Ahaha.

I did wonder.

I think it's a brilliant concept. However, I wouldn't use a rubber washer, instead I'd fit spring below the crown race. That way the spring pressure will allow you to adjust your headset okay. Except it wouldnt though would it? First bump you hit you top bearing is no longer in compression as the s...

I'm not sure I follow your logic re road riding. I've had stuff thrown up from the tyres of cars before never my eye but by god it hurts and leave a welt . I'd say you're more likely to actually loose or damage an eye permanently on a road than off road where its just uncomfortable. Just pointing it...

Because you'd have no ability to set headset preload to maintain a consistant pressure.

Essentially you just have a loose headset that didn't rattle.

Now just to wait for my Ocelot to arrive

he's given up waiting for his courier and making his own way.

Me?

stuffed a damp buff into the top pocket of a rucksack and forgot about it.

Pulled it out a month or so later and it snapped on the first strike.

Plenty of stuff to go wrong with a flintything. They dissolve which is mildy annoying when its all you have.

So generally a flintything maybe a lighter the wee long necked one but i have some weatherproof matches that live in my firstaid kit which i use if all else fails.

I sleep incredibly well in mine but i set it up almost horizontal the jump in and it settles to a gentle sag when i get out.

Considering making a much lighter simpler one.
With whipped ends as the dd camping one I have is a bit heavy duty!

Who uses one? I've used mine a few times but generally as a second option* and wimp out about potentially not finding trees suitable. Also how tight do you tension yours I've just been watching a few videos and they all look a bit slack to me! *as in take as furniture and maybe use. I do live it tho...

On the video at the end you can see he has to push the lid on too.

On the website picture there is a clear rubber seal.

A replacement cheque from mr taxman which i can't spend.

Ian forgot to reply.

Friend is looking for a hardtail.

Would you get a second ring guard on the otherside?

I might know an interestrd party for the superlight. Got a pitcha?

done.

This month was a hammock job at battle the beach.

been ages since i have used a hammock was nice and warm except for my feet. Plenty of frost on the ground whe i woke up.

The bloody race was a dissaster though!

So you're my competition then?

well its pretty soon. Have i prepped in anyway.... noooooope

I'll be one of the hammockers. Keeping the stereotype with a rigid singlespeed and beard!

Mmmmmm doughnuts

Ray, obviously I don't know the details of your mates disability but if he's able to 'put a foot down' this might possibly be an option. It's a conversion kit that turns any bike into a 3 wheeler, 2 at the front and 1 at the back which usually produces 'better' handling than 2 at the back. http://r...

Not a bad plan that. Those cups are pretty good for not being burny burny.

Just be sure to bring an appropriate drink to match.

Wee bottles of red normally find their way into a more relaxed adventure pack list.

I have also used hookah charcoal on my hive stove for barbequing.

I tend to eat better adventuring than i do at home.

Oooh yeah thats a great one.

Make some bannocks to dip in it too.

I would also like a wee peak at the beach!

I am surprised the wheel flexes that much!

steak and a cast iron griddle witha folding handle.


It was a "bit" excessive perhaps but tasty!
