Re: Bikepacking awards, your best bit of kit, ever!

Voile straps would be my nomination
They just work lovely, so many uses strapping things down (or up) and I’ve not manage to break any of the ones I have.

Does it’s job with efficiency and ease :-bd

Could you not pad out the rim with some gorilla tape to tighten the bead?

I’ve got some bombolinis on the front on my hard tail. Roll quite well.

Re: Are Hope brakes hard to bleed?

I’ve bled mine on the fly outside Halfords Aberystwyth on one of the bearbones events
From Memory the bleed nipple came loose due to a branch.
Solved the problem with simple tools :-bd

Re: Any foam roller folks on here?

I used to but stopped as it was too sore (I had a really solid black foam version)
Would go back to it if I could find one more forgiving/softer

Not used them myself, but the lightest One looks light for summer use

Re: Exposure chargers. Fragile?

I had problems with my charger/Joystick. After 2x problems, and sending back and forth both the charger and joystick were replaced. They think my faulty charger caused issues with the light. Although annoying at the time, I’m glad I bought exposure. The customer service was second to none No further...

Like the idea but for me it doesn’t get rid of the need for battery back up.
Would be great if it could.

Steve - when you cut it down, did you have to do any drilling/tapping for the bolts. Also did you trim the bolts too?
