Re: What you done t' your bike today
I think tubeless are just rubberised to be air tight and tubeless are not. I don't think the tyre is structurally significantly different ( though that assumptions a total guess so happy to be corrected) Did about 3000 miles on my commuter ( non tubeless used tubeless ) without issue. I forget how l...

Re: What you done t' your bike today

Re: Bivvy a Month 2024
I find that despite the fact I wake 4 or 5 times a night and sometimes cannot get back to sleep I am never tired the day after.. No idea why the disturbed sleep does not affect meI've found it's the disturbed sleep that does it. Like having a mid-week night shift

Re: Have tarps lost their popularity?
Would not want to, it looks a sub standard choiceYou wouldn't get a tent in there, no matter how small.
Imdeed both options have advatages and disadvatages but pretty sure I will.always find a spot for my tent in the countryside (.as you could bivvy or hammock)

Re: Have tarps lost their popularity?
My opinion is the UK is a bit wet so a tent is a must have and not really much weight penalty over tarp+ bivvy Trekker stealth is 770 g but outer and a bora gets to about 600. Tarps are more versatile but also require more skill so more likely to take if its more about csmping than travelling. I use...
