Re: Odd old Dawes? 1-Down? What is this?
Best bike I ever had. Wish I could remember who I sold mine to (someone on this forum) so I could trade it back.

Great stuff thank you. Looks like it's my turn this summer.
I do still laugh at the thought of shouting "WIMPS" at you guys when I saw you in Gloucester

I had a red number 1 on my messages tab for over a week and couldn’t find it. It’s a different place when you’re not in contacts list doh! Wished I’d found your message that day but probably hadn’t a clue where we were anyway. :) :lol: Ah, no worries. I had a lovely 80miler ride for that meetup. I ...

Well done chaps! Chapeau!
Sorry that the Bristol day was a bit of a downer, that's the day I was waiting for you all at Almondsbury.
I could have come further south and guided you, but there we are. Alls well that ends well.

All in weight is 1.95kg

Re: Augmenting the frame of an A-frame Tent
From the help in this thread - thank you all - I now understand what I did wrong;
The gothic arch needs to lean quite a way forward, once I did that...all is well!
This is actually a super little 1-man tent, perfect my needs; really lightweight and packs down tiny.

Re: Augmenting the frame of an A-frame Tent
Thank you philsknees.
I have just found another piece of paper in the bottom of the bag;
https://www.flickr.com/photos/152231827 ... 919564200/
According to this I do appear to have everything i need? No ridge pole needed??
I'm going to buy one anyway I think.

Re: Augmenting the frame of an A-frame Tent
Thanks guys.
I do indeed have a Force 10. It felt like it needed extra rigidity, I'll look into itnow I know the correct term to use.
