Hi - I've got a rear one where you put your own dry bag in it. Its the original version of the one in the link below. Not made of the light weight materials like the current one but black with the same capacity. Works well with a tappered dry bag that alpkit sell. https://wildcat.cc/collections/sea...

Decent condition wanted but don't mind the model.
Ta.

Alpkit soloist XL?

If your worried about being slow , ride with me and you'll soon realise otherwise

What size are those two? The Morvelo ones are labelled L/XL. They measure 40cm unstreched and stretch out to about 62cm. They are tight but not uncomfortably so. The Pearl Izumi ones are looser but I don't have them to hand to measure. They're quite old too. Brilliant, thanks bud. Going to LBS late...

Yeah, I'll be there Friday night. Got to live up to my reputation and spend the evening before a hard ride drinking. :lol: Not bivvying though, I sleep badly enough outdoors not to want to do two days of it in a row. Will be at the The Railway. Nice one rich, will see you there all being well. :-bd

I'll DM them Andy. Don't want to terrify the general public.

They were good quality, although they did have an internal seam. Could be worth a look..

Thanks, will have a look.

Their XL can't be very big, 50 cm thigh is not particularly large! I have some Morvelo and some Pearl Izumi, both are fine on my 58cm thighs and in cycling terms I'm not over-endowed in muscular thigh terms, infact they need to be tucked in my bibshorts to stay up :cool: I've just realised that! Wh...

I bought some XL galibier knee warmers and they are only big enough for my calves.
Can anyone suggest some with leg grippers that will fit the chunky of thigh? (50cm ish)
Thanks.

Anyone else arriving on Friday night?
I'm biking from Leeds station and biviing out somewhere..
Be good to meet up with people.

Came across these "overgloves" while I was shopping for some other gloves: https://www.biketart.com/clothing-c7/gloves-c43/endura-adrenaline-shell-glove-p54276. Not seen anything quite like them before but have used gloves in that way before. Quite pricey and wonder if they'd done any bet...

Carradice do the audax in cordura. They're often cheap on eBay.

I'm very flat footed and wide toed and have found the adidas Terrex Trail Cross to be perfect.

I have these and they've done great in all conditions. Battery life is good, sound good, price good

Second impression - also seriously impressed she was towing her golf trolley behind her! How many courses are there en route I wonder? What's with all the flights of steps and ridiculous barriers - are they actually on the proper route? Sounds a bit bonkers. "not worry about what would come ne...

I'd like to have read a lot more about "day to day" experiences of women and cycling - what has and is being done to encourage personal transport for women by bike and who's doing the encouraging/enabling and how; what barriers there are and how they have been overcome (or not); more abou...

I read this thread title as "pant availability"
Appropriate really.

Alpkit morphosis is what I have experience with. Good shape for cycling. Warm but ventable. I like it.
