How long does it take for your mat to lose pressure?

I awoke in the night the other month with my mat feeling distinctly deflated. Having spent more time than I'd rather stomping on it in the bath and looking for bubbles, I have singularly failed to find a puncture. From a bit of internet research, I understand that mats can go soft due to air cooling...

Re: Older school gravel cx options?

I think most manufacturers have been driven towards thru axle now (Cy from Cotic is still grumbling about it for the Escapade). Something like an old Tour de Fer might be a good option?

Re: They have finally arrived

Outdry Extreme, "external membrane combined with an inner layer of soft fabric"; sounds like the heavier version to me.

Re: Bivvy a Month 2024

What's your state of mind this morming Bear? Mildly peeved at my mat deflating (I think it was a valve issue that was easily sorted once home, but less so in the cold and dark).

Re: Bike Abuse, Am I bad?

If you're regularly travelling to ride in different locations, it's worth considering the benefits of cleaning your bike to reduce the risk of transferring plant/animal diseases from one area of the country to another.

Aye, looks very deluxe. Do you carry all the kit up every time, Jeff? Or does the hut now have some permanent fixtures (e.g. the grill)?
