  Generally, yes, you’ll have no trouble getting a ferry in Scotland at last minute with a bike. There are some exceptions, like a Saturday morning crossing to Arran which gets very busy. Groups of 6 are meant to let the port office know beforehand, but sounds like it’s just you.

  Absolutely, it sounds like there's now a very minimal crew still shipping things until the stock runs out, but YMMV with returns/service. The thing that's changed in the last few days is that a lot more people have been made redundant.

  Does anyone know the going price of a Cyclehoop Bikehangar bought one off for domestic use? I've requested some info from Cyclehoop, but wondered if anyone had a quick answer.

  Yeah, I run 48/31 x 11-40 with GRX 800. Rear derailleur needed the clutch backing off a touch, but it runs well now. With 650B wheels that gets me 21 gear inches. Bikepacking in Scotland, init.

• Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

  Yes, exactly that. Mystery solved, thanks @Chopsicle! Shame, as it’s the nicest colourway produced imo. Just too slim for me. Out of interest, how does the Albion ultralight jacket compare?

  Quite possibly... I've shifted it now, but looked like this?

  Did Rapha change the fit of the Brevet Insulated Jacket? I swear it used to be a classic fit, but the newer ones look more like Pro team and the fit on the site suggests the same. I bought one second hand in the same size as my existing insulated gilet and it was way too tight across the chest.
