Re: Bike packing full suspension frame/ bike recommendations
Other than the rims name and a paint job is there a difference between the 2022 and the 2023?There are some killer deals here on aluminium ones

Re: Aeroe rear rack thoughts
Are on about tailfin or aeroe?I could be wrong though?
I have the aeroe pannier rack, the only difference to the spider is the top plate which works with panniers
The failure I am refering to is of carbon frames with aeroe racks fitted

having previously been here other than they were on the Mainland and 7000 years ago we were connected to the Mainland As you were connected to the mainland for 6000 years after the ice sheets retreated it may be a fair assumption that at the time of separation beavers were on the island, how long t...

There seems to be a well organised guerrilla group helping with reintroductions hence beavers being found in places where they haven't been officially reintroducedI'll have to see what happened to the proposal to introduce them here.

I put my seat bag on the top plate of my pannier version. Any robust dry bag will be fine, use long tpu straps to hold it in place.

Re: Aeroe rear rack thoughts
I have the pannier rack version
It's great for switching between frames but is heavy, it slipped once loaded asymmetrically but that could be down to not rechecking the tightness of the bolts
Some failures allegedly on carbon frames, I'm fine with it on my steel and alloy frames

Re: Bargain Alert Thread
Fair enough, but just thought I'd add some balance. I've met Mark and Chipps and they were at neither end of the knobhead>>legend continuum. In my experience one comes across as disengaged and the other definitely occupies one end of that spectrum, he's probably offered to fight as seems his style
