Re: Salsa Warroad owners….

It’s the same Vittoria tyres I cocked up with in 38c flavour. I did try and fit my 650b wheels in the frame with 47c teravail Rutland on velocity blunt ss rims but something v weird was going on. Sounded like the cranks were being compressed into the bb and was scraping.

Warbird owner( love it its a keeper- but so wish it took a rack every now and then) but use 35 mm for commuting 25 mm for road and 44mm for gravel ( evennwith that it would be questionable if the mud was sticking to the tyre...

Re: Salsa Warroad owners….

I’ve not ridden it properly yet but the geometry just feels so *right* - a real “in the bike” rather than “on the bike” feeling.

Re: Salsa Warroad owners….

Yeah, I took a bit of a punt from measurements. The back is fine with about 3mm clearance. Bit daft of me. I’ll check out the gravel kings.

Salsa Warroad owners….

So after seeing these in the bargain alert thread I took the plunge with the intention of running as a 700c all road bike. I’ve just bought a set of Vittoria 38c tyres that come up about 40c on my stans CB7 rims and there is about 1mm clearance on the fork max. Does anyone have any recommendations f...

Ritchey Outback v2 breakaway frame medium

After much deliberation about bike rationalisation I’ve decided that this one has to go. It’s a wonderful frame and the breakaway feature is great but with 2 young children and other bikes that can cover gravel it’s got to go. It’s currently built up in a 1 x GRX 810 setup. I’ll likely re-use the bu...

Can’t help you with a quilt but Absolute Snow have a hammock specific pad for sale at present with a big discount. Can’t remember what brand but it’s something like £110 down from £180

Re: Sleeping mat recommendations please

Thanks Lazarus what are the packed dimensions?

If you could also let me know exact weight please I could well be interested.

Otherwise exped ultra 5 looks like the best all round option as I also use a quilt sometimes.

Thanks for the input all.

Sleeping mat recommendations please

Hi everyone.

I’m looking for a mat circa £125 for summer camping with my family but also that will cover 3 season bikepacking and pack as small as possible.

There are so many options available I thought this was the place to ask. So any recommendations appreciated!

Cheers

Great jacket but I’m too fat for it these days.

I’ve worn it a fair bit but it is still in very good condition. A few loose threads on the stitching and bobbles to the cuffs but no holes / tears etc. pics readily available to send.

Re: An interesting read...

Thanks I enjoyed that. Although at 43 and 23 years of sitting at a desk for half the day I appreciate front suspension AND big tyres at low pressures at the end of a long ride.
