I've just had an email from Wildcat, offering me the opportunity to invest in them (well Herd Group Holdings, the new parent company) via crowdfunding. I'm oot but, if anybody else is interested, then here is the link... https://www.seedrs.com/the-herd-group/coming-soon?utm_source=Wildcat+Gear+News&...

Holy Thread Resurrection, BatPerson! Sent the bags away for cleaning and had to take my zip anti-snag things off. Took the opportunity to remake them again. As regular sufferers will know, Reg believes that any bikepacking accessory can be made from just cable ties and gaffer tape, in the same way ...

I guess that the size of the cups doesn't matter, as long as everything else use the same cup.
All bets are off, though, when other ingredients are in specific measurements, as these don't scale with the cups.

Having said that, a lot of recipes can be tweaked, to suit preferences

Reason I was looking is my Joystick's doing something a bit weird that it's never done before. Switch it on then reduce intensity from green to orange or red, then after a second or so it flips back to green. Any ideas before I phone them tomorrow? When you change modes the light tells you which mo...

Well, I got round to making some of the OPs recipe, yesterday... Used cashews, because I had some, and raisins, because I like a bit of fruit in my flapjacks. Almost killed my food processor, but added a bit more water just in time to loosen it up sufficiently. The texture is surprisingly rubbery - ...

I understand the benefits of salt intake, but how much does a tablesppon affect the taste? It's a bit difficult to say, I tend to like salty food, but these didn't taste salty, just right. I guess you could try them with less salt and see. Next batch I might well try that. I feel that I'm about to ...

Applying frame protection tape to strategic places of my new gravel bike.
Now hoping to have the opportunity to get out for a spin, at the weekend

I assume that's like 'getting wood' is it?

Stu wins the internet...

I'd consider making the base rounder Duncan. They'll obviously be very stable as are but should the tent decide to fall over, it''ll be more likely to bend / snap as you've set up a stress raiser. Ideally you want the pole to be able to fall over with the shelter rather than try and remain upright ...

. As for Marmite - horrible stuff! Should be placed in a nuclear waste storage facility and left there for eternity

...which will still before the "sell by" date

They are much nicer to ride in than really thick winter gloves, but they look ridiculous. Only used them once this winter, when it was seriously baltic/cold. Hands were toasty, feet were freezing I'd just like to take this opportunity to copyright the concept of "Pedal pogies" I've been g...

I want to add some webbing loops to a couple of cheap hard wearing drybags (lomo ones) so I can use them with my aeroe rack so. The loops need to be there for the straps to go through so the bag doesn't migrate sideways ways. I don't want to sew them on as I want the bags to stay dry. Would fabric ...

Isobaa merino at sport persuit 50% off. No idea on the quality but just picked up a l/s top for 35 quid, about one third of the equivalent Smartwool. I've got three isobaa base layer tops, two thin and one thick and a hoody. They have been really good with none of the delaminating that HH ones suff...

Excellent idea, sir - I may just nick it

On a sort of relate note, I drove to work on Tuesday and got stuck in a line of cars behind a chap riding his bike in the middle of the road.

"middle of the lane", please - don't make the same mistake as substandard motorists...

I've located a couple of candidate bags - just awaiting some dimensions, to confirm suitability - will keep you posted.

That's a bit pricey, and maybe a bit bigger than I had in mind. Will look into it, though - if only to work out what's going on with those straps...

Topeak Barloader? I use mine on the front of a bar roll but also as a separate bag for day rides. I also have an Ortleib one which is smaller but the metal buckle is a bit more faffy. That Topeka barloader falls squarely into the "strap round headtube" category, so doesn't fit the bill, I...

If you have the stack height, try one of these:- https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/accessories/thorn-accessory-bar-t-shaped-55-mm-extension-222-mm-0-deg/ longer ones also. Keeps a bar roll of the head tube and should allow a lioness harness to be strapped to it, rather than the fork crown for a solid fit...
