Is it a genuine waterproof (in so much as anything can be!)?

Viz reporting ground breaking news! Think of the implications for this forum. Stu can stop with the smoke signals soon. ; )

So is an Ardent on a dually worth the weight gain over an arch? Particularly considering loss of mud clearance.

Not so much the postie as my mate's volvo...
Something a bit lighter than my Fargo to make pushing easier on the BB200.

I managed to break one of the mud cover retaining tabs on one of the montane bottles. I drilled a couple of holes and replaced it with small zip ties.

Imagine your breathable material as a fabric with lots of holes in it. Holes too small for a big water drop to go through but small enough to let small steam droplets out. If your bag contains a lot of cold air the steam will condense and the big drops can't escape. In theory it shouldn't matter too...

What kind of low life pedant would report a typo...

Another cracker! :)

I'll bring the Go-Pro in August.

Look like a fair bit of Type-2 going on there!

If the only thing out there is xtr then cycling as a hobby is probably dead to me! I'm not panicking just yet!

Enough to make your mattress nice and frosty!

Cheers. I was idly looking at something in between my Klymit & Xtherm. Palm Oil petite looks a good compromise and is £25.

Going a smidge off topic.....

Would anyone buy a Hyalite AC Peak mat new if it was £35? I seem to recall they were less than reliable.....

At 66g this might be lighter than the surplus inflating dry bag I take with me for my neoair: http://www.facewest.co.uk/Thermarest-NeoAir-Mini-Pump.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=froogle&utm_campaign=facewestFroogle&gclid=CPLD3pWd4r0CFUcTwwodTL8ANA http://www.facewest.co.uk/pp/msr/SS1...

My view of the sunny back garden is metaphorically* blocked by a pile of marking. :(

Not so simple then.

I need my own brand : (

Wouldn't those wheels just squeeze into a regular 29er?

I'll always still take a liner to stop getting the bag dirty. If this means I can use a tiny silk liner for that and insulation from this both combined would appear to be smaller than a fleece liner.

Nevermind YOUR bike, are you firing up the CAD (or scribbling on a fag packet) to design a Ramin 650b+

Apologies to anyone on ukfatbikes while I repeat myself but isn't this just an Element 29er with smaller rims & fatter tyres? Based on my mates short lived element bushings & the difficulty Evans had replacing them I wouldn't be setting off from Banff hoping to reach Antelope Wells on one.

Wowzers! I was discussing logistics with composite last night. Don't think doing it in two days was considered!

I don't disagree rigid is better for beaches as by and large they're flat & soft. I'm not convinced wet sand is significantly more destructive than all other soil types save for it's salt water content. All this is moot however, I don't think Salsa are expecting you to take a Bucksaw out to the ...

Windows 7/8?

Using Win8 here and have just switched over to chrome to view this thread, no issues?

Happy to be of service.

(Can we just make sure that not everyone will be wearing one at WRT.

I wouldn't fancy taking this full susser fat bike anywhere near a sandy beach, once the sand gets in the moving bit's it will just eat it away. Rigid only on sand. I took my full susser on the beach once (there is a certain moisture content level of sand that makes it possible to ride on quite well...
