I'll have a search for how to pitch the tent correctly to stop this happening, if not how rigid is yours?

The SMD poles do tend to bend a fair amount, the Pole-a-bear 10.5mm alloy poles will bend less and the carbon poles don't bend at allI might just take you up on that, I got their carbon pole and when I have a quick set up in the windy garden this afternoon it bent one hell of a lot.

Demand sometimes outstrips stocks but it's a continual process, so if there's a delay it's usually no longer than a week. Poles will be available at the start of the WRT on a 'first up, best dressed' basis.What is the current lead time for Bear Bones poles?

Three Monkii cages from restlessnative of this parish ... thanks fella. Two are going on the carbon Bonty forks from Stu and the third on the underside of the downtube of my Inbred 29er.
Oh and an Exped Schnozzle thing to speed up inflating my Synmat. Works a treat in early testing.

Hummvee light 3/4 shorts (see bargain alert thread) and an SLX 9-speed rear mech to replace the mangled one on the Fargo (after I fell off on arriving at work
). Still waiting on the new hanger.
