DNF ... hasn't yours got the hanging floor / mesh so it's more tarp tent (similar to a Lunar Solo) than a straight tarp? Or am I mis-remembering? yeah the original one was all hanging floors and mesh, and I've dragged that all over the place. I had a second one made pure and simple no options basic...

As per title, never used/pitched its in a gold colour silnylon

Actually preferable to Scottish midges

Since getting the Klymit torso pad, almost every other pad for overnighters seems pointless, the balloon bed is too shiny, sleeping bag slips off as I never camp in a sensible place!

Those dusted cured sausages you get in the Alps, remind me of some great trips, high fat plenty of fuel!

Rub the old boy with a Alum block, for shorts Haglofs Lizards take some beating. A good waxing helps too

Wasn't the stumpjumper ripping off Gary Fisher and the Klunkerz? I own two Specialised a steel Langster and a SWorks Langster frame I'm amassing bits for, both cheap to buy, ordinarily I wouldn't bother giving them my money though!

My NeoAir is feeling unloved as I currently use my Klymit torso pad all the time now

Cooked bacon, cold sausages, avocados , cold sweet potato, protein powder before bed. I have a nightmare as don't eat grains, rice and currently off most processed foods, keep having cravings for maynards Sport Mix :?

Interesting the are making a seat bag shaped Drybag, I need a pattern for a Cuben one I want to make

Yeah 10 speed chain, I recently put a Shimano Yumeya chain on my SS, it had been run in gears, the stretch going single speed was surprising.

Right, Do this what's the largest % reduction on Merlin

How much do you spend on a chain, doing some changes to my Spearfish, and drivetrain is next on the list, a 10 speed chain ranges from £20 - £65, more if I want titanium, which I don't. I'm looking for a good quality and smooth shifting chain, as using Middleburn ceramic coated rings. The DLC coatin...

What size stem do you have? Might be a fleegle in the shed, know I have Mary bars. PM me I prefer wide bars being 6'4", just removed Salsa bars and fitting Thomson setup to the Spearfish.

Yes steripen is good, no not really used mine in the UK, much better filter systems for ultralight setups. But in the UK you can find taps. The issue I had with steripen was the crappy filter that fitted the nalgene, the filter just couldn't get the crap out of the water, but the water was safe to d...

I think I'm going back to the ESI grips, fit and forget.

Do people really like Ergons, I have a pair and I just can't decide, perhaps I just don't spend long enough setting them up?

Anybody ever used one of these

Would you risk it?

Jones won't look right on the bike, it's negative stem and flat.

Rubber tyres are a good choice

Yeah it's a battle between the Thomson bars, I like the fact I can flip the carbon bar and get a 8mm drop, plus its half the price, Spearfish front end is high even with a negative drop them.

@Ian, that's the problem with them! I can't see much advantage over them except the strength and thicker diameter. The MSR carbon core I have I think are 6g each.
