Bivvy bag nabbed, cheers. This means I can now go on an adventure with my eldest son. Thanks once again!

I can echo all of the above about the Decathlon jacket, absolute bargain.

Stormsure tape. Waterproof and very very sticky! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Miscellaneous-Stormsure-Tuff-Tape/dp/B00PC6AFJI/ref=asc_df_B00PC6AFJI/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=344340269007&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11900274572336984229&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&...

My Vagabond had a long overdue overhaul today, new bottom bracket, rear derailleur, brake pads, large chainring, wheels serviced, genetic digest bars fitted, new bar tape, and all new cables. Had a mate from work who used to be a bike mechanic help me out, I learnt loads, unsurprisingly. Feels a bit...

I got the handlebar harness recently, and to echo what others have said it seems very sturdy, well made and an absolute bargain. Cheers, Stu.

And delivered an acepac bar harness, cheers Stu! Seems very well made, really should post it in the bargain alert thread!

I generally don't hanker for much these days. Probably because I've become (more) jaded, sceptical and old. I've lerarnt that the grass isn't greener, a new bike won't make me faster or even happier and a shiney bit of bling most likely won't live up to the hype surrounding it and will be a constan...

They look very nice, how much will they be?

Around £35 but I'll possibly bundle them together with one of their lovely drybags.

I’m definitely interested in that, give us a shout when you are sorted, cheers

Do they do a handlebar harness?

Yes and very nice they are to. https://www.acepac.bike/riditkove-brasn ... ess-nylon/

A pair of cheap (16 quid) mini binoculars for watching wildlife, etc. on my off-road excursions. Obviously not as capable as my full-size binos but surprisingly good for the price. Any chance you’ve got a link, really fancy a pair when I’m out. Here you go. There are other brands available on the s...

Bearbonesnorm wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 1:47 pm A reet big box of stuff from AcePac, including their new harnesses, pot bags and tool rolls. Once I've sorted it all out I'll post something in case anyone wants owt before I add it all to the shop.

I have a vagabond with digest bars, and I just double wrap using bar tape from decathlon as it is cheap and because you will hit the bars on a post, tree or doorframe the first time you ride them, they do stick out! Be careful setting them up as they can swing around and whack the top tube if you d...

I'm a great fan of Lizard Skins DSP. It has a sticky/tacky quality that means you find yourself not gripping the bars so tightly. As a result, you get much le ss road buzz. For touring and long distance I have Fizik gel pads under the tape. You’re the second person to recommend lizard skins, a blok...

Hello all, I received a lovely pair of genetic digest bars in the post for my vagabond, excited to see what they are like. But, I haven’t wrapped bars for years and was after any recommendations for good bar tape, I prefer a bit of cushioning. Let me know if you have any favourites, cheers

Some genetic digest bars and an Aussie grit waterproof jacket, no idea if it’s waterproof, but it feels lovely. Cheers for the heads up.

As long as it can handle the brutal winds I get here, then yeah, I reckon so. Whereabouts are you based?

Another fens cyclist! I’d be all over this if I wasn’t skint, looks like a cracking build for someone.

Aussie Grit's Flint waterproof jacket and gilet - at £35 (down from £99) and £12 (down from £44), respectively. Checked out their online sale and couldn't resist that sort of bargain. I haven't tried them out yet but am very impressed by the quality. Looking forward to my AG shorts arriving in a fe...

Cheers, I'll have a look.

Hello all, I'm after any recommendations for 3/4 season synthetic sleeping bags, as light as possible, bit of an oxymoron with synth bags I know. Budget up to about £150. Cheers

Mine came with 2 stainless steel shot "glasses" which I always take.

It may be heresy, but every trip I've been on with my mate Matt has been accompanied with a hip flask full of coffee liqueur. It's become a little tradition for us. Its lovely in the morning under the tarp with a strong coffee as well.

Could I possibly take this?

And delivered a 22g meths stove and tapered windshield, cheers Stu, a nice little dd tarp and a voile strap, all in time for a little trip to the Chilterns. Feels like Christmas.
