[RBW] Sage Sam tough-up color?

Just wondering if anyone has found a good nail polish tone to use for touching up their sage hillborne. Noticed a few minor chips & scuffs that I'd like to treat next time I get all of this PDX grime wiped off the frame. cheers, JB -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

Different names, same bike. Available as a semi-custom (built-to-order to a Riv spec), or you can by the 58cm Glorius Rich-at-Riv is selling. Compared to a Cheviot it has shorter chsinstays and super-fancy lugs. I suspect the tubing is a bit thinner, too. -- You received this message because

Forgot to mention: The Kelty is free standing, meaning you can set it up without using any stakes, and the fly is still off of the netting. Only you can't use the vestibules. The BA requires about 5-6 stakes with the fly section to keep it off of the netting, plus you have some guy-cords

I have two smaller tents that get pressed into service for bike camping. The first is a used Kelty Gunnison 2 person that runs about 4 pounds and sets up lightening fast. I take that if I'm going to be out more than a few days (because of the extra room for changing clothes, etc...) or if it

Re: [RBW] Your S24O tent recommendation

Take a look at a Montbell bag. They have diagonal elastic seams which normally keeps the bag snug against the body (quicker to heat up) but will also expand when you stretch out. I believe they are now made in Viet Nam. On Thursday, February 16, 2017 at 2:02:28 PM UTC-5, Bill Lindsay wrote: >

Re: [RBW] Your S24O tent recommendation

Diagonal space or asym desgin of the Hennessy hammock (and others I'm sure have this too), is the secret sauce to not getting bent up while sleeping. I put my thermarest pad in the hammock with me, and that helps flatten the bottom a bit more as well if I wiggle around a bit. I sleep comfortably

I would look to an expert—it seems the proper way to lay in a hammock is to have your legs hang over the sides, which allows the knees to bend naturally. Problem solved. --Eric N campyonly...@me.com www.CampyOnly.com Campyonlyguy.blogspot.com @Campyonlyguy > On Feb 16, 2017, at 9:57 AM, Tim

Re: [RBW] Your S24O tent recommendation

Bill- A wide enough hammock can allow you to lie down diagonally, so the curve is less extreme. [image: Inline image 1] But yeah, that hyperextension bugs the hell out of my knees. When lying on my back in a hammock, I usually end up with my legs splayed instead of straight. Or, I just sleep

Re: [RBW] Your S24O tent recommendation

I can't get to sleep in a hammock. Getting bent into that "C" (or "V") shape makes my knees ache from hyperextension. Am I the only one who can't do it? Am I just doing it wrong? I use my hammock for lounging, but couldn't fall asleep trying to do an overnighter in the backyard as an S24O

Re: [RBW] Your S24O tent recommendation

Hammocks are great. A 3/4 pad works well, but an underquilt is even better. Neither is needed for summer camping, and a hammock will feel cooler on the hot summer nights. We did a 5 week west coast trip, and all three of us used hammocks. My buddy has also through hiked the AT, and rode
