Any experiences taking the bike on the ferry (Portsmouth to Cherbourg)? Any extra charges? Do I have to book it on advance or can I get the ticket the same day?

It's quite tiny inside. I think it's 63cm high and 220cm long. I'm 5,5ft and it was a bit difficult to get dressed.

And yes, there is definitely space in the porch to fit two panniers and a pair of shoes.

Went to the South Downs to test my new Coshee Micro. Really happy with it: light, cheap and pretty easy to pitch/unpitch.

Cool! Hope to see here if you manage to lower it.

Very nice ride, got a couple of questions. Does the washer come when buying the rack? And is it possible to put it upside down so that the rack seats lower?

What about the Blackburn Outpost? Looks like a good choice to mount full size panniers in the front. Apparently it´s out of stock everywhere.

Thanks guys, I´ll wait to hear something from him. Otherwise I´ll open a dispute on PP.

Does anybody have any references from @Dandy ? I payed a 18t cog two weeks ago and I did get nothing. He also hasn´t connected to the forum since past week.

Are you serious?

World´s lightest tent is 600g.

So what's light then? A Zephyros 1 is the same weight, Coshee Micro is 1.4kg, Ferrino Lightent 1 is 1.5kg, Snugpak Ionosphere 1.7kg...

All of them about 100£. And you can definitely find heavier ones (2-2.5kg) for around the same price.

Nice! What is the rack on the Moser?

Another supercheap and lightweight option. Hi Gear Soloista, 30GBP, 1.6kg.

Any experiences freecamping near London? I'm looking to do a weekend tour around the coast (Brighton, Hashtings...) starting and ending in London.

As long as it´s deeper than the junction between the top tube and seat tube it´s fine. Over that is quite risky for you and for the frame.

That´s quite a funny name for a bike.

My bike doesn´t have clearance for more than 23c's. :( I´ve ridden through some canal paths and it was totally fine, though only for a a few km, not 100.

Anyway, I´ll probably be in.

I mean the terrain, ground or whatever is the right word for it.

Track forks?

Any pictures to get and idea of the surfaces?

Are these handlebar bags any good?

I´m looking for a handlebar bag that doesn´t require any extra hardware to mount it. Dill Pickle handlebar bag would be the best choice but it´s not available in Europe.

This morning left home without a fixed route, just heading south-east London to see some countryside. I ended up somewhere near Sevenoaks riding through some dirty and lonely backroads.

Not the nicest day for a ride, but I needed to see some nature.

Needs ATACs.

Rad bike, rad tent and rad spot. Where is it?

Interested aswell. Would look nice on my ratty commuter.
