Flat rate £5 p&p I think, so anything over 2 packs and you'll start making savings?

Bigger discount when buying in multiples of 3.

Thanks for the link.

I'm getting one of their gravel suitcases https://7rbags.com/product/gravel-suitcase/ via Shona and Rich https://keeppedalling.co.uk/

Thanks haf, 7rBags in Ukraine make what i'm after, just wondering if there was anyone in UK.

Is there anyone who makes custom welded TPU frame bags in the UK?

If you need to borrow some warmer kit I may be able to lend you something?

We've got a week in the Chamonix area next June on mountain bikes.

The number one goal is to do the TMB. However a bigger loop incorporating that would be even cooler.

Any recommendations on routes would be much appreciated.

Tent please.

I bought a couple of the Northcore bags which seem to tick the needed boxes at £20 each

Thanks all for your input.

I was thinking about him the other day. I've looked for his hooks without success.

I've got numerous Alpkit drybags but I'm after something harder wearing to fix onto my Aeroe rack.

20 litres

Any ideas?

Yep, start where you like.

Thanks Bob, I had a trawl and found this https://bearbonesbikepacking.co.uk/phpB ... php?t=9309

The weather looks reasonable this/next week I might give it a go.

Is there a thread already?

Has it been ridden?

Enjoyed the videos, thanks for posting.
