Thanks guys will give the tenacious tape a go

Hi All,

I have a Tempest Bivvy 100 Aquatex EV 1.0 and must have caught the front panel on a bramble or nail in a swim without noticing and there is a tiny hole there now. Any recommendations on small repair patches I could stick to the inside to seal this up?

So you have you take off the little sprung level that operate the leg extension. there is a spring and a small screw underneath it so hold onto it while you do it so it doesn't go flying. Remove that screw and then the whole assembly can just pull off the end of the leg. Some of them pulled off easily and some I had to wack off with a rubber mallet. I think I took off 60 or 65mm from each leg by memory and it took it as low as it could go but measure how much you can take off its easy to do.

I use the big game fluro leader in 25lb too its the perfect material

Have both. Both are great tbh you get a little more room in the TA one though with the additional pocket on top and you can add the little extra side pouches too if needed. Id go for the TA one out of the two

13ft Freespirit Hi's ive

I went from the Ive ER to the 13 foot ive and have to say its the best rod ive ever used for both casting and playing fish. It does everything very well. Was hitting 30 wraps the other week with nowhere near full beans

Yeah I use the Tempest brolly 100. I don't like the 150 ones and didn't want to get a new biv as well so just altered the bed to suit. It is fairly simple to do but takes a few hours of measuring and sorting out the 6 legs. I have an engineering background though so it was like bread and butter stuff for me. It is a game changer though and 100% worth the time.

Solar MK2 - Have had one for 2 months and lowered the legs on it to make it 300mm tall instead of 400mm and its honestly the best bed I've ever used. Sleep almost like I'm at home in it

Update:

Have successfully shortened the legs on the bedchair. Took about 3 hours after work yesterday evening and was a pretty straight forward procedure one I had figured out how to do the first one.

Hey Guys,

I bought the new SP C Tech a little while ago now and it's an awesome bit of kit best bed I have owned by a country mile ! I have one gripe with it that I was going to see if any of you have tried to fix yourselves and if you have had any success.

I have a tempest brolly 100 and the 400mm height on the bedchair is just too tall for me. I don't want to change the bed or the brolly so I am looking at shortening the legs on a bedchair. I have an engineer who can help but wanted to see if anyone has attempted something similar themselves or if I should just not mess about with it full stop. I'm assuming the mechanisms on the ends of the legs are push fit so if I can get them off shortening the legs and the internal leg parts shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Any experience or advice is welcome on this one.

Thanks
