Paul I'll take the stem cells if still available... cheers

Can anyone help please... I'm eyeing up some shimano spd shoes on chain reaction and they give a size chart where a euro 45 is equivalent to a UK size 9.5. I've got some Inov8 shoes that fit me like a glove and are size 45 but they show UK equivalent is a 10.5. Am I missing something.... a whole sho...

Thanks for that... you're probably right

Hi folks,
Going on hols soon and plan to take my knock off gopro for some outdoors stuff. Does anyone know of a good easy to use android app for editing some footage?
Thanks

I have one I don't use. Can you PM me your email address and I'll tell you more? ! ☺

There's one with a bear paw inner for sale on outdoors magic just now if your interested (I'm not the seller!)

Garmin dakota 20 is £112 on Amazon just now. I bought one a couple of weeks ago when it was £116!
Also got the ioffer 50k maps for about £20... so far so good.

Reading the above i think I need to get screen protectors!

No worries Stuart... I'm kinda inbetween sizes so find it hard getting gear that's a good fit. Troos in particular have always been a problem.

Yeah I think they're Japanese aren't they? That's why I wondered if the sizing might be a bit odd!

Cheers guys, my in laws live in the US so I'd get them to bring over when they visit later in the year.

Anyone know what montbell 'pant' sizing is like? Accordingly to their charts I'd be a large but I'm wondering if they are perhaps the generous side with their sizes? Ordering from US so want to get it right!
Thanks

Not sure if it's relavant for the whole of the UK, but here in Scotland if I can I'd always steer clear of clumps of ferns like that as you usually find they're home to a lot of ticks.

Finding a decent pitch can be difficult especially if you've had a long day in the saddle and are knackered.

Been through my kit and got a few surplus bits and bobs...prices includes (cheapest) postage within UK. Anyone interested? Luxe mini peak 2 inner tent. The original inner for the original tent, hardly used. These days I just use the outer with a bivy bag or my own larger myog inner. £25 Montane Batp...

Sorry meant ripstop nylon...

I'm the same as you Haywire. I'd backpacked/hiked for years but was starting to suffer a lot from joint pain on steeper climbs. I then discovered bikepacking and the ability to go much further on off-road tracks... now I love it and don't really miss the hiking. Ideally I'd like to get out more but ...

Found this on the OM site.. looks like a zip is defo the way to go....

the bulk of the inner walls will be made of a silnylon material with maybe just a section near the top made with noseeum netting for ventilation. The reason for this is I find it really difficult sewing with noseeum (my sewing machine skills are pretty basic). I've found an old tent zip about 2.2m l...

Yeah thanks. Looks like a zip is the best option.

Just started making an myog inner tent and I'm just looking for any alternatives to using a zip for a door. Anyone seen/use anything else?

This is what I use, only 42g but its oversized.

Yeah I've ordered a similar one...

That'd be great Jameso. .. pm 555 at Yahoo dot com.

Haywire..I've sketched a rough plan of what I want to build... I also found some extender arms from an old rack to use for a prototype ..(!) Just waiting on a clamp with rack mounts coming and then I'll dig out the sewing machine!

Dunno how I managed to miss them!

Thanks a lot atk !!

I'm looking to knock up a myog type seatpost support mount (kinda similar idea to the porcelain rocket Mr fusion) and am trying source some of these (or similar ): http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/tubus-staright-bar-240mm-titanium-id61439.html#info They're out if stock and im not having much luck sear...

Thanks all... i'll check if the seams are sealed when I get home. The conditions on Saturday (when i pitched up) were fine. .. sunny with a breeze so I could sit with doors open having some grub. It didn't take long for the dampness to come through the bottom of the bag and when I prodded the ground...

So I was out over the weekend on top if a big hill and found a nice flat area to camp. Up went the Mini Peak and out came the bivy bag. After just an hour of sitting on the bag I could feel damp coming through the bivy from the ground... then by morning after a pretty steady downpour, a lot of water...
