This old chestnut again ! On previous events we have seen some neat perspex map clips/holders which attach to the handlebars but we have not been able to track them down does anyone have any ideas? they are about 20cm x 15cm . The main advantage would seem that they don't obscure your view of the front wheel !

As soon as you put a map on them they will though!

I think Ultrasport may sell them (their website
seems to be down, but you should find contact
details on the British Orienteering Federation
Website, www.britishorienteering.org.uk). Otherwise
make one yourself - details on singletrackworld site.

polaris will be selling them on their stand at the event

Andy,

Maptrap by C.J design is excellent,very

small(150x100approx) ,it holds the map over the stem

leaving good view of front wheel & costs �12.I

recomended by Aiden Leheup ,say no more !

You can contact them on (01629)582089 or try

I hope this is of some help to you

I made mine from a piece of perspex (cut to whatever size you want, start big and cut it down), 2 20mm pipe clips bolted to the perspex, and 2 tie wraps through the perspex and round the bars to stop it all bouncing off. It has stayed on the bars for about 2 years until I took it off for some maintenance. I got the perspex free and the clips and wraps probably cost about 10 to 20p.

Also try Rick Houghton at Compass Point at http://www.compasspoint-online.co.uk/

He may have the perspex holders and definately has the rotating map boards

The Polaris Maptrap will be available at the Autumn event - more details on the front page of the Endurance site

I would defiantly go for the perspex version , I have tried aluminuim but I did'nt fancy having my knees sheared off in a fall ! Don't even consider the cheaper flexible A4 variety from Halfords and the like, they move/blow all over the place.
