Re: Strapping a bicycle to an expensive rubber dinghy

Not been too bike raft curious to date as it's seemed like a right faff but your video is a good illustration John - thanks. You make a strong case for ski straps too :-bd Northwind - like the idea of sandwiching the frame with the wheels - all my rafts are decked so I think the non-drive side/boat ...

Re: Offa's Byke - Prestatyn to Chepstow.

Quite obviously, I should have ridden this by now and it should be firmly in the public domain ... but we all know what happened. Anyway, I've decided I might as well throw it out there now.

Re: What tents do you lot use

I had to reply to that review. It's daft complaining about getting the sleeping bag wet and yet not deploy the additional lifter tie-outs. Not only do they help ventilation in the first place, they also giver more head/toe room. Anyway - condensation is rarely a problem. The very worst I've had was...

Re: Ribble Adventure: Any Real World Reviews or Action Pics?

Just read your Q&A Stu - thanks for that... looks like a really interesting frame and I like the beefy gravel bike potential here... so more offroad than road focus and I'd run it 2x XT with Jones Bars off the old 29er. Not seen their Jones copies before either. That's exactly what I'm thinking...

How come you can't get one to review Stu... do they not send them out easily to anyone (maybe if there are no other review on the web)? I don't really know Mark.

Frame forks look great... like the Ti version and could swap over most of the parts from my older (steep head angled) Ti 29er with maybe a second 650b+ wheel set in the future.
