Under armour boxer jocks here.

But they're what I wear as boxers generally. They're ace

I don't wear padded shorts for MTB. But my multi day trips are limited to three days

That's a shame I had two rigid MTBs but now only have 1, sold my El Mar My Solaris is running a rigid Travers Prong carbon fork. I have suspension forks for it, I took them off a little while ago and haven't put them back on, even though it's a relatively quick job. I've enjoyed riding with them, yo...

So which bits haven't changed? And have you checked them?

I.e. are there any sharp edges on the rim that are causing a tiny leak in the tyre?

Weird with separately and new tubes. Sounds like someones messing with you!

Only an issue if you're 'cooking' rather than boiling water though

Ah, don't think I need that many...

My BB t shirts are now among my favourites and get worn regularly, even though the puddle drinkin' one is so faded you can't actually read it anymore!

Another headtorch, you can never have too many right?

This one is a Zebralight H600w. More for walking than biking use though, still have my Exposure lights for that

Ha, that is a chinese copy of the Emberlit! I've had my Emberlit and Bushbuddy for many years now, over 10 maybe? Back then they were the originals and were pricey. Now there are so many clones out the prices are now far more reasonable The advantage to the Emberlit style ones is you can use long st...

If you offered some colour options in the SS tee I’d order two if that helped?

I’d probably get another jersey if you do another, although i don’t really need another

Tim, have a look at the emberlit stoves. i heave the UL version, it’s good

I also have a bushbuddy (original wood gasification stove) and a pocket stove ti

Emberlit is small and neat, but is much easier to feed and takes heavy pots. Don’t take mine bikepacking though

bargain, if anyone can fit in this get it! I use mine for lots of stuff, it's excellent

Is it bad to say I have 4 hip flasks? One even has some mini shot glasses included, had some good nights with that!

Usually single malt. Sometimes whisky mac

two questions, probably for Rich
- when does the event close for entries?
- is there a limit on places?

I'd like to come up for this, just not sure how doable it is

Hand up here for a SS tee!

They had a nice hooded down jacket in M when I was browsing last week. But I talked myself out of it, I don't need another insulated jacket!

I popped out for my own winter bivy on saturday night. Couldn't get up to the ones further up the country but still wanted to 'take part' Rode about 15 miles to spend the night in a bird hide with no glass in the windows, was very windy and a quite chilly, was pleased about the roof when the rain ca...

Have a good one chaps. Disappointed I can't make it, will head out tonight for a local, solo one in honour of the winter bivy

I've very fond memories of last year's trip

Had quite a few little silnylon zip type pouches for organising kit. More for rucksack use than bikepacking

Honda still sell a monkey bike!

That strada output looks wrong. I have the mk6 and it has a 1000 lumen output for 3 hours

Left handed drill bit or bolt extractor should do that. Useful tool to have anyway

happy birth' D

I have the above. It broke after a while, ordered another to replace it, definitely worth it

Also have one on my commuter for mounting my strada more centrally and further forward

Luxury for me is the GSI ultralight Java drip, otherwise I use kenco millicano or nestle azera

I want that magic blend of low weight, bulk and faff (to make and clean). Aero press and french press ok at home, though I still mainly drink instant because it’s so quick!

That aeropress go looks quite good, still quite bulky though
