Re: An interesting bikerafting route up in the Highlands
Agreed but oddly a football pitch is not an actual standard SIZE and can technically be square (90-120 long and 45 - 90 wide)

Re: FS: Wildcat & Straight Cut Bags + Harnesses
Smaller version is 3-6 and larger version n 5-10litre( could probably get bigger in than 10 l for large but thibk it would run the risk of excess sway if you did ( love mine fwiw but have the larger version and never tried smaller) I think it advises a tapered drybag but, I use theirs, so not 100l%....

Re: Bike Abuse, Am I bad?
That pretty much. Hose it down, in winter at the end, and lube chain.
I would not drive home from an event and then clean my bike ( unless something needed fixing) but I would have cleaned it before the event.

Re: Dave's Bikepack Maps
Ta seems a number of different ways into maps via profile ( or via navigation) but it's just not listed there.
Tried synching with Garmin but made no difference.( tubeless worked first time though)

Re: Trailmech hubs
A more expensive hub will have better freehub bearings seals and we could all ride on single buted spokes etc. Granted I wont be buying king hubs or paying £500 for a carbon rim to save 50 grams but generally more expensive kit is a higher quality ( law of dimishing returns) Even the cheapest of hub...

No I got that, it's just daft cycle hating to say it's not green(er than car use)
The environment will be our generations slavery. Future generations ( we won't wipe us all out but lots of people live near the coast and are in big trouble.) will wonder, rightly, why we did it.

FFS we all exhale CO2 so no animal is neutral BUT a bike is clearly way better than a car ( even at just a single production cost analysis never mind per mile used once maderead a criticism of cycling once, saying it wasn't green because we all eat more food so we have more impact
