Re: Towing eyes
In a big ( say anything over 30 mph )accident with another vehicle it wont make much difference, as the main crumple zones are in the chassis, and they will still work. The plastic bumpers etc dont do much to absorb any impact energy against something large really and many vehicles still have a larg...

Re: New Boat
Axiom is an awesome boat for starting out in and grade 3+. I am a bit shorter and lighter than you and have paddled one for the last 3 years, it has really helped me progress. Before that i had a D65 and breifly a big creek boat (which i hated) the Axiom is way more fun than both. Unless you plan on...

Re: Boy's wetsuit with front zip
Have you looked in decathlon? They do a farmer john style wetsuit with front zip and relief velcro flap. I have had a much earlier kayak specific version without the relief flap for many years and its been great (reinforced bum and knees and shaped.) Im not sure if the current version is as good as ...

Re: Charges at Mile End Mill
Its been like that for ages. You sign in and pay your 3 quid. Its a small price to pay for using the site and possibly helping to keep it open. There are a lot of other more inconvenient places to park and egress the river instead.

Re: Condition of new SOT Kayaks...is this the norm?
Noone is happy with faults. You received poor service also. But you did get a credit note. If there is a fault with that model or any model then yes tell people on this (or any) forum. But keep it objective. What you were doing was complaining that your colour scheme would no longer match and the fa...

You want compensation for the warranty issues?? Really?? You had a faulty boat, that they have given you a credit note for. Sounds ok to me. You are complaining that you have bought all red kit and now it wont match? Get another red boat if you must match. Sorry but faults happen sometimes, get a ne...

Re: Broken nerve
You are definitely focusing too much on what you perceive to be negatives. It sounds like you had a few very good positive things to concentrate on, you ran Town falls fairly high for the first time in ages, and had a roll when you needed it. Both awesome !

Re: waterproofing
I used rubber (i think they were neoprene off ebay )washers and they worked really well. You may have to lube them a bit so they don't deform as they twist when you tighten the bolt head. Or PU sealer would work well.

Re: CRUZ aero bars
I had the (older?) cruz aero bars on flush rails. They were solid once on, but a right faff to put on and take off as they used m6 nut and bolt, which had to be short thread length otherwise the lockable covers which hide them would not fit over. I drilled out the holes and used m8 bolts and nylocks...

Re: River Derwent
The Derwent is very low at the moment, but still perfectly paddleable. Expect flat water most of the way with a few scrapey bits at the current level. The "rapids" are pretty non existent at this level(about 0.38 on the online guage). If it fell to 0.3 on the guage it would be very scrapey in places...

It would depend on the insurer, some can be very strict like that in relation to other modifications, ive not heard it happening in relation to roof bars. I have told my (different) insurers on my last two cars and it didnt matter with either of them. Still probably best to tell them though, just to...

Re: Axiom 8.5 advice
I would say a Remix is not much like any of the other boats you have been trying, it has quite a lot of volume at the stern, so not much of a playful river runner like the others. Maybe try a large Ripper? At 100 kg you are right at the middle of the weight range, lots of volume and foot room at the...

Re: Dry suit advice
Sounds like its a bit small for you. Neither of the suits you mention are kayak specific drysuits, so not cut for sitting down position and free range of upper body motion as a kayak specific drysuit should be. Also neither have a twin waist for a spraydeck , which prevents water getting into the bo...
