I was thinking the same, although i did managed to shoehorn a larger drybag one into the harness

Hipflask for me :D

Not tried anything else but my Topeak one is holding up pretty well (hexux II)
http://www.topeak.com/products/Tools/hexus2

Virtually brand new, only on my bike for 1 ride
Knew as soon as I sat on it that it didn't suit my delicate arse
Dark colour £15

Got some really bomber Ortlieb ones - guaranteed for 5yrs
Could probably go lighter, but as used for other duties then need something robust

Im liking my Endura MT500 baggies, Had them a while and my backside still stays dry
Got a delicate arse following an operation so I combine these with some mavic padded shorts which seems to do the job nicely

Monday lunchtime and site still down

Sorry when i was in the Burton branch i didn't see anything to say when it finished

Can be quite a bit of extra bike weight associated with a FS set up sometimes.
I recently rode a mates 26fs round the Pentlands and thought the same

OS Maps Normally £6.99 each at Waterstones but on a 3 for 2 deal

Must resist

Oh I cant resist, have just emailed beth

Typical - Im at work when it gets delivered, and the postie leaves his little red slip Mmmm but what will it be? Is it the Revelate Tangle bag ordered 7 days ago? or Is it the box of parts from CRC from 4 days ago?? Excitiement at the sorting office shows Im collecting the Tangle Bag..... Woo Hoo :D...

Liking the wee frame bags above. Postie just dropped some lovely carbony goodness on the mat
Trying out an exotic seatpost to see if I can get a bit more comfort (must have a delicate backside )

Been looking at the wildcat stuff recently but couldn't make up my mind between different makes.
Also saw some backpacker polish stuff

Has anyone got experience how these different ones work on jones j-bars?
Cheers

Trail reclamation for me this weekend.
Forestry commission trashed some favourite trails do thought I would try and get returned!
Seriously trashed and brashed as they have been thinning the forest.
Not so much Trail Pixie more like Trail Fixie

So much more to do, softly softly catchy monkey ;o)

I use Jones H bars and don't have any problems. I find the position very comfy as i got problems in my wrist and no probs with brake position, these go on the 'horns'. Usually i run SS, but when I have the Alfine fitted the shifter fits very neatly next to the cork grips I have. Would love to have s...

Reporting back after my trial today. The upshot is pretty inconclusive Tried the ebb in the upper half has made little difference to the way the bike feels when ridden. I didnt feel any advantage over having higher pedals avoiding pedal strike And I didn't feel any real difference with lower centre ...

Never really thought about this before, I always set the EBB on my Swift to the lower half. The reasoning behind this was to give the BB maximum clearance when in XC mode. There are a couple of large steps on the Chase where I've bent a chainring, but this was on my other bike (a 26er) theoretically...

Cannock sunny craic with mates :)

Working dandy at the weekend too. 8-)
