i got one of the karrimor x-lite mats from field and trek for £30 and it's comfortable, cheap and only weighs 300g.
i can't comment on it's R rating as i used it in pretty warm weather but i don't see how it'd be much different to a Neoair (and it's a crap-load cheaper!).
worth a look.

Re: 'Low carb' diet
we use chestnut flour - it's got a really nice taste.
not sure about sourcing it in the UK but it's worth investigating.

Re: Bargain Alert Thread
Being a sweaty beast though I've never rated it as a baselayer when doing anything energetic - just gets sodden and cold IME. I'm one sweat mother f***er and love merino as a base-layer - weird! Maybe it's something to do with how much heat a person generates (or some other unknown factor) which de...

Re: Holiday on Tour Divide route 2013
This sounds like a hell of a trip!
Would love to join you, though there's no way I can swing it, and so I just thought that I'd vocalise my envy.
Will look forward to reading all about it.

Re: Horse gets in way of cycling.
Funny, I was planning on heading out for a gentle tootle this morning but my plans were scuppered by a ewe of ours having twins and needing to be re-housed in the downstairs bathroom.
Maybe the animals have their reasons to want us off the bikes today....?

Re: FS: DT Swiss/ Stan's 355 29er rear wheel
ok, you've got yourself a deal!
how about the whole posting to France issue???
maybe let me know the extra and I'll add it on or I can pay the £75 now and then the extra afterwards if you'd rather it was all paid for upfront.
let me know how you want to do it.....
cheers, gairy.

Rob/all, I can get a dynamo hub fairly cheap and yet for the lights I'm looking at £200 for the Revos which is a bit out of my price range. Is there something about the Revo that makes it significantly better than it's competition? What are there alternatives? Why choose one over the other? Sorry if...
