Re: packable fleece?
I bought a Montane 'Protium' gridded fleece from Sport Pursuit recently, 230g in large with a hood. They do loads of versions (hood, no hood, full zip, quarter zip etc), SportsShoes usually have them going cheap as well if SP don't have your size left. As you say, if you want anything much thicker t...

Re: Fitting tight tyres
Spooky. For the first time ever I was also about to give up on a set of tyres that I couldn't get on. Saw this thread...I was always told to start at the valve hole and finish opposite Went on easy starting opposite the valve. My life has been a lie.

Re: Decent lock for bikepacking
Just got to make peace with the fact that if someone is tooled up then nothing short of a hefty D lock and chain will slow them down anyway For actually locking my bike to something I'm just aiming to stop someone with a set of hand snips or yanking the bike, I reckon a Kryptonite cable and padlock ...

FS: Vango tent - £10!
Found this lurking in the cupboard, a 'Vango Force Ten Vitesse 200' single skin tent. I think it's over 10 years old but has hardly been used - seam sealing is still intact and zips are working fine. Meant to house 2 but 1 is more realistic if you're using the included poles as they go on the inside...

Re: Tiagra cassette range question
I run an 11-40 10sp MTB cassette using a 4700 Tiagra mech and a GRX 46/30 chainset, so near enough your exact set up. If I remember correctly it worked fine without, but I still got a cheapo extender to be safe. All on my touring bike so been used fairly extensively without a hitch, I concluded it w...

Re: Tailfin Aeropack
I don't think the price is actually that bad for the alloy version. What puts me off is how high up the weight would be, I wouldn't want too much weight in one - in which case a saddle bag or literally any cheap rack with a dry bag on top would do the same job. Their mini panniers do look good though.

Re: Geometry sizing advice
As above obvious answer would be to try them out. I will say though that when I got a Fargo I struggled with drop bars on such a big stack, I just found it odd having them (what felt like) directly in front of me - definitely prefer a bit of drop to the hoods. How much seatpost do you have showing o...
