Dexterity is okay . They’re pretty clunky, it’s just about possible to open a bar , pork pie etc.

It’s useful to have an independent braking finger whilst retaining mitt like warmth.

I’ve been using something similar to these for properly foul weather. Possibly overkill but as long as it’s raining & you’re output is fairly high they’ve been really good.

I’ve ridden SS exclusively since around 2014 on my Pugsley and Stooge. Like others I’m sold on the simplicity and general cheapness. I managed a blue badge on the BB200 32 x 19 with a combination of pedalling, walking and freewheeling. Interestingly the flexibility in my dodgy right knee improved no...

Mark at MTB Batteries is super friendly & easy to deal with in my experience. I’ve got two of his lights & batteries. All are really good quality & reliable.

I bought one of these for the BB200. Only used it once, flow rate is excellent
& it’s extremely light at 57g

Thanks for the info everyone. I found a Fat Hugger in the garage so I’m going to try & reshape it using hot water or an air gun. Agree they’re a bit spendy for a bit of plastic.

Thanks Mike. I’ll get the FRX model as I think it’s the widest they do.

Can anyone recommend the above
please. I’ve got a a 50mm rim & 3” tyre.

Mudhugger FRX looks good but they say it’ll need modification & seem unsure if it’ll work.

Cheers

Yeah I really like the look of the Montane’s. I’ve got a pair of the ex army ones, they’re warm but bulky & the fit is enormous.

Looking for a pair in medium. Montane Prism or suchlike.

Looking for an inexpensive road or cross bike.

I’m 6 1” & in South Wales

Same here. No issues with gorilla tape.

As above please. MTB or Road. Nothing too flash, I’m 6 1” and in South Wales.

King Cage Universal Support Bolt

A bit pricey but rock solid in my experience.

Bought a pair of these recently, so far so good.

I signed up & got 25% off through the Adidas App.

Smallest size suitable for adding a bottle cage to a 27.2 seat post etc

£10 posted for the pair.

I’ve been using a Rabbit Hole & Chronicle set up tubeless without issue for a number of years.

I’m considering a Bontrager XR4 for the autumn/winter though.

Perhaps a little chilly for the winter but a comforter soundS ideal for the current weather. Phew!

I see Cumulous do a ‘Comforter’. Does anyone have a view on these vs quilts?

Oh, I had no idea. Thanks for the heads up. Back to the Gatewood...

I like the look of the Khufu but it’ll likely work out about twice the price of the Gatewood.

Then again there’s this which looks similar and is just a little more money.

Sure do. Thanks Stuart

I like the look of the Gatewood especially as it’s been confirmed that I’ll fit inside without too many issues.

Combined with a piece of Tyvek & a head net it looks just the job.

Thanks everyone.

Interesting...
Do you think a Gatewood Cape would fit me at 6 1”.

What would you recommend for a bivi with a bug net please?

I've been following the various shelter threads recently but still seem to be going around in circles. I have a Golite SL3 which I like and use from time to time. It's not too heavy relatively speaking except for the pole which weighs about 300g from memory. Appreciate I could get a carbon pole from...
