Hi Leadburner. Yes please send over details.
Thanks Substandard, but I’m going with primaloft, for use in wet conditions.

What’s the materials/bag weight Stu?

Hi Stu I thought if anyone would have some going spare it would be you! Thanks I’ve had a change of tack. I’ve just put a wanted post in the classifieds for a primaloft jacket. I’m going to start with something I can wear, but can also convert to a quilt. If you can imagine a roomy hooded gilet, wit...

Hi
Has anyone got a large or extra large primaloft jacket with hood to sell?
Holes, snags, broken zips not a problem as I’ll be canabolising for a sewing project. Could be that jacket lurking in the back of the wardrobe, that could be repaired ?
Thanks

Hi Now that buying anything from mainland Europe comes with a Brexit tax, has anyone found a source for sheet insulation in the uk? I know thinsulate’s available. It’s been around for decades now, but doesn’t appear to be the gear manufacturer’s first choice any more (an efficiency/ cost thing / or ...

Got one!

Hi
Got anything lurking in the back of bike shed?
What you got and how much posted?
Thanks
Rich

If not too late. I’ve found a complete calliper you can have for £5 inc p&p ?

Hi Bobcatmax.

Hi. I’m looking out for a small bike (16 inch frame at most)to get my sister out on lanes and forest tracks.

Retro- V brakes, suspension fork, 26 inch wheels would do the job. Disc brakes & larger wheels also considered!

Anything you got lurking at the back of the shed?!

For short sections over boulders and :shock: up stepped ground this works for me: Standing next to the bike reach over the top tube and grab the down tube just up from the bottom bracket. Lift and You’ll find a balance point. You’re arms straight so you’re not having to lock off and use muscles in y...

Hi Robbie
What’s the capacity of the tiger dry bag?

Thanks both
I’ll start with the Bren project.

I’ve got 2 vintage mtbs (saracan tufftrax and trek 912) that were at some point >20 years ago overshadowed and forgotten when a newer shinier model came along - ooh those v brakes look like a good idea...wow carbon pace 32 suspension forks - I can ride down anything now! They’re now in such a poor c...

Hi restless
I took it off my Kona Explosif 15 years ago. It worked fine then. The return spring feels tight and strong.

If you pay postage you can have it. A small donation to air ambulance would be a nice touch.

Looks like I’ve touched a raw nerve there bringing up the D Valley. Please share your thoughts...

Stu
Would also be interested in knowing what your alternative is. It’s not an area I know too well, but got down there on my first WRT.

Cheers
