I like the design idea but are they any good & will i squeeze my 29er in it? (I'm thinking if I deflated the tyre)
They are complete sh1te. Sounds like a great idea but it's too heavy and if the one the mag had was anything to go by they also leak.
Crap - avoid.
You can get a decent lightweight tent for less and you'll be able to leave it pitched while you ride your bike.
Yeah thought so. I have a lightweight tent (or a basha when brave), I just liked the idea
They used one in a big bivvy article in the mag a while back (as per epicsteve's post) and it was a total disaster - compared to bashas, bivvy bags and lightweight tents). Shame; as the idea's a nice one.
It nearly killed me!
I successfully used it at Mayhem two years ago. I pitched it up INSIDE our marquee. These are the only conditions i would recommend for this bit of kit.
Mind you it did serve as the inspiration for the Touch of Class article in this months Singletrack 🙂
You might as well use one of these
