Bikepacker - leaving your mug on the outside of luggage to collect sheep sub standard Tourer - leaves mug inside luggage :wink: Think it boils down to mentality for bikepacking rather than being defined by types of luggage/length of trip/bicycle etc etc Weird example and on a tangent but I trained f...

Not out yet and you’ve not mentioned a budget, but something like this?

Pitch forks at the ready

Might be worth sorucing a trek marlin frame in xs (this fits 650b as the other sizes are 29er).

Decent frames, should be plenty of them knocking about as they’re popular. Can also take a normal rear rack so that may be helpful to carry stuff in a longer ride

Those light weight chairs (copies) are on offer. £21 but has a 20% voucher if you tick a box https://www.amazon.co.uk/TREKOLOGY-Lightweight-Portable-YIZI-N1/dp/B0CRKQLXBX/ref=pb_pd_lutyp_ci_mcx_mr_typ_d_m_sccl_2/261-8572065-7242164?pd_rd_w=KyNIn&content-id=amzn1.sym.02977fde-3584-43cc-a440-78187...

Sean Yates ? I know Simon Yates - the rope cutter :lol: (Touching the Void made him "famous"). But Sean Yates? Before I look him up myself, ask a chatbot search engine, I'd prefer a Bearboner explain him to me... please? Thanks :YMHUG: I'm not surprised the Marin hoody threw you, it's &qu...

I did think that just before I posed (only because of the ear ring) but the Marin hoody completely threw me. Was initially thinking one of the repack lads from back in the day (again, due to the hoody) :oops: I'm not surprised the Marin hoody threw you, it's "Made in" !!! :lol: :wink: Tim...

Ermmm, don’t want to be that guy but I’m not great with faces nor names… :oops: Sean Yates I did think that just before I posed (only because of the ear ring) but the Marin hoody completely threw me.

Just ordered a pinion Broken Road with a Gates belt drive. Hoping it's ready for the WRT. Nice :-bd - - - Saw a Honda NSX today out on the roads, don’t see many of those about. Also, got a free pass on Sunday - so just trying to work out either a mountain day walking or heading to Anglesey beach cr...

Also tried the Altura rest bag but it’s just in the smaller side to what I need

Thanks for those suggestions. Maybe the idea of three mounts on the rear isn’t as good as I’m thinking it to be Is it not more metal bits to break Simon? I'm not getting stuff like that - looks a right faff to unstrap those bags - I'd just use a set of Ortleib front panniers on a normal rack That’s...

Is there anything similar to this

But cheaper?

ie rear rack but have three bolt mounting to take fork bags etc

Just partaken of a pleasant luncheon. Chatted with my pal at the Council about how he's going to spend the £1m we managed to wangle for new cycleways and footpaths around the town, so that was nice. Hope you put that on the expense account :wink: He bought me a pint :smile: . Seems a good deal on h...

Interesting bar from Cannondale Interesting because the crossbar stiffens it makes it less comfy while also being too thin for mounting things to? : ) I suppose it'd be useful for stabilising a bar bag strap. And £15 is a good price. Interesting because I wasn’t sure what style to call it :lol:
