Making a Numo mat less cold
Warmer might be stretching things a bit... So, I have an Alpkit Numo mat, which whilst light and small when packed, probably isn't the most insulating mat ever. I'm thinking about making an all over 'pillowcase' for it, using a space blanket, in an (desperate) effort to make my nights a bit warmer. ...

Re: Bar Tape. And Tyres.
Zipp service course tape is fantastic, but very spendy.
LifeLine Professional Bar Tape With Perforation is a decent budget alternative to Lizard Skins.
I also use PRO (Shimano) gel pads under the tape.

Re: Advice on chairing for 1×11
11 speed chain should work. The spacing between the inner plates is the same as regular 3/32" chain, it's the outer plates that are slimmed down to give the chain a narrower overall width. Downside to that chainring is it's not narrow/wide, so you'll probably want to give some thought to other ...

Is the route skinny bike friendly?
I'm a potential yes. Just need to check how much insulation I can wear/pack/carry.

Also, not sure if it's the angle of the picture or something, but do the drops on that Gryphon look a bit weird? They look like flared drops (like Bearbonesnorm mentioned). They can look pretty odd when shown side on, but this is less of an issue when you're actually riding the bike. I found this b...

Re: Waterproof Shorts Recommendations
I've got both the Madison Zeniths and some from Polaris. The Madisons I've ridden in since the start of the year. Mainly MTB in the Peaks, and some commuting. I've utterly neglected them in terms of washing, reproofing etc. The cut is pretty good, maybe not quite high enough at the back. Breathabili...
