It is a very good idea to carry a tubeless repair kit too.

Weldlite etc do them and they work well, takes a few goes to get it down pat mind.

If you are feeling flush then Dynoplug are bloody brilliant.

September start is very much on my radar.

Fires are great... I am happy to have one if the area is suitable ie there is a safe place for said fire and plenty of fuel available that doesn't involve destroying anything. That said it's pretty rare I can be arsed.... most likely to happen if there is an existing fire spot or on a beach. I've ne...

I'm knackered just reading that Mike.

Well done to the pair of you and a huge well done for continuing solo... some effort.

Never seen one Scot, will have a look.

My wheel guy is currently sunning himself in Crete, what a fool, when mid Wales beckons!

You'll be alright Reg... we'll start fast and speed up.

So it dawned on me last night that this was this coming weekend. Oh 'eck. Found the bike languishing behind the ironing board in the dining room, all very Cluedo, worrying that the ironing board has seen more recent use than the bike. The bike was exactly as I'd left it after the Winter Event, fully...

I'd have binned the Bonty rims at point of sale... but I know they have served you well. Depending on where the hole is you could just put a spot of super glue or similar. The question is is this the start of a general giving up of the rim material. You've put them through a lot and general fatigue ...

Tried contacts 15 years ago... perhaps the best decision I ever made. Freed me up to bike and play hockey etc with no worries. As mentioned above, lots of different brands etc. Strangely enough I like the slightly thicker, stiffer ones that allow slightly less air to the eye. This is because they ar...

I'd say 35 internal would be spot on for a 3'' tyre. I like the transition that the shape gives when cornering, a 50 internal with 3'' tyres is a terrific way to get into a boom or bust situation ever time I tip the bike in... that said I am not talking about riding a laden bike here, for that the g...

I like the idea of this but it looks like the timing isn't going to work out for me.

Keep it going though.... maybe next year.

Erm.... I'm still here, twas just out riding my bike.

I would like it if still available.

No PM came through.

Pop me an email.

If Teetosugar doesn't have it I will.

I'll keep an eye n here to see how it goes.

Cheers

Written on my phone and not read back.... knew someone would be along to point that one out.

Very kind of you not to assume I'm a dickhead.

Just spent the night on my neoair x lite... it was Ok, I'd say on its limit warmth wise. It was -5.

Went up lovely with my little pump too ;-P

Sounds ace Mike.

Duncan... very good.

The world is full of both wonder and woe. If I isolate any one thing in my life or even any one thing I am intending to do in the next hour I can find reasons not to do it, not to have it. The world has become a bewildering place where I have had to protect my sanity by developing my own system of f...

Inflation device at ready... might order up some new batteries, I get the feeling it's going to be popular.

Star on Friday for me.

Mike, the first rule of fight to repair the bike in the carpark club is we don't talk about fight to repair the bike in the carpark!

Looking at this with interest.

Been wanting a pocket tarp and bathtub for months but I reckon it's around £250 to get it here... ouch.

Trekkertent Steath 1.5 is on my radar, I like that it is modular and the weights are good.

But that pocket tarp is calling me.

simply setting the bar higher than low to medium

There's going to be a bar?? Set it where you like, make sure there's cider and gin to cater for my on trend dietary requirements and stuff the route, I'm for getting hammered in a field.

Warming up to this now.

My comments about being none the wiser after reading the blurb were somewhat tongue in cheek. For me taking a step into the unknown is part of the appeal, the fact it causes me a little anxiety and promises to challenge me is a reason to do it rather than a reason not to. That said, I've suggested i...

I have signed up for this year and I'm wildly excited about it.

I actually have no idea what it is or how it works.... off to have a butchers.



Ok, well that didn't take long.... I'm none the wiser.

See you there.

Great place to live.... Congrats

Best I've come across is the Anker one, cheap but good.

I'm a bit bleary eyed at the moment but will try to remember this thread and give feedback later.

On several occasions I set out on a Saturday night and didn't return home until sometime Sunday.... happened twice on a Friday night too.... and once on a Tuesday night.

Not strickly bivis....

Do I get a badge?
