On a very different level of extremity, I've been touring with one of these and they're so comfortable, light and pack down so small I can't see why I'd choose anything else. It takes 2 mins to inflate, which surely isn't that much of a penalty? Never feel the floor through them (even when basically lying on logs/bricks) and get a great night's sleep. Yoga mats/self-inflating mats never give me that level of comfort, which I value over the two mins of inflation... I guess potential problem is they could puncture, but if you have a repair kit there's no massive risk and they seem pretty sturdy...

If it's just double sided velcro on the gastank, I have a bunch spare. Think it might be a little wider than the stock stuff but I'm sure you can manage something with scissors... Can pop some in the post if you want

So, I cut down one of the Karrimor mats and it just about fits between my drops but it still seems bulky as fuck and is likely to mess with my hands unless I can strap it in such a way as to hold it away from the bars. Tempted to chuck the towel in with foam mats and just get an inflatable one or leave it out altogether but maybe with a little more trimming and on the other bike it might actually fit ok?
Tried a Revelate framebag which I didn't like as it interfered with my legs. Looks like I'll stick with the smaller Deuter framebag.
Got a Revelate Gas Tank top tube bag and it's pretty big compared to my others but why don't they give enough velcro to actually go around the head tube properly?! They clearly don't expect people with slammed stems and no excess steerer. I'll probably move the velcro up to the top position and it should hook around the bit of steerer I have sitting proud.
