What are you guys planning on taking for Tuscany sleep wise? My current thinking is lightweight sleeping bag with a bivi bag and leave the tent at home?

Re: Saddle packs that clamp to seat post?
After reading your experience's with the koala I thought I'd give it a try again. I contacted Alpkit who sent me the new revised extra strap with the clamps. I have since tried it out and can confirm that it makes a big difference stopping the straps from loosining and hence very little sway. Cheers...

Cairngorm loop outer on a cx bike?
Having done the inner loop twice I thought I might have a go at the outer loop. The inner loop is a bit much for the cx bike in places but what is the outer loop like? Am I right in thinking the terrain is a bit easier going? Also any ideas how long it would take to loop it starting and finishing in...

Re: Saddle packs that clamp to seat post?
Well after the comments I decided to phone Alpkit. They are sending me some new straps which will hopefully sort the issues out. So will give it a go first before looking for an alternative.

Re: Saddle packs that clamp to seat post?
Maybe I just need to experiment with a different strap set up! Mine kept creeping from under the seat and the bag would get lower and lower no matter how much I readjust it. The strap on the seatpost would just get higher and higher. Eventually it would end up touching the tyre. Are there updated st...

Saddle packs that clamp to seat post?
Hey guys looking at replacing my koala. As last time I used it I spent too much time faffing with it as it kept coming loose and swaying. So got thinking about buying something that will clamp on the seatpost. does anybody have a list of alternatives?
Cheers
