It sounds like you might not have the clearance, but I found a plastic 1 litre bottle in a supermarket that fits snugly into a bottle cage, and it didn't budge with a strap around it:

Cheers, Michael.

I've used rubber lined stainless steel P clips on my Ramin and they haven't budged. As mentioned above, getting the correct size is important, but they're a viable and relatively cheap option. I've used the drop out mounts as a backstop to prevent them moving downwards.

Ditto for the used less than 100km tyre.

I've used one of these for extra bottle capacity on conventional steel tube frames. However, judging by your name you might have too fat tubes too! https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/universal-bottle-cage-mount-black/_/R-p-143406?mc=8339445 https://contents.mediadecathlon.com/p792999/k$a1c4b80e7a4b2aebf...

Thanks for the offer Verena, but as I'm looking for a poncho for my 18 year old son, I think there's zero chance that he'd wear it :grin: We both had significant birthdays this year (50 and 18), so we're marking it by walking the Camino Primitivo in May. I've already got an ultralight poncho that I ...

If anyone has an ultralight silnylon poncho kicking about, get in touch if you want to sell it.

Cheers, Michael.

Very slowly heading in the right direction, and under 100kg for the first time in a long time.

If that's any good it's yours for the cost of posting it.

Thanks for the very generous offer Sean, but I'm looking for a pack with stretch side pockets.

Cheers, Michael.

Something like an Osprey Talon 44 would be perfect...

It's not what I'm looking for in this case Stu, but it's reminded me that I was also looking for a pack for my nephew.

Remind me of your payment details and I'll take it off your hands.

Cheers, Michael.

40ish litre rucsac wanted for 6' 2" broad shouldered lad. Doesn't have to be ultralight, but certainly lightish. Preferably with accessible side pockets to hold water bottles etc, hopefully not a retina-scarring colour and as cheap as possible...

Cheers, Michael.

This post has reminded me to add mine.

As per the title really. If anyone wants one for the Kickstarter price of £58, I can add it to my order. The downside is that I'll need to be paid straightaway, and you'll have to wait a couple of months until they arrive. Once they arrive, I'd prefer if I didn't have to post it, so a meetup / colle...

I wonder if any of the glass plate photographs left behind would still be any good? In the accounts that I've read, the plates that weren't kept were broken to ensure they couldn't be surreptitiously added to the collection. This was to save weight, so a very good example of TLS. I seem to remember...

Went to one of my favourite Lakeland valleys today only to find complete devastation, deforestation and storm damage aplenty. Did nearly 40km pootling about checking some old campsites but the only one in half decent nick had the local bears in residence so I moved on. Rode back to the car a bit di...

Sorted thanks.

If anyone has a medium Acepac Fuel Bag that they're looking to move on, give me a shout.

Cheers, Michael.

I haven't been cycling in Sweden, but I worked there for six months and did a bit of walking and camping. Camping is allowed almost anywhere, and there are lots of shelters with firepits dotted about. It's a very good place to take a hammock too. If a track looks cyclable then you can take a bike th...

Does that work?

There is some nice off road cycling near Frodsham if you're heading that way. I wouldn't call it mountain biking, but I do an enjoyable 15ish mile loop that includes bridleways, towpaths, country lanes, a decent climb and a very enjoyable downhill.
