Fair few people on pinkbike who swear by them, When they tested some apparently never dropped the chain once.

Bikepack.eu make some great kit. I have their frame bag, seat pack and bar bag, oh and a fuel tank. ;) If you can get your head around the slightly confusing web page it's worth persevering! Another thing to consider is when do you need it? If its custom there's going to be a delay..... :cry: They ...

At £110 the Wildcat Leopard's are expensive? Or am I just being a tight ar*e? I like the look of the Revelate Designs products but they don't do bags to fit the full frame? Does anyone have a medium sized 'Tangle' bag from Revelate? If so, what do you fit in there? Got one of those too. Had it for ...

Does anyone have a medium sized 'Tangle' bag from Revelate? If so, what do you fit in there?

Great idea, Just joined the group.

Cheers guys, I like the idea of them anyway. Mainly for the cooking gear and because it won't effect the handling too much. Recommend me some then guys? :D Also, saddle bags and bar mounts for dry bags etc? I'm all new to this and want to try keep the budget as low as possible but don't want to scri...

I like the look of the Alpkit Delta but for both of us, There's not enough room. We're both around 6ft tall and stocky/fat lads, My brother is definitely larger though :D My brother mentioned using a large tarp, with both bikes in the center on their saddle/handle bars used to hold the tarp up. He's...

Both frames are 18 inch hardtails.

My brothers argument was along the lines of, the frame bags would have to be narrow, maybe a little bit wider than the frame, otherwise you'd be catching your knees/feet on the bag whilst peddaling?

Having a debate with my brother and we're trying to work out if a frame bag is actually worth it?

How much can you fit inside a frame bag? What do you guys personally put in your frame bags if you use one?

You try running without moving your shoulders lol It'd probably do more damage than riding.

I would do but I'm not in a position to be able to, I really can't afford to. So frustrating.

I'm more gutted due to the fact that the last time I went to see the consultant, He told me to move my arm to help with the healing. Everything felt fine, pretty much back to normal. No pain what so ever so I was thinking everything was well on the mend and I'd be back to normal soon. And then today...

Bit off topic but today I went back to the hospital regarding my broken collarbone. The incident happened on the 26th of July and it resulted in a double fracture on my left side, So anyway. Today I went back to see the consultant and had another X-Ray, The bones don't seem to be healing properly an...

Cheers, muchly appreciated.

Apart from eBay and here, Is there any other websites to have a look on for used equipment?

Had a look at the Golite Shangri-la 3, Don't think I'm prepared to spend that much and have read a fair few reviews of which people compare both tents and say there's not much in it between the two? Also it doesn't come with the inner nest like the Mini Peak's so would cost more there too? The Sil M...

The only thing is it says (No stock, delayed dispatch) Does this mean if I was to order, they'd put in an order to their supplier and then send it out to me? Or that there is no stock left at all? Can't find this tent for sale elsewhere. Also, Does anyone know of any other tents, at the same kind of...

Cheers for the heads up, I reckon we'll end up getting a different set-up each and see which works best. I like the idea of both but the tent/extra room would definitely be nice seems as we're both fairly big/overweight/fat lads. Another thing, To the people who use tents, what do you do with your b...

How many of you take an iPod/Music player with you on your adventures?

So, Which genres of music do you like most? Bands/DJs etc? Arctic Monkeys do it for me, everytime. Don't think I'll ever get bored of their first album. The new album is very good too. I also like House music. So, Yourselves? Also, do you listen to music whilst out riding? Or whilst out on an overni...

That Mini Peak II looks like the one, Looks very nice.

I doubt we'd both fit into it though, Would need a 4 man for that haha.

Cheers for all the replies guys, muchly appreciated! I like the idea of both types of set-ups and after having a look and a think I'm still not sure which type of set-up to try first >.< Seems as I'll be doing this mainly with my brother, I'm thinking of maybe getting a different set-up each and we ...

What frame bags are recommended? And saddle bags?

I'd always look at buying the right kit for the right price, rather than something cheap which may not help with your first nights out. Buying cheap may end up costing more as you end up buying twice. Secondhand can be a good option as you can get good kit cheap and if you change your mind later yo...

Can you recommend any other bivis around that price?
