  Another vote for Wilfa here (I don't need anything finer than moka though), in the event you end up buying new.

  A chain might be easier to replace during an ultra, but it's not more durable than a belt.

  Awful news. One of the greats of the forum, whose posts I always enjoyed reading. Rest In Peace.

• Which Waterproof Trousers?

  Rab update: bought the Cinder Downpour, sent them back and got the Cinder Kinetic instead. Fit is spot on and the fabric feels very nice. Nice bike-specific touches too, like the reinforcement where the trousers would contact the chain. Had a few commutes in the rain and they performed as well as one can expect from PFAS-free fabric. So all in all a very good purchase.
