Touring Equipment

ed why move from the Klymit x frame to the V?

Is the x frame not enough?
Need a new mat.

Cause I'm not doing it ultralight, just light.

Because my new touring bike can take a lots more weight in the front without affecting the handling one bit, I can able to get away with a larger/heavier volume.

I loved the X frame because it does exactly what it said on the tin, you sacrificed a bit of comfort, but not enough to deprived you of your sleep.

The only complain I have about my equipment previously is that I would prefer a more comfortable mattress that'll create a larger gap between my body and the ground thus thus keep me warmer without having to buy those expensive ultralight down sleeping bag (sticking to the Snugpak Travelpak 1).

If I'm going to do it ultralight again, I'm gonna go back to that, but with a smaller lighter tent that doesn't required tent pole, which will reduced the pack size in the saddlebag enough to get away with a smaller framebag.

Guessing you mean this one? http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/cinq5-shiftr-thumb-shifter-for-rohloff-hubs-prod32695/

and because I would be mad to spend that much on a shifter, especially as there is no indexing its just a pulley and leaver

Shit!! might as well go for the Alfine 8 with bar end shifter instead.
