I have 2, one each side, they seem fine.
The supplied velcro straps are up to the job and being aluminium the whole unit give a sturdy feel.
If I needed another "anything type" cage I wouldn`t hesitate to buy them again.
So all in all, it`s a yes from me!

Better late than never! I intended to watch this weeks ago.
A really good way to spend a wet morning, highly recommended.
I`ve been feeling a little flat lately but this vid helps greatly to get me out of the door.

Anybody got a medium they want to trade, otherwise its going back....

Excuse me for stating the obvious, but if size large is a little tight, then surely medium is not the answer?

I think that weekend Mountain Warehouse is NOT having a 70% off sale!

Just got back from cycling Patagonia, due to the conditions and duration bike packing would have been miserable so I toured it. Dry weight was 40kg. Due to 4 days in a desert with no water and food stops it maxed out at 57kg, the hike/bike parts were miserable at best... That sounds like quite an a...

Some interesting bars there Bob and it obviously proves that comfort is in the hand of the beholder. Given the differences between what manufacturers believe makes a comfy bar, perhaps it also proves that in reality, comfort is actually secondary and the number 1 priority isn't comfort but maximum ...

It's not too clear whats happening imho Subtotal $299.00 USD Shipping 0 Taxes $74.75 USD Total USD $373.75 USD I assume that import duty , and VAT and customs handlng fee would be added to this?

I can lift my loaded bike over a gate early on when having a long loaded ride but once I start to get knackered it`s a different story!
The last BB200 I did I needed help ! (Thanks Mac)

It's great to see the early signs of spring!
I know this would be so much better with a photo but up the road from me there is a big house that every year has flowering Daffodils out on or before Christmas day!

Nothng wrong with a soapy sponge in hand!

Thanks Bob.

Thanks Sean ,for clarity it is GR: SH851028, West of Llanbrynmair, it is the final bit of the ride and I didn`t want to have to reroute at that stage!

Hi, I was just looking at my route for the winter event, and I noticed I have included a "restricted byway" on the map it says "( not for use by mechanically propelled vehicles)" Does that mean bikes?? Or aimed at keep Motor bikes away?
Thanks.

Thanks for the replies, `m not trying to justify a new frame purchase... honest !

If it`s "Tyvek" type roofing felt ,which I think it is, I use it as roofing felt and always fix it on a roof with writing side up so therefore as a waterproof groundsheet, the writing would be on the underside.
To be honest It probably makes no difference.

Hi, just wondered does anyone have a old aged aluminium frame that still going strong?
I have a frame that's about 10 yo, curious how much life left in it (not treated badly)
I`d be grateful for your thoughts.
