Count me in for a copy of the gpx too please - dblear @ gmail DOT com As for hosting, the "Public" folder of Dropbox does a good job of that, then just share the links here. As a thought, could we have a sticky for "Readers Rides" or similar? I assume it would be for 2+ day outin...

Fantastic, thanks Ian...nothing like a bit of local knowledge

looks great....Not sure about the "Wild Nights Out" bit, think it would be a "cleaner" design without it....

Thinking of something similar for August Bank Holiday weekend, and (roughly) stitched this together - http://bikehike.co.uk/mapview.php?lnk=https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2499866/brecons.kml It's the bastard-son of Lars' route, plus EWE bits and Ian's comments above... Never ridden this area be...

I'm sure this has been covered before but I can't find it... What do people use for creating gpx's from several existing gpx files (plus a bit of gap filling)? What i'd like to be able to do is load in a bunch of gpx files, then trace over the selected bits, join up some of the gaps and then save th...

Very tempted...but think I'm too tall for it...6'4" with 34" legs...not sure how the On-One frames stack up size-wise

^^^^ What he said!

(or the original)...

I'm interested too....

In the market for my first down bag, probably 2-3 season use...any bargains to be had?

A flatish (500ft elevation according to Strava) 16 mile round trip 2-3 times a week...

My eldest (9) wants to bivvy out (yay!), would people just recommend an adult bivvy bag? Do they even make kids ones??

Also, is it worth buying decent kids sleeping bags or just cinching in an adult bag?

Mostly this would be car/beach camping, but some bikepacking may occur in the future.

Ta!

The neighbour's got my X lite mat.....the fiend!

Hi, would you accept £40 for the bar harness? I can pay with pp gift.

My Alpkit seatpack in Stealth Orange was waiting on the doormat today....plus 100g of acetic acid, all ready for the Elderflowers to get their act together

I seem to recall seeing (somewhere online) clip-on lifters that could be added to a tarp, but now can't find the link. Did I dream it?
If so, what's the best solution to adding tie-off/lifter points to a lifter-less tarp? (other than buy a new tarp!)

Ta!

I currently either have a balloon bed (!) or a ca 20yr old thermarest as my mat options so the 2 up there ^^ looked very appealing. Only really a 3 season bikepacker, but I'm also 6'4", so are either of those 2 more or less suited to those of excessive height? It's really just down to the leng...

Sorry to hijack the thread slightly, but the mat discussion grabbed my interest... I currently either have a balloon bed (!) or a ca 20yr old thermarest as my mat options so the 2 up there ^^ looked very appealing. Only really a 3 season bikepacker, but I'm also 6'4", so are either of those 2 m...

As per the title..the front wheel on my 26" commute/hack bike is on its last legs. Any bargains to be had? (V brake only)

Ta

Fleegle bars, on-one stem and neoprene overshoes from Planet X sale.
Finally can ditch the over-engineered stem from my hardrock commuter.

The 23" frame on this one is tempting (I'm 6'4")...but the rigid fork and 1x9 simplicity of the Ramin appealed.

Oh for simpler times...too much choice!

max 2" tyres...looks more like a "hybrid" to me. (But I'm clueless )

Resurrecting this thread....

Did anyone pick up a Pinnacle Ramin...any good?
Am tempted to try one as my first foray into 29er-land.
