short piece of tube held in 2 clamps above the main bar.. It's a 20g Co2 cannister for inflating a tubeless tyre if all else fails. I've made an adapter with a short length of rubber hose so once the wheel is removed from the bike, it can be re-inflated without dismantling the garmin mount. I love ...

Bit clearer on this pic.

The short piece of tube held in 2 clamps above the main bar...looks like it has a Garmin mount on it? What is that called and where could I get one, or something similar please?

I'm sure many of us will be visiting in the future, and we need to avoid it.

Or on the next WRT the lonely hearts club could swing by and lock 15 bikes to his pole!!

Many of the Alpkit stores have a repair station in them, they repaired a bikepacking bag for me after a mouse chewed a hole i it and did an excellent job. If you don't have a store near you I'm sure you could post it?

Me, my sisters and my mum have finally started a family Book Club having realised non have us have read many books on any "100 Best Books" rr "100 Books to read before I die" type lists... My sister chose the first one ... something nice and easy .... Anna Karenina . It's a heck...

A couple of lengthy train journeys and covid (almost certainly a result of one massively over-crowded train) has given me a bit more time to read recently. I read a book called Greenland: The end of the world by a Slovenian guy called Damjan Koncnik, though ghost-written/translated by an American, ...

Cheery Friday in that we are off to the Black Mountains tomorrow for a week to ride bikes and walk up and down hills and sit in front of a log burner, drink beer and read. Remote cottage with no phone signal and no WiFi. The whole world can go to hell in a hand cart next week for all I'll care!! :gr...

https://aeroe.com/ I have no idea if they are any good, but one of the pics shows bags side loaded on the rear. But personally I'd look at two fork mounted bags, see PX, then a frame bag of sorts, stem cells, and a bar bag. I then use a bum bag such as the cheapy decathlon one if I am overflowing. ...

Really appreciate the trouble thank you!

Thanks everyone for the feedback and recommendations, we'll be looking at all of those in detail and hopefully trying some out to see if they'll fit!

Thanks All for the responses and advice really appreciated!! We are looking at alternative options assuming a seatpack is not a go'er or is going to be really small. Custom frame bag and fork cages are options to look into. The current "plan" is I need a bigger seat pack for her stuff as w...

What's the resistance for a rear rack and drybag? I've been using a Tubus Vega with a Decathlon dry bag strapped to the top recentley following the demise of my home-made seatpack harness subframe and not having had time to remake it. Does the rack weigh a little more? Yes, by a couple of 100g. Doe...

Thanks all for the feedback! I have been informed in clear terms that a classic rack is not an option :wink: I did wonder about putting a small seat pack on top of the Alpkit rail thing or even bending the rail down to form a mini rack so a small seat pack could go on top of it and still be mostly ...

Hi All My girlfriend has a new bike and would like to use it for bike packing but being a small frame and 29'er wheels there is not a lot of clearance as you can see from the photo. Looking for suggestions for a seat pack that might fit please. Appreciate that it will be pretty small if it fits at a...

I have one of these and am very happy with it. Been on many trips, takes pretty good photos and is easy to use. Second hand available within your budget. There is a free phone App you can get that allows you to control the camera remotely from your phone and dead easy to transfer photos from the cam...

Barring a miracle, (electrical generation using nuclear fusion maybe?) I think we are probably screwed. But it's worth pointing out that Yvon Chouinard is one of the good guys, he's been buying areas of Patagonia and making them into protected parks for years. He also lets his employees go surfing ...

Ranting and raving in a woodworkers forum? Surely they're the Vic n Bob Gone Fishing of the craft world. You'd imagine their blood pressures would be at the bottom end of the scale. I can certainly understand your rage Dave, I remember you sharing with us at the time, not nice at all. My own parent...

From the WRT this year

I dont see anything brave in what they are doing if this was North Korea ,and it was dear leaders death, would those out wailing be the brave ones or the ones holding up signs? Its ironic you call people "nothing people" whilst telling us you dont like them and then tell us Questioning wh...

That letter sums up my feelings (bit of a nothing person tbh). I disagree Dave, I don't know you personally but from looking at your contributions on her you clearly have thoughtful points of view rather than a dogmatic my way or the high way point of view not all of which are going to be universal...

I'me enjoying this tread and the opinions/stances taken by the contributors. I don't feel the need to queue to be in the same place as a dead person but fully respect that some people do, and while there will be a load of spurious reasons for doing so I am sure that there are just as many valid pers...

Just as a follow up, I got impatient and bought an edge 530. Used it twice now with varying success. Spent a while ploughing through various menus to try to set it up like I want it. It's similar to the old edge 200 I have (well a bit) so less difficult than coming from the dakota so this was done ...
