North Face Slickrock 2-man tent We bought this tent 9 years ago to go world backpacking for 5 months. It’s an ultralight mountaineering-style tent, and packs nice and small. The design uses a half-fly and half single wall design – reduces the weight big time. It slept the two of us well for...

:( Just that. :( I know it's lots of abuse created, but it means I'm going to have to call the Cambrian on a "Proper" UK-Rally bike. So much so, I'm going to write the email soon. All I needed to do was Have the wheels rebuilt with new spokes and nipples so they could be tightened up...

But not at the local panel beater....but in my shed :cool: I decided to give it a try myself. I bought the kit for under £150 and I've already started :D Have a look at the little web page I have created showing the progress: http://www.pibernik.co.uk-a.googlepages.com/ :D :D :D I...

CHEC are racing near High Wycombe on Sunday, a 1 by 4 hour Hare and Hounds. The website recons its a flowing course, so that sounds Transalp suitable to me!! Will cost £50-£55 for a phone entry, +£5 to enter on the day, and it seams like there are lots of places left. Will possibly cost another...

I’ve just fitted new handlebars to my 650v6 (Renthal 717) , the object of the exercise being to get more front end feel. The new bars are lower and have less sweep resulting in moving relative positions forward about 40mm and down 25mm. Tipping my weight forward suits my particular riding style...

Hmm maybe being half asleep and playing on the net is not such a good idea just created a blog by accident :shock: And duly marked it for deletion yeah I know this is just increasing my posts 8)
