Re: Exped Air Pillow - Who uses one

Yip - used one since last year replacing an older model. Very good in my view for the size. You can get better, think its the comfort pillow, but its much bulkier. Wrap a fleece round it and its super

Re: The rise of the Adventure Biker?

So, I'd ask, is there an issue in the first place "Adventure" is a relative term, and there's a wide range of people out there having an adventure - from RTW through to a weekend away. Its all dependent on your availability, your time, your work and family commitments. Oh - and cash of cou...

I've got the ARD cases that came with the RD04 and they are really well made

Pete (Knobby101) got the ARD cases for his RD07a AT - great value

And you'll be able to use tham on other bikes !!!

Re: So which hard cases .....

Yip - seen those - interested in what they are like "in the field" from people's experiences Hello Iainnic If you search for previous editions of the ABR magazine, issue 3 i think, but I'm sure someone on this forum will correct me soon, there was a review of the top 20 panniers. Hope it h...
