Re: Altering and adding zips to gore tex jackets!
Never done it, but if I was going to try I would study another jacket with some pit zips already installed to see how they've stitched them in. In theory, if you're adding a zip you should have a couple of cm's to play with by the time you've unpicked your other seam.

Re: Lets Pretend ... Dream Kit.
The cuben stuff sack is a good deal larger than necessary - I could easily fit my Moonlight bivvy in there too, except for the slightly awkward non-frame bag friendly shape that would result. The cuben stuff sack may yet pass over the sewing machine to make it small (and lighter :twisted: ).

Re: If fat bikes were cheaper ...
I think they have an application beyond snow. Very rocky terrain, soft upland stuff - both of which we have aplenty around here - are more easily dealt with with added tyre volume. I was impressed by how much quicker I could ride rocky stuff, still with a rigid fork on. It would depend on price, but...

So basically it's cut down 3, 4, 6, 8 or 12 times table, like you used to have at primary school?

Re: Radnor Ring.
I seem to recall there's a brilliant piece of singletrack descent down the side of a firing range somewhere broadly SW of Radnor Forest - haven't ridden that way for many years.

Re: There Ain't a Link on the BBBP Forum Site....
No, there isn't. There is a way of doing it though - it's a bit of a hack if I recall, which I used on a local cycling club forum I ran for a short while.

No goats, but I did pass customs without any charges, which I'm particularly pleased about.

Re: Yeti Passion one ... Silly light sleeping bag.
In short, no I wouldn't spend that much on a bag that only had 100g of down in it. I had to think very careful before buying the PHD bag, which has more use over a greater proportion of the year. That makes it better value and worth the extra weight, imo.

Re: What sleeping bag have you used this summer?
PHD Minim. It's ace, keeps me warm and weighs chuff all. I'll likely use it well into the autumn too as I can boost it with a PHD Ultra vest. Should be OK to at least freezing with those two.
