Just putting this out there in case anybody wants one. I have a Thule Ride ON 3 bike rack. I bought it used about 2 1/2 years ago but i never used it (always managed with bike in the car!) It used but not abused and would be good for those multi bike trips... Welcome to come view . Based in Keighley...

For sale, DD Travel hammock. Bought as new from a family member and Used once for trial and realised it's not for me... :sad: In coyote brown (2 x 2m shock cord is missing) I'm open to reasonable offers (new £49 from DD at the moment)..collection possible and i reckon postage approx £7-8 (Based in W...

I'd been looking at the ECR forks also Just remember the ECR fork has a bigger offset than the majority of 'normal' 29er forks. However, TheBrownDog seems to be doing okay with his. Yes i realised after checking again, they have more offset. Thanks for the heads up. Budget approval obtained :lol: ,...

Thanks for all the advice. I'd been looking at the ECR forks also. Triton seem to do the full selection!

I need some advice ref rigid forks. At the moment i have a normal 26" wheeled Kinesis mountain bike. For some time i've run an On-one rigid fork which i prefer but i realised it's not quite the correct length (nose down and reduced crank clearance). I think the a to c is about 400 mm. I'm looki...

I may be interested with in the cranks. What length are they ?

I'll take the midge bars if I can. Need posting if poss. Let me know payment details. Cheers.

Agree with YetiTony...by the end 1x9 was a knee breaker! Had a great time, great riding, learnt a lot for next time (get that dam rucksack of me back and watch the mileage!!) Only managed to get lost 3 or 4 times..! Winning the Monkey cage/pack was an added bonus... Met some really good people. Yeti...

Thanks Chew. I was struggling a little to work out how to plot a route but from the files Stuart sent, i can see how now...Looking at it now!!

Cool Stuart, just the thing...feeling the calmness again! :)

Ok...it's good to know i'm not the only one struggling! About to spend another lunch hour looking at routes but if any body can share a route for the WRT lite, it would help (40 - 60 miles ish)... I managed to get all the points in Google maps and getamap...but plotting the route is proving more dif...

Thanks jameso...sent a PM

Rigid fork for 26" wheel bike. Need to be ok for 100 mm corrected sus fork (440-5 mm if i remember correctly?) Currently have On-One steel fork but they take the front too low..

Steel or Alu (i think the carbons may be a little too expensive!). As ever budget is a restricted! :D

My son and I did an overnight camp on Wed in the Dales (i must say it's my first camp out for a lot of years :oops: ). Was a cold night ( 0° to -1 °C approx) but i had one specific problem i wondered if anybody else has? I normally sleep on my side, so i zipped up my sleeping bag (Nanok -5 comfort s...

Looks a good shelter...very usable...i'd have bought it too!! :D

My bad. I had an e-mail from Alpkit saying they will refund. Not for sale.

Alpkit Delta tent in Kelp. I took a chance and bought this last week. After a few test pitches and 1 overnight(last night), i realised i want something with a more usable inner. I need something more of an all rounder. It sets up well as per Stuarts post, but is just not for me... The spec is well k...

A bit late but... 13 Alpkit Airlok extra drybag (in kelp) 25 l Gourdon pack - (in Kelp) Alpkit Delta Tent (guess the colour!)...excellent quality and light. Bit of a faff for me i think..will try a night out over weekend (back garden only!) If not for me, keep an eye on the classifieds!! :D 10x Cand...

I have both a Bell and Giro helmet...The Bell is a far better fit for me...suits a fat wide head (62 cm)!

The Giro presses a little at the side of the temples...not unbearable unless riding hard.

The Bell was the Sweep road model. No peak....

Thanks to Stuart, i'm now sorted for the bag.

Also some good advice and blogs on the forum, also mean i've taken the plunge and given Alpkit my other money!! (Alpkit Delta, 13 l Extra dry bag, Gourdon 25l pack)

Just the mug now!! Also thanks for excellent website for the cheap try-out tarp!! Tnx

s8tannorm - Cheers, I'll take you up on the offer of the sleeping bag...How do you want paying ? Also the pot looks right up my street! :D

Gari - Thanks for the offer....

Thanks to the advice i've had from you guys, i have an idea of the gear i need. I've entered the WRT lite and would like a couple of test runs before. (And as a Yorkshire man i'm tight and also like to buy used first if possible!) So i'm after: Tent - 1/2 man - Zephyros or similar (or Tarptent?) Dry...

This might help....(i just ordered a cheap jacket based on these sizes!)

Blackhound - thanks for link. Just had a quick look but will read fully tonight. Cheekymonkey. I wanted to do a few trips last year but lots of reasons not to got in the way. I will defineately do some when the warmer weather comes. That's some good advice about local...there's some good location ne...

Thanks Gairy...i posted my reply before i read your post, That's really useful info/feedback on the Snugpak. On paper they look good value, and of course you never know what they're like in action until you've bought them. I'd thought that the bag in the pack...as you say it's light... I know when i...
