Re: 29" gravelly tyre.

Might be worth a did through planet x as they have lots of vittoria (used to be gear x) xc tyres in the 1.9 to 2.1 range going for £8 to £13, so could try a few different tread patterns

Re: Bamboo feedback.

I would say the xl has come up a touch snug (more baselayer fit than tshirt) but other that that its been great and washes well, so would buy again. Would long sleve or womens cut ones possibly be on the cards for the next batch?

Quilts

Sorry I know this topic comes up alot but im looking for some specific feedback on the Rab neutrino quilt. How does it compare to the cumulus offerings and how long is it as im 186cm and I know for the cumulus id have to go custom for length but im not sure on the length of the rab.

Cheers

Long seatposts

Hi, Does anyone know where you can get long seat posts? I've got a large calibre dune but at 6'2" it feels more like a bmx size wise, it fits fine to peddle when I use the reverb dropper but the 410mm static post is too short for me when bike packing. Can anyone suggest where I can find a non d...
