Lunar Solo when weather good. I too have added a couple of extra guys but not tested how much they help yet.
Hilleberg Enan ( lightweight Akto )
I also use the Enan with a groundsheet only rather than the full inner, saves weight, gains space, out of midge season only.

Hi Artie
i'm interested in the 2 Alkit drybags, the Ookworks sack and the Tred-lite bag

Hi Scud
You might want to look at the Thermarest Prolite Plus. More robust and comfy than my neoair.
Whether the Pacsize and weight penalty ( 700g ) is an acceptable trade off only you will know

I had both for a while, the Xtherm is a bit less crisp packety than the Xlite.
In the end i sold the Xlite and use a prolite short in the summer,
The Xtherm is really warm in the winter but i still find it a bit perched on top of.

40-50 miles per day., approx 1000m of climbing per day over 7 days, we stopped near Cambridge as thats where my mates from but figure another 2 days to the coast depending on the Route. We tried to do as much off road as possible so a far from straight route

The Chalke Way is one of my faves. First did it about
20 yrs ago following the book. Did it again last summer modifying the route to do as much off road as poss but B&Bd it. Quite fancy it again in 2018 but the full camping

@ scotroutes,
i thought i was the only one stupid enough to do this.....seems not.
check on both the smallest and largest cassette sprockets

The race face turbine cinch cranks have a self extracting crank bolt and so are very easy to get off. I make it a habit to take the cranks off after a wet ride to get all the water out of the the bottom bracket. So changing the chain ring would only be a 10 min job with a bit of practice

I tend to agree, so that's where i'm putting them. I'll report back after the weekend as i might camp on Saturday night.

Just laid the Lunar solo out to have a look at the seams and discovered the flaw in my plan ! The Colin Ibbotson tarp has definate seams. The Lunar solo, although it has the same hexagonal shape when pitched doesn't have physical seams on its side or back. The "seam line" is a notional one...

Looking at the Colin Ibbotson design it's very similar to the Deschutes I think i will add what he terms the Extreme weather kit to my Lunar solo The twin attachment points on the seam with an A guy going to a single peg is an often used configuration ( lots of Hillebergs do this ) I'm not sure i ne...

@ Alpinium i think the main reason SMD fit the 2 mid panel tie out points is to help with headroom and footroom I like the look of what you have done with the extra guys on the seams. I can't decide which position for the extra tie outs will work best now.....mid panel or on the seams. i have just o...

The Wild Country Zepheros 1 would be a good choice

Thanks Stuart, i'll give that a try next time

Hi Mike, I hadn't seam sealed mine from new either and it started to leak after about 30 nights A few months ago i seam sealed it using a 50:50 mix of clear silicone & white spirit. Mix very very well. You don't need much about an egg cup full of mix should be enough. Apply with 1/4" brush ...

The wind really got up last night and it was quite flappy and loud in my Lunar Solo.
I already have a couple of guys attached to the 2 side panel tie outs
I wondered about adding a couple more tie outs and guys to the middle of the 2 rear panels.
Has anyone done this ? and did it help
Cheers

I have a 17" Stumpjumper M4 frame in silvery / titanium colour with black graphics Lots and lots of wear marks and i have modified the cable stops to take full length gear cables. 1.1/8" headtube, std BB, 30.9 seatpost, iso disc mount at rear and also v-brake mounts on the seatstays it wou...

Hi everyone, thanks for all your replies. I've ordered a pair of the Hirzl overgloves Jose mentioned. I'll let you know how i get on. Cheers

Hi, I'm interested, PM sent.

Hi everyone i never seem to get my wet weather / cold weather gloves right but i'm hoping one of you has I often wear a full thin full finger glove such as Endura's singletrack when riding what i want is a glove cover ( as thin / light as possible) than i can put over the top to make them waterproof...

Big fan of my niner forks. Much better than my exotics.

Big fan of my Cumulus 150 quilt. Quilts are good when you may encounter a much warmer night than the minimum temp rating of the bag

Hi , I'd like the my ti pot and the cordillera magazine if they are still available. Cheers.

Hi John As a fellow lunar solo owner i worry about mine when its windy and tend to take something different then i've must confess i've owned lots of tents and most are compromises the difference between 3 and 4 season classifications varies with manufacturers. for most it means less mesh on the inn...

SOLD - Tarptent Scarp 1 almost 5 years old now but only used half a dozen times. ( i almost always use my Lunar solo ) in good condition with no damage or wear It's a "UK spec" one with a flysheet that extends to the ground. This was seal sealed at the factory. The inner is the also "...
