And Trekker tent extended my cuben fibre tarp for be more hammock friendly.
So the DD will be used in poor weather and the cuben thinner one when the weather's fairer.
Can't wait to get out in the hammock again soon, it's given my BAM a fresh outlook.

Great to deal with and top quality

Today's delivery was a Borah gear bivi bag and a custom Cumulus 150 quilt

and despite ordering them about a week apart, having different lead times and one coming from the US with a stopover in customs and the other coming from Poland they managed to arrive on the same day, as if they knew they'd be together from now on

I bought, on a whim, a soshine tc12 usb rechargeable torch from Torchythebatteryboy.
It came with a slightly sub standard bar mount and a super duper battery that burns for 4hrs on full power.
Beam pattern is surprisingly effective.
I have been using it on and offroad and I'm very happy with it.
Might have find a better bar mount though.

A pair of Spesh Fast Track Control in 650 x 2.0 for my Vaya, so I can change between them and the WTB Byways.
At £7 an end, it would be rude not too..
This, I fear, is the final nail in the Fargo's coffin, as the Vaya will now do everything it does.

Not the Postie but the LBS.
Someone forgot the post mount adaptor when ordering bits for a build

the front brake might fit now. Also a longer stem for the same build

What size rims do they need? I have a spare pair of 27.5 wheels with 50mm rims, do you think they might work?

I reckon pulling a 47c tyre on to a 50mm rim is a big ask, I'd hate to think what the profile would look like. Might be better with these Steve - a nice 2.8" gravel tyre.

Cheers stu, they might be just the ticket. To be honest I’d rather sell them and get another pair of 29” wheels and some road based tyres... but no one fancies my wheels and I could make use of them this way.

There's a table on this page
http://engineerstalk.mavic.com/en/the-r ... rim-width/ which shows which rim widths will work with which tyre widths - it goes up to roughly 2.5"

Not a chance. Keep the hubs, buy new rims and spokes.

On a Saturday!!!
The spokes. Bivvy tonight, so wheel building might be a Sunday afternoon distraction.

Brought me this tyre

As soon aa I lifted it (1.45kg) I had thoughts that I should send it straight. At least I should hopefully never get a puncture up front!!
