its a silpoly floor and [ though rarely used to be fair] never had an issue with my floor
Are you getting condensation under your mat rather than water through?

Yes pefect sense,thanks, i was not thinking about the impact of turning just rubbing


I went for some inner tube underneath electrical tape for my carbon forks

Why do you think fork crowns are more robust than headtubes ?( Won't it depend on what they are made off ? )
If it abrades it will abrade either surely?

7 rh and 8 th then 21 22 etc ( have kids the other weekend .
Should be in sync with ledburner weekends

Hold on I am an idiot it's the other weeks I can do so 9/10 April
Which will be well in to Ramadan for you . After I assume as I will struggle for time tbh.
How about a weekend we can all do after Ramadan ?

. ramadhan starts for me that week

I knew that as well Doh
Happy to start from yours as the peak District is close in miles but not time .

first weekend in April?

Busy all the others [ though I only get alternative ones off ]

If you are at the Lakes ride we can discuss then

Too short notice for me as well

Think we can all understand that but personally I am just grateful there are some rides straight from my door that are not mud induced hell as any riding is better than no riding

I get moody if I don't ride and that could be called guilt. I have never really tried to ride every day as I just don't have the time ( or the ride would be sub one hour ). Perhaps set yourself a more realistic goal of time or distance ( per week or month )rather than days as there is more flexibili...

It's generally just a sleeping bag but synthetic ones are bigger than down even if they are not that much heavier

Will have a play tonight now I know it's user error

Is this just like you can do tubeless with any pump :lol: You are making me feel inadequate* ( will try again but the bag deffo hits the wheel on full compression of my forks ) . Perhaps I have too much stuff ? I have only tried with winter gear * One set of forks are Reba's but may have not tried i...

Does not work with suspension forks IME can do as you have with rigid

Jones bars* are the solution though I agree ...bit spendy ( you still need spacers or you have no additional hand positions )

* Confuscious ( spell) work ok as well for strapping at a much cheaper price point

Would the Wildcat or Revelate that appear to be the top choices have the same issue please? Not as severe as the alpkit kamga but yes However they do curve ( soft / normal material) as they are not rigid so it's much less ( still need a bat extender thingy IME.) Personally I love the alpkit but the...

Find rock use as hammer, bend pegs decide to get sturdier ones when home but don't as it saves 4 g per peg)

This is my approach to it .
I have mixed v ones and pins i try to get the pins in on hard ground with mixed results

In terms of TLS when bikepacking you are a winner( assuming you have not been carrying them as spare but just pretending to ride - must make hike a bike much easier )

I disagree and i once lived somewhere with a Footpath in both directions outside so accept its a pain [but its the price you pay for living somewhere lovely folk want to be]. Secondly its says divert or extinguish - if you really think Tories, and the landowners who fund them, are just going to alte...

My take on that story is to pick a better wife

I recently bought this ( it's my LBS anyway) and was impressed. It has a lip so it does not drop into steerer ( like hope ones do -though mine are decades old )
Fitted and works fine

At least i will get my money back meanhwile your reputation is in tatters

Surley everyone is returning as its really not obvious its just the filter

I'll see your £15 bargain gents, and raise you a £12.99 one with FREE postage! Just call me The Bargain Hunter :smile: . https://shop.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/o ... 7EALw_wcB I ordered this and they delivered the filters WITHOUT the bottle - which is not what the website says - awaiting a reply from cu...

is debatable Not really ( though we can debate anything even a flat earth) as it's not written to catch us ;we are not using motorised vehicle and it exempts us from it. As.for the war protestors they were clearly sleeping rough( this was why it was applied ) so it was used as intended on who it wa...

Of course our bikes are a vehicle but they are not motorised nor are we attempting to sleep in our vehicle

Still does not apply to us as written and is not intended to apply to us ( presumably walkers also wild camp so lobbied for this exemption )

I've heard this argument before The may try and they may well want to but The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill criminalises trespass for the first time in the UK, making it a criminal offence to live on land in a vehicle, including caravans, without consent See also unlawful encampment ( a...
