Before moving over to the Tailfin bar bag, I used a handlebar extender bought off Amazon for about £10. I mounted it below my handlebars and it just pushed the bag up and off my front wheel.

I have a15" giant atx 27.5 frame if that's suitable? What width wheels would this take pls Rivers. Only cos the 650b wheels I have saved to go on his bike as about 40mm wide. Don’t want to be having to go find more rims to build for it. Thanks, and any pics would be great (as well as price, po...

I've got a vango trek pro 3 compact sleeping mat going spare, and possibly a few other bits if you're interested. It's not the lightest, but pretty comfy.

My son is after a blue sleeping pad/mat to match his pillow (he's 3). So I said I would look for one. So does anyone have a blue sleeping mat/pad with an R value of at least 4 kicking about they no longer use? I'm not worried about self-inflating vs inflatable and I'm not too worried about weight. A...

I've used several pirelli tyres and never had an issue tbh.

Pirelli Cinturato Ms are my go to gravel tyre. I've been running them for 3 years without issue and barely look worn. Good for everything but the thickest of mud as well. And roll pretty well on the road as well.

I enjoy Keep Smiling Adventures and Juliett Elliot's channel, and tend to watch most of their videos. I enjoy when GCN and GMBN do their bikepacking videos as well.
I occasionally watch Path Less Pedalled and Cycling 366.

I've responded- someone else has taken the Vango already. I was just coming on to update and say it had sold, when you're message came through. OEX is still available though

All yours will send a PM shortly

I will shortly have a new sleeping bag on the way,so I have a few of my old one's for sale. Selling a few bits: Vango trek pro 3 compact £20- maybe 10 nights use. Originally bought it when I started taking my son bikepacking so we were on the same mat. Now that he's older, I'm back to using my therm...

Hey Shaf,
Do you have any pics available? It looks like my refund has been approved so should be with me by Wednesday. Email is kryohed1@gmail.com
Thanks

Thanks Shaf- to be honest, the only sleeping I own that isn't too long for me is a youth -6 degree bag I bought about 15 years ago. It's an absolutely brilliant bag (and warm), but it's synthetic and does not pack down small. Max height is 5'3" and I'm 5'2", so it really is a good size. Al...

Shaf, if you still have this in a few weeks time, I may well be up for taking it off your hands. Just need my US tax return to come in...

Can anyone recommend a 3/4 season down sleeping, up to about £300? If/when my US tax return arrives (who knows whats going to happen now that Musk has taken ovwr the US treasury. I may or may not get the child tax credit im owed), I'd like to treat myself to something new. Under a kg ideally. There...

Aww excellent! I take my toddler every year. I've kept it local for the past 2 years, but thinking of the Devon C2C this summer. Just need to juggle the logistics of a trailer and train

BTW, the Altura Vortex looks really good (and cheap). It'll be lighter than the LOMO I imagine but I agree that they are tough (LOMO). My first set of bikepacking bags were the original Altura Vortex bags- they were good value for money and well constructed. I would recommend if you need something ...

Mid-day at Tesco- I'll have my toddler in tow and we'll both be on scooters

Where abouts in Nailsea are you?
Can collect tomorrow daytime.

Greenfield Crescent. Furthest I'll be venturing is the Tesco and the park behind it, send me a PM to arrange a time.

Zastrugi 750ml titanium pot, fire maple titanium spork (brand new, never used), small aluminium pot, 2x small bowls and sponge (never used), unbranded stove with built in piezo. 15 for the lot, collection from Nailsea or Brislington or can post at buyer's expense. Photos are here: https://photos.app...

My shiny new Firemaple Petrel G3 pot and stove have arrived. My old Ti pot, stove (not ti), and a new Ti spork (that came with the firemaple, I already have a Ti spork) to be posted for sale later today once I can take some photos.

I've ordered an Old Man Mountain Axle Pack as I want to shift some of the weight from the rear of my bike to the front- not a huge amount, but a couple of kilos. I'm after some fork cages- what does everyone recommend? Ideally, I would like them to not be plastic. I have bags already, so just after ...

What I would have a problem with is if they tried to monetise it. Will my routes ever be used for that? Probably not. That's exactly what Komoot are doing with it! I don't have a problem with Komoot doing it because a) it's in the terms and conditions and I knew that when I signed up to the platfor...

I'm the main route planner amongst my group of friends. It's something I enjoy doing, and seem to be pretty decent at. I create everything from single day road and gravel rides to multi-day bikepacking trips, all UK based. I can spend hours on Komoot creating routes. Usually I look at other routes i...
