Washing a tent inner?
I have been given a 2nd hand tent, not a particularly expensive one but decent enough. There is a bit of a problem with it, that being it’s moderately manky inside where it was packed away damp, I was thinking maybe that Fabreeze spray that gets advertised a lot on TV but I was also thinking of stic...

Re: BB200 2023
After reading these great posts about this year’s BB200 it makes me want to come out of BB200 “retirement “, next year Mac?? Got to be done Rob. If you don't climb those hills, they wither and die. I think we could make up the Home Guard section for next year. The harder it sounded the more I thoug...

Re: New Headset in the Freezer
Just a quick update, In a very non scientific experiment, The old headset ( in the frame 8 years) took a lot of whacks, brute force and ignorance ( a quality I am blessed with) with the rubber mallet on the removal tool to get the upper and lower cups out. However.... the new headset from the freeze...

New Headset in the Freezer
I will be fitting a new Headset into a steel frame and I have put the new Headset in the freezer, Is it an urban myth that it helps? From a Physics point of view it should but does it actually help in "Real life"? My home made press is ready and I have the knocking out the old headset tool...

One of these little cuties will be accompanying me "dog packing" one day!
We have 8 of them, Labrador X Australian Kelpie so should have plenty of stamina.
2 Boys and 3 Girls still available if you like your bikepacking company to have 4 legs!
