Re: Sleeping bag maths
I did a bit of thinking about this, and I'm not certain that the science holds, but how about...? We have a two duvets, 4.5 and 9 TOG rated. These can be poppered together to give a duvet with a rating of 13.5. If this is a valid way of working such things out, then if we can work out some way to co...

If this thread was a cunningly disguised ploy to drive up sales of Tyvek and Permavent, then it's working! Mine arrived today, with an unexpected bonus in the parcel... Cheers Stu!

Making a Numo mat less cold
Warmer might be stretching things a bit... So, I have an Alpkit Numo mat, which whilst light and small when packed, probably isn't the most insulating mat ever.

Re: Advice on chairing for 1×11
11 speed chain should work. The spacing between the inner plates is the same as regular 3/32" chain, it's the outer plates that are slimmed down to give the chain a narrower overall width. Downside to that chainring is it's not narrow/wide, so you'll probably want to give some thought to other ...
