   I haven't had a mat strapped on the outside of a pack since the old foam roll days! The inflatables all pack down fairly small. Couple of photos for comparison - grey one is Exped Downmat Lite 5...

   It looks like a silly mistake but just before it is a very deceptive, off-camber kink over a blind crest. A few others made similar mistakes but gave up on trying to pull it back in time for the...

    Ah one of those fruitloops! :thumbsup: You would need a bigger front gear on a new downhill bike than what Shearer or I have on all-rounder bikes, DH bikes only seem to have 6 or 7 gears too...
