    Whats the name of the pub TB, was thinking it may be easier for me just to stay at the pub Sat night and meet everyone at the startline :unsure: rather than riding up in the morning. Yet to buy a tent and might as well travel light for a one day ride.

    Hi James, the pub isnt a pub (my bad) its a golf club but does feeds and sells beers. It will be a camp only setup I am afraid :unsure:
    There are a few driving up (I may even to save the road miles on my new bike) in which case camping and tents shouldnt be a problem. The cars can be parked at a safe location at the old Oak milk bar Peats Ridge

    I have some rox risers you could have Chicken but I don’t think they really work as they are too high and there wasn’t enough cable even after re routeing.
    Just got a new damper on mine which with the risers, raised it up maybe half that distance and happy days.
    In saying they don’t fit it could be more to do with my mechanical abilities :pinch: but they are high.

    No $$$ needed Chicken, free to a good Tenere home, ;) seems to me what goes around comes around in one way or another on OBT hope you can make them work.
    As for sizes not 100% sure but I would say that they would give you 50-60mm height max but that does change with the bars forward or back :unsure: Handlebars can either be the standard bars or fatter ones.
    If in doubt give TB a shout :laugh: , he saw them when they were on my bike although he did point out they were too far forward ,but like I said I had trouble with cable lengths and clearances on full lock with the barkbusters.
    Cheers James

    This is true TB, but with that ride 10 or so weeks away there are other items on the never ending wish list that I would have liked to have got first so I will weigh it up.
    Either way I am still keen to tag along, so shall begin tent research and see what I find, problem is one thing usually leads to another and before you know it, not only am I explaining a cheap ebay tent but the racks and wolfman luggage that are absolutely necessary :whistle: :laugh: :laugh: for me to have on these camping trips if I am to save accommodation costs.
