Tactical Compact + Techlite is also my setup (with a SIM). I store my bivvy table and pillow in there folded up and it's still lighter than my Solar bed with nothing on it!

Me and a couple of mates had a lesson with him.

First thing he did was bend the butt of my Torrix 12 6 TE's over his knee to show me how inadequate they were, then, in reference to my mates 13 Kaizen Greens said 'they are ok' .

Later when asking for recommendations he went on about the Fox rods, weird we thought........3 weeks later it was announced he'd joined Fox 😂😂

Go figure.

It’s all looking/working great bud 👌

The large Prologic Inspire one is great for the money, doesn’t weigh a ton either

I was about to approach them about a new set of rods as they are 20 minutes up the road from me, which would be handy. But having read reviews and posts on here I’ll be going back to Kev Clayton who I know is spot on.

Is the search function capable of searching within posts rather than just thread titles, that was quite handy?

The zip has broken on my my mk1 Dry Kore jacket, it got stuck then suddenly unstuck and the end flew off, great!!

Anywhere that can fix it and is it even worth doing for what it would cost?

That was weird, one minute I was on the old site and suddenly, boom, it's disappeared and I'm on the new one!!

Liking it especially dark mode 👍

One question, is there any way to get your PM inbox back or is it lost in the ether?

Thanks for the advice guys, I got some 1.6mm galvanised wire from Screwfix for £3.50, took about 15 minutes to do once I'd worked out which spokes went where. Got plenty left for when it does it again 😎

As a footnote, apparently the problem is mainly caused by storing the brolly ‘hub down’, so all the moisture collects on that top wire section.

Yes you’re right. Found a video on YouTube and it looks a lot easier if you detach the fabric from the frame, still looks like PITA though 😂
