cannot be certain.
It does not pack small like a pacamac[its not huge either] but by god they are good in use - i would tend to take it by wearing it though rather than packing it

I use a sea to summit one and its nice and cofortable TLS does not mean dont take what you need it means leave at home what you dont need/wont use and what you need is not the same for all of us IME 40-60 g extra weight will not slow me down as much as a neck so sore i cannot turn it. 20 years ago n...

Pretty sure its sweat that makes my sealskinz wet as the inside is often damp and the outside dry or at least dryer

As noted I think you have to just go for warm once wet off road or wear some winter boots - but they are too warm IME

Please note not in the EU so there is VAT on cost and postage- £20 - so potentially import implications £135 limit so probably just under depending on excahnge rates when calculater] Valley quilts end up abut the same price [ think they are £20 dearer ish] without import issues once you do some math...

I usea joystick with a MTB external battery pack or i use a sinewave becon dynamo light* + joystick but no external battery - i can charge it from the dynamo power pack if required. IMHO you dont need a brightlight in the middle of nowhere as your eyes adapt to less light and the top setting still s...

tubeless valves
Two laptops [ for the kids]
Last bel air saddle in the world

Yes cheap for a synthetic one but no temp rating means its just too big a risk for me https://www.ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/equipment-c3/sleeping-bags-c21/sleeping-bags-c88/2020-v-notch-ul-40-synthetic-sleeping-bag-p13466 that claims to be 4 degrees and is same make with 50% more insulation - neve...

Would expect an hour or 2 to have done it though, the cache battery inside is only 150mAh capacity. yes - they should provide toward 500maH from a 3 w hub - even a poorly efficient one has to b doing 150mah per hour as the hub will do about 600mah but there will be somelosses through the system. Po...

link works for me - there are a number of vicarous fixing of bikes threads going on hope it gets sorted [ and the rohloff one too]

it's current that charges stuff not the voltage, you might have 5V but nearly zero current? the current is the voltage that said you can have current without much amps the way I always remember it is picture a river Volts is how fast it is flowing- current - Amps is how wide the river is watts is h...

What he said - if you a have a working system just swap bits over from the broken set up test it works and repeat with next part. If it still does not work and whatever you added last is broken /requires investigation - might help to use tapeto code the workign system first as I am the sort of idiot...

cuben tent would probably be top of my list for kit

i saw these yesterday anyone tried them ? 80 g for a "shoe" doubt its that warm but might be useful fo river crossings https://skinners.cc/en/ Skinners Minimalist Barefoot Sock Shoes- i doub there is anything lighter than it is but clearly its a compromise [never tried but tempted but expensive for ...

radio 4 today - missed their name so possibly just a reporter about 1:15 was saying about the leiecester outbreak that it was impossible to prove this had happened by the released stats [ he had tried and failed a syou noted earlier when providing them] and the govt hads additional [not published] o...

walty only do titanium as far as i can tell from their website and online shop

Agreed i thought it was the lightweight bag that you can just strap to your seatpost- not seen them amongst frame bags - Alpkit are currently 15% off FWIW
code is TOGETHER15

cannot say I blame you for the alarm bells and @shaf if it was not lockdown I would have been there with my kids so 100,.000 of us in a park/beach/protest is fine as long as its not an event because its the event that makes it dangerous - just trying to be equally pedantic but of course i know that ...

we can say the risk of catching the virus outdoors is now practically zero Is this what you will let it slide? I do not think I am is interpreting this unkindly/unfairly by calling it zero[ish] how accurate would you say it is to describe Black Lives Matters protestors as "rioters" and what conclus...
