Re: The post man's been ...
I do love a good bit of wood. I smell it before I do anything else with it. Which quite possibly explains a few things. The w/site I saw was knocking out (what a coarse term for something so nice) staves for a bit more than that. Maybe the trees were grown in rocking-horse or unicorn sh.. i mean manure, or something. Just been out watering some oak saplings/treelets - grew 'em all from acorns over the years - that I guerilla-planted down by the river. Spend more time talking to them than talking to Mrs Perrin .

An inflatable lifejacket / PFD. Weighs 350g and packs down nice and small ... hopefully it'll be enough

Some new cleats, voile straps and some completely pointless but blingy valve caps

"inflatable lifejacket" - blimey, how rickety is the IOM ferry these days? Still, best to be prepared I guess.

Re: The post man's been ...
You'd be surprised what they actually hold up mate , I've got a slimline one from my paddling days think its rated upto 75kg and you know I'm slightly over that and it worked on quite a few occasions , now the problem I've got is your making me have the itch to paddle again , may be time to ask for some pennies in the new year for one of those inflatable thingys , on a separate issue mate what's the chance of that longshore holding 2 bikes kit and mi youngfella ( he paddles better than me so it could make for a easier journey)Bearbonesnorm wrote:An inflatable lifejacket / PFD.

Re: The post man's been ...
As I don't own a raft and Dee informed me that I'm worth much more dead than alive, I went for a budget option. It's termed as a 'snorkel vest' but it does look like it should do the job and of course there's the benefits of low weight and small packsize. If I was considering anything involving whitewater, I've have probably bought something else.What did you go for?

Is that to go with your stingray ring and snorkel outfit, Stu? :)

With a traded revelate harness, thanks again Scott. And some precautionary pawls and springs for my hope hub.

Velocity Blunt 35 rim to replace my rear Blunt ss which was dinged to hell within about 500 meters of Ben alder bothy and the path with its water bars on this years HT550. Its not as lithe as the ss but strong looking and more nimble than the dually tractor wheels that came with the bike. How the blunt ss got round the full 550 without ripping the tyre to shreds is a mystery.

Pedal rebuild kit from Tweekz. The saddle I ordered from them is 6 weeks away :( When it says 10 days for this item, it's not always going to be so.

Re: The post man's been ...
Ta fella. Did the other one here this evening. I do need to find a way of re-tensioning the springs. All 4 sets I have need this. I found a video online but lack the tools to do it.

Lucky you. I got the lightweight down jacket (weird thing to buy in the middle of a heatwave) but the shorts are as yet undespatched. Hey hoScotRoutes wrote: And a pair of Columbia shorts from SportPursuit.

He's dropped off some missed delivery cards which I've now exchanged for
Jones riser bars
Bum butter and free Brooks multi-tool
Free bum butter air freshener - all from Charlie the Bikemonger
SON 28 15 dyno hub - from Keep Peddling
And all the way from China, some handlebar shims to fit an exposure bracket to the front of Jones Loops without needing to wrap them in tape first

Re: The post man's been ...
Not quite the postie, but did pick up some fresh Specialized Sports and cleats to replace my old destroyed pair whilst out on the milk run earlier. Not nearly as comfortable or as well ventilated. Need proper breaking in.
