Re: For Sale: BearPaw Wilderness Designs Lair

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...

Re: Balloon bed - was it just me then??

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!

Re: Chains

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.

Chains

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.

Re: Trip advice needed

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...

Re: Carbon or Titanium Handlebars

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.
