Funn Full-On bars are only £16 at CRC. Some wide options available. I've now bought 2 pairs of 750mm, which would be rude not to

Re: The post man's been ...
Thanks Paul ^ that might be borderline OK although, true, getting them isn't easy. Marys are 640 which isn't borderline.
But also, the postman's been - Funn Full-On bars (750 wide), which are a complete steal at £20 from CRC

Re: Sleeper train prices
Have you looked at splitting the journey? Sleeper to Edinburgh. Then Edinburgh to Aviemore, which sometimes has singles for about £11 if one specifies the travel time

Not the postman, but Asda. The festival/camping gear is in-store. Picked up a few random bits because they were there and were very cheap. Basic but good value and serviceable bits: - £1 plastic, folding 500ml water bottle (ya know, with the carabiner on the side). - £4 pack of 2ltr, 4ltr and 8ltr d...

another MYOG cheapo Anything Cage
Came across a Bell expandable bottle cage in Asda for only £2.30. Figured it was worth a punt at that price to see if it could be modded into something like a Salsa Anything Cage. The metal frame is very rigid, the plastic is fairly flexible, with most of the work being done by the straps. Has anyon...

Re: 2013 Solstice 150 Mile Lightweight Raid, June 22/23.
Is this still on? Interested, just got to work out if a train from Edinburgh to the start is possible. Would stay the second night near Holy Island and then cycle home.
PS I'm not a mental. Been lurking on here since the start, over from STW, but only recently joined once I've started buying gear

[ Is the Storm the pertex one? I saw them cheap somewhere but then read a couple of bad reviews. Admittedly they were from about 2006 and the product is probably totally different now.

PU doesn't dry as quickly either. What am I looking for here? SIltarp? They seem a lot rather than slightly more expensive. I...
