I have the pannier rack version
It's great for switching between frames but is heavy, it slipped once loaded asymmetrically but that could be down to not rechecking the tightness of the bolts
Some failures allegedly on carbon frames, I'm fine with it on my steel and alloy frames

Re: Bargain Alert Thread
Fair enough, but just thought I'd add some balance. I've met Mark and Chipps and they were at neither end of the knobhead>>legend continuum. In my experience one comes across as disengaged and the other definitely occupies one end of that spectrum, he's probably offered to fight as seems his style

I cycled through what was at the time of construction the largest land based windfarm in England today and it wasn't turning nor were all the other wind farms I saw on the skyline Wind isn't reliabl...

The biomass/wood power stations are particularly bad, as I think they rely heavily on imported fuel from North America. One in Cumbria I am aware of from a few years ago was trying to be reliant on their waste and local short rotation coppiced willow, the willow having significant positive side eff...

At 2.4 tonnes per M3 that's a lot of concreteI forget exactly but I'm sure it's something like 8000 tonnes of concrete per base.

Possibly clearing stock and managing cash flow to fund egravel bike stock? It's the mtb's that are on SPJust saw this as well. Wonder if Alpkit are struggling? They did seem to go all in with Sonder, I wonder if they've been caught out by the great bicycle bubble burst?

Re: Anyone own one of these stove/pot setups!?
Old school hexamine solid fuel is quite good and performs well
However it covers the pan in soot (wipe off with a tea bag) and is toxic indoors
The modern solid fuel used by esbit etc doesn't really compare

I was yo-yoing with them on a lot of it, the Dads made some smart decisions on later sections of day one to cut out some of the more "interesting" bits in the woods etc
Good effort and glad to see they did it fund raising for their rugby club
