Thanks folks.
As I suspected, nice to have confirmation.
I'll have local eye hospital on standby......

I'm new to running tubeless. One tyre is fully inflated but the valve is blocked and won't let air in or out. I presume I need to unscrew the valve core and replace. Seeing as it's fully inflated will the core just shoot out as the speed of sound? Is that a problem? Will all of the goo shoot out as ...

Oh bugger.
I find Bike hike really useful. Having the split screen is great.
Will it be resolved? Is there a work around?

I have the PD 200 and 400

I would recommend it. It's good.


The 2 is definitely a summer bag. 400 much warmer and does me in most (non summer) situations.
Last used at Dryfehead bothy last month and lots last year during bivvi a month ( have done 26 months now)

That's great. Many thanks for your replies.

What gloves to you wear to keep fingers warm and toasty?

I'd say the same.
I've been using mine for 2 years now and it's still great.

I'm still up for 12/12 ~ All 9 completed so far, although not all by bike. Some were walks in Lake District

I bought a Kraku and marvelled at its great design and lightness. The problem was it wouldn't work with two types of gas canister ~ Colemans and another by go gas ltd. I rang Alpkit and they said yes there was a problem with Coleman but it should work with the others. Unfortunately mine didn't work ...

A recent thread got me thinking. What's the best way to distribute weight on the bike? Options are a combination of ~ ~ seat rack with or without panniers or Alpkit Koala ~ frame bag ~ 20L pouch on handle bars ~ small backpack Up until now all I've had is backpack and seat rack with panniers. Most w...

I've cycled a few of these routes on my last two bivvy trips. I cycled many of the south eastern roads a couple of weeks ago and I stayed at Kersopehead in early February. I can't report on the state of the track as it was covered in 3 inches of snow ; ) The upstairs room is pretty big and could fit...

3/12 :cool: Up over the Wall ( that's Hadrian's) to Kielder. Around the reservoir then back home the next day. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1560/25392435884_1da6bfcdf6_z.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1447/25396197643_0a52cdd20f_z.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1623/25393281364_69c68aa0fe_...

That looks good

I'm going to make one for myself.
One question ( for the mo)

You use a zip at the top. Could you use a velcro closing instead? Any disadvantages of doing so?

Cheers
