Both these places do that saddle pressure mapping as part of the wider bike fit. Be prepared to dig deep though, not cheap. https://www.cyclefit.co.uk/ https://www.philburtinnovation.co.uk/ I think Retül based bike fits also do some sort of sit bone mapping, but it's on a tablet like device, rather...

27.2 is an odd seatpost size for a dropper , do ypu get many brands in that size.

How many folk use a 34 single ring set up for the HT550?

I have a 27.2mm dropper on my gravel bike. Weird size for a mountain bike...

Yes please! We had to bin our tent this year

Alpkit Brukit. Not really very small, but will do nicely for family camping this weekend and when my son and I go bikepacking next month.

Now sold

Upgrading to an Ordos 2, so I have my soloist for sale. One of the poles snapped, but alpkit include this handy little sleeve to put over the snapped pole for a fix. And it works a treat. But because of this, I'm only looking for £50+ p&p. It is, however, dry and with no rips in the fabric. Phot...

Does anyone want to swap a set of DTSwiss E1800 700c wheels (can include 32mm tyres and brake rotors, possibly an 11-32 cassette if i can find it) for a set of 650b wheels? Thru axel (road/gravel 12mm). I want to see if I can run slightly wider gravel tyres by using 650b wheels on my gravel bike.

As above, I'm after an alpkit Ordu 2 or similar size/weight 2 person tent.

Just because it's a 3 litre bladder doesn't mean I fill it to the brim- this time of year I'll put about 1.5 litres in it. But i drink a lot of water (500-750ml on my 12 mile commute). Though last summer during the August heatwave, I was filling it 2-3 times/day. But I don't have the space for anoth...

It looks a lot more than it is due to the size of my bike. My frame bag can just about fit my 3 litre hydration bladder and 2 x tubes. The handlebar roll is just a sleeping bag and mat. Tent is in the aeropack and the two little panniers have 1 x spare set of kit, bamboo base layer and packable jack...

My bikepacking set-up is constantly evolving as I test what works and what doesn't for me. So this is this year's set-up Bike: 46cm Orro Terra C 46/30 chainset, 11-42 cassette, 105 brifters, Deore rear mech, some aftermarket parts to make it all work 40mm Pirelli Cinturato M gravel tyres on fulcrum ...

After a handlebar harness and dry bag. The harness needs to have spacers. Unfortunately, with the addition of my dropper post,I need to move the handlebar bag away from my bars or it fouls the dropper cable

Selling a few bits of excess bikepacking and camping gear. 15 litre topeak backloader (including waterproof compression sack) £25. Some minor wear (shown in photos) due to rubbing on my wheel. Only selling as it's slightly too large for my bike if I don't pack it correctly. Altura Vortex 5 litre han...

Ok thanks everyone. At least now I've got a few ideas about what & how to pack. I'm looking on ebay and Facebook marketplace for used saddlebags and panniers and racks. There seems to be more saddlebags available so I might go down that route. I have a 15 litre Topeak Backloader saddlebag I'm l...

Neoair xlite ordered

I'm on the hunt for a warm, lightweight sleeping pad that packs small. What does everyone recommend?

To be fair, the title does say 2 season sleeping bag…

That it does, whoops.

My tailfin aeropack arrived this week. Now to sell the 15 litre saddlebag or keep it for a bit, that is the question.

Thanks for the offer, but itblooksnlikenthe 140 is a 1-2 season. After something slightly warmer

As above, I'm after a light-ish weight 3 season sleeping bag (less than a kg if possible) and an inflatable mat.
Looking to upgrade from the basic 2 season bag from mountainwarehouse that I currently have
Thanks
