Thankyou Rob I couldnt have done such a great technical review myself ! I would like to do one on the fluffier stuff , and perhaps when im on expedition I will 😊

Never have the Words 'Nadgee Solo' and 'fluffy' been written in the same sentence....!

[@brenzventures]

@@MarkSundin from my perspective it will seem fluffy as no hard specs or engineering talk will be present ! We can all fluff our edges once and a while 😬💃

Re the Solo badge - I understand that badge was given to those Nadgees that had the addition of a feature that enabled for solo travelling. The addition meant one could easily cart a land fully laden kayak after landing with its gear still on board without the need for a wheel trolley - merely two separate wheels that fitted into a tube that ran thru the day hatch. Is this not standard anymore?

[@MarkSundin]

Not sure what was standard or an option under previous manufacturers. The original designer Dave Winkworth is happy to install the wheels you’re describing as an after market modification.
