[wayneg]

Looks like I'll have to dust off the postie bike then.....

[nigelp]

I am keen to go along for the ride! Looks like there may be a few from Chch going up to this!

With regards to the roller sheet holder thing, what size click clack box for you need to have? Looks pretty easy to make, but want to get the right size box so can fit in the route sheets.

0.4L is the size and your first mission is to source one. They ain't easy to find, if at all.

I'd go for the 0.9l one meself. The Dusty Butt roll chart takes up most of the depth of the 0.9 one (though I managed to make it a bit smaller this year). A 0.6l would probably be OK for most rides.

Couple of bits of advice don't get petrol on the clear lids (goes cloudy and very brittle) and tape the lids on as well as the clips (manage to loose one when doing a DB checking run).

0.9L is probably a bit big? The 0.4L will take a couple of hundred instructions. Go here for details on how to make one.

See if you can find reality.

[chris]

Ask John how many route instructions there will be. That'll give you a good idea on what size you will need.

Smallest one does it - Vege makes two rolls and swaps at lunch break.

[chris]

Vege makes twenty ham rolls and eats them at lunch break.

Fixed, allegedly.

Yep for a "normal" day ride the 0.4 or 0.6 (much easier to source) is the way to go. The Dusty Butt is a 1000km adventure ride that is suppose to be done in under 24 hours so a few more instructions that normal and don't want to be changing rolls during the ride

I've seen a few made from those similar 'Sistema' plastic containers. They didn't look quite as strong as the click-clack jobbies though.

When I made mine (out of a .6L click clack IIRC) I bent up some aluminium strip for the mount, riveted on another couple of bits that went up around the sides & drilled them for the rollers to run in - much stronger than just having a hole in the plastic & it'd be a good way of making any cheesier plastic boxes more serviceable.

Don't forget your scissors & sellotape at sign on either!

Emailed 4skins, got the entry form, PDF'd it and here it is.

This post has been updated with the corrected entry form regarding fire extinguishers being mandatory.

It would be good if the route sheets were downloadable in .pdf format a week before the event. That would allow prep of the strips without the panic of trying to do them on the day,
