Re: Numb feet after riding
Did'nt read every post, but have you or do you have your shoes to tight it has been known. if its already been suggested then serves me right. I only say it as i suffered a good few years ago for some reason i felt i needed to have them super tight.

Re: Might be time for a new tarp
Had the same DD superlight to start with but the dog chewed the corner only last week on a overnighter in the garden :cry: , Anyway after a look around and considering an alternative I ended up just ordering another one. Still have the old one to trim down and make something out of it, maybe a small...

Re: Changing pads whilst out
Local rides consist of 1 tube (tubeless) 2 x C02's, multitool and 2 levers I check my pads every few rides anyway and whip em out and clean up takes seconds to do, but as for multiday rides I'd carry a spare set of pads for sure or replace with a new set before the trip, no real mither to swap out a...

Re: Another frame hunt?
I'm not sure it fits all your requirements, but when I was looking last year, the Brother Big Bro looked good. I bought myself a Brother Big Bro not so long ago feels brilliant to ride lighter than expected tbh takes on the local terrian with ease, which is mainly around the clwydians/llandegla etc...

OEX bush pro tarp
Anyone used or have one they can comment on, reviews look good for the price and the size seems to be spot on for a solo outing. Weight wise coming in around the same as the DD superlight but think it comes without pegs etc. Dog chewed the corner of my DD superlight after a back garden overnighter t...

Re: Veloviewer map - explorer tiles
First I heard of this tile collecting was my first ride on the WRT last year and Richard G was shooting off to collect a tile and i was like WTF is that all about, but seems a great idea to ride new pastures. I've still not committed to Veloveiwer to get going yet tho but may do
