Which Smart Keyboard did you go for?

[clueless] The box just says, Apple ipad pro smart keyboard [clueless]

[ianfitz]

I must have been a very good lad, no grumpiness or anything because a surprise ipad Pro and smart keyboard arrived for me today. It's obviously not christmas, nor is it my birthday

It's possible you've been good...

Or

That someone is just fed up up you using her, oops, their computer?

Hmm.

[Bearbonesnorm]

Oh no on the contrary - as a graphic designer Dee has lots of computers at her disposal and I have a (slightly old, well loved) Macbook ... I think I've been good.

Sorry Stuart. I'm sure you have been good. Just that I can never pass up the chance to be a bit cheeky

Speaking of Macs, the wifey got a MacBook Pro yesterday.

Price of a good bike right there Might phone ISON today and see what's what

I'd never deprive anyone of that pleasure Ian

I ordered my revelate feed bags as soon as mrs dummy told me she was off to LA for a long weekend

There are 1 of 3 conclusions here
- her trip is a proper bargain
- your feed bags are limited edition gold leaf ones
- you've been stitched up and should have ordered more kit

Exposure TraceR has just arrived. This is to use on my MTB when I've not got the Revo/Dynamo on the bike to power the Red Eye , which is now and for the foreseeable future as the hubs away for warranty repair/replacement

It's the same shape lens as the Red Eye which is good as the smooth shape means when I wipe across it with my hand to clear the mud off (when reaching a road) it actually cleans it off, some of my other lights (now on the road bike) have a recessed lens and this traps a layer of mud obscuring the light output. Exposure claim a run time of 24 hrs on low and flashing. A quick test under my desk at work seems to show low is plenty bright enough for most conditions and if turned on and off as required that should be plenty of run time for a multi-day trip.

Well the postie just delivered my new endura 3/4 camo shorts and a bunch of gels, but your right I should order more

Actually I did get a revelate tangle and longflap camper last week. And a Nordisk telemark 2w ago, and a raceface NX crank set and a Yeti down vest and a Ti pot and a pocket rocket2..... but she don't know.....

[whitestone]

A right little variety box

One set gear cables and outers
One set Jockey wheels
Two sets Shimano disk brake pads
Two sets Hayes disk brake pads
Two DMR hinged clamps
A Cube front mudguard

There might just be some servicing on the horizon

[Richpips]

One of these, yesterday. A DJI Osmo.




A quick dabble yesterday, shows it's a nice bit of kit for making those sick edits.

And similarly I would never pass up the opportunity!

[Fat tyre kicker]

A Salsa 'keep pedalling' top cap.......what can I say, I'm a Salsa magpie

[Zippy]

. A DJI Osmo.

Oh wow, that sort of stuff has got down to consumer price levels. Just looked it up, so uses a load of sensors and cameras for stabilisation? That's easier than a gyroscopic stabiliser!!

[Scattamah]

...what can I say, I'm a Salsa magpie

Oh really? Please PM me your snail mail address...I have something for you...something you won't get in a shop

Couple of little purchases arrived this week…

Ultralight Cuben Fiber Led Camping Lantern as recommended by Mr Climber, super-lightweight (9g) and easily bright enough for use in a tarp/tent/bothy



A pack-away rucksack for trips to The Spar to carry all those essential Ginsters I mean salads when out riding



Both cheap as chips, weigh nothing but will make life a little easier.

Genesis Longitude frame and fork combo (2017 version). Before buying wasn't too sure about the paint-job (main colour is stone, with an unusual urban DPM pattern in places); loads better in 'real life'!

[ScotRoutes]

Well, I had to go collect it from the local branch of Blacks, but at least I now have wallpaper for the study.

Looks interesting. Where did you get that?

I thought the same. A quick search and I found these https://www.ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk ... tern-p5927

And delivered my revelate feedbags, I got stung for customs £15 making them rather expensive with the postage from the land of trump. But they are extremely well made. The only down side is that my esbit pot is just a fraction too big to fit
