  I don’t remember seeing finger plates below a door handle before. For kids maybe?

  My phrasing wasn’t very clear. I mean the older models were manufactured from a heavyweight cordura, today they are labelled as made in China and the material feels a lot less sturdy. Perhaps they were made in china forever but I guess probably not.

  Just came across this very awesome thread and surprised not to see berghaus munro mentioned by anyone. Unless maybe I missed it. Classic top loading alpine sack. I use it for trips of a few days to several months. I’ve removed the metal frame so I can easily roll it up. Mine’s been in heavy use for around 20 years and doesn’t care at all. You can buy them new from china (pictured) but the fabric on the old ones is much sturdier so look on eBay for used / dead stock in nice colours. No big logos or writing or weird pockets and mesh. I remove the bungee and ice axe clips from mine also.

  Thanks I tried my Blackburn air stick with a schraeder-presta adapter and it was terrible so I’ll just get a mini schraeder pump of some sort, it’ll come in handy

  Anyone figured out a neat solution to inflate tiny wheels?

  I have a woom 1 with 12 inchers and an sks track pump with a head that can’t fit in there

  Please save me from scrolling 90 degree adapters and tubes endlessly on eBay and wondering which might work

  I read, ‘You want sawtooth?’ and was desperately hoping for, ‘You can’t handle sawtooth!’

  Off topic but does anyone know if there are any RC glider / airplane people on the forum? I have inherited a bunch of wings and electronics and things that I want to give away.

  To help with searching those are called cam straps not ratchet straps … quite easy to get hold of on eBay. I bought a few to fix things to a pizza rack.
