Bit like Tratnik and Big Neil Pollitt, why he bridged then towed the wee man to the line.🤷

These bear a striking resemblance to the Alpkit ones or vice versa.

Only 7l though. I'm thinking Alpkit Gourdon now.

I don't like saddle bags. I don't like the sway when you're out of the saddle , I don't like the crazy packing/unpacking rigmarole. I don't like the incompatibility with dropper posts, I don't like limited space, I don't like the ignominy of trying to swing your leg over your saddle.

Therefore I want to be a bag on rack guy. I've tried a couple of different sizes of dry bag and they've been okay but I think I want a 25l slim waterproof rucksack instead. Something that will hold its form when strapped down to a rack.

Is the answer always Ortlieb?

Apologies if this has been covered. But any recommendations for pegs that don't fold like a damp straw that aren't daft money?

Is it possible to get songs from Spotify onto an old iPod? If so how?

Eyeshades are apparently the only sunglasses still lifetime warrantied...

Interesting 🤔 mine are doing the very same. Never thought to try and warranty them. Just at the very edges.

#just checked only two years on sunglasses, so onto plums.

Cheers. I'm weighing up a front rack/cradle type thing. Its between the Carradice, Jack the Rack and the Aeroe Spider.

Trying to pick the right one first time.

Is the only thing holding the bag the rubber straps through the loops on the bar?

Some sort of bagman for bars is what's needed.

Appreciated, but I'd have the same issue, unable to ride on the tops without interference. I didn't realise how irksome that becomes on longer trips..

Judging by their alarming pricing for the rear rack I'm sure I wont be able to afford it.

If only AliExpress would jump on the tailfin thing..

So a groundsheet for my new tent is £40 lolz

Naturally I'm going to make my own inferior, ill fitting solution via the medium of the Tyveks.

Watched a bloke on Youtube who managed to make a really nice job of it, so obviously Im not going to do that but I would like some eyelets to integrate into my tent pegs with some shock cord.

Has anyone used those plastic snap together ones for something similar or should I belt and braces with s/s ones?

Yeah those accessory extenders are a good shout but I'm wringing my hands looking at that pic. Bag looks like its rammed into the cables albeit securely mounted. A titanium frame who cares but a painted finish would be destroyed on a wet and grimy trip.

I realise this is my problem and I'm too precious and should just accept the rubbage but I want to avoid it.

Maybe one of those formed plastic Spider things is the answer, dunno.

Bar bags, specifically a big roll for sleeping stuff. I'm looking for a stabiliser that's not going to de-breek me. I've used the Restrap anchor/ bumper. I think it was about £40.. a fool and his money.

Do not want.

Tried a hammock thing which was ok but wanted to ask if there was anything else out there. I want it away from the bar so I can ride the tops and away from the cables. I realise I should probably get a Jack The Rack but ££s

What do you use?

I'll take both winter caps ta.

Winter cap ok for posting?

I'd be interested in a coloured top cap too, after Jim Bergerac of course.

Yeah I'm kind of going off the idea of a bivvy in favour of a tarp tent.

Yeah, Etsy has thrown up Tyvek book repair tape which might fit the bill. Only need a few bits rather than the whole roll.

Does anyone know where you can get Tyvek anchor tabs in the UK or somewhere that will ship to the UK for a reasonable amount?

I could punch eyelets into it but the tabs are a more pleasing solution.

Or can I make them and glue them on myself? 🤔

I'm always glad to actually receive a package via Evri. It's a fucking thanksless task for these folk.

A shitty company to work for who have a shitty reputation for actually doing what they are paid for. I've had four different agents within the last year all miserable fuckers. The current one is a really nice young woman who does an actual smile when you see her, it won't last...
