Re: The post man's been ...
Excellent, look forward to poring over it!
Thank you for the tyre offer thought - appreciated - hah, "retro" indeed . TBH, I invested in far too many 26ers a while ago, which are festooning our shed like rubbery Xmas decorations. Well I need to be prepared for when the flag finally goes up and the country descends into the abyss of misplaced diameters .

Ooh, getting a bit existential there Dave. I suppose quite a bit of praying goes on when they start their death rattle in the middle of nowhere.Postby Dave Barter » Fri Dec 08, 2017 2:24 pm
Some Hope Hub pawl springs. Probably cost more than god by weight
One of the (many) benefits of living oop north was that when my 5 year old Hope pawls died due to neglect, I popped the wheel into their HQ in Barnoldswick and 15 minutes later was given back a repaired and regreased hub foc.

Postie (in shorts and santa hat ) delivered silk inner socks and inner gloves from ebay, some no-tie elastic laces, a pair of trainer insoles, and pair of Dexshell merino lined waterproof socks - will be interesting to see how they compare to my old seal skin ones...
And a vw bay window camper outer sill which will (with some fettling) work a treat on my Vauxhall midi camper...

Not so much a gravel grinder.... more a gravel (mud and tarmac) groveller...

Re: The post man's been ...
Following my 'can you combine different air mats' thought, decided to get myself an insulated mat. 511g on the scales and $61 from massdrop. Unfortunately stung for another £17 customs charge but nevermind. Still good value so long as it lives upto it's claims.

And delivered a pair of WTB trail boss tyres and a KMC chain for the Fargo, setup tubeless very easy. Running tubes just makes me nervous now

Re: The post man's been ...
The china trailstar has arrived.
On one hand I feel bad not having bought a "real" one, on the other I've got the tarp, poles and ti stakes for about £65 (and it turns out the pegs that came with the tarp wren't all that bad afterall). Test run this weekend hopefully.

eBay. Loads of options. I avoided black as I wanted it to be clearly visible.

A fleece 'onsie' ... designed as an under layer for dry suits but I'm reckoning it could be just the job for kipping in.
May the bridges you burn light your way

My sealskinz deep winter lobster gloves were completely soaked through on Sunday after a couple of hours prompting this purchase. it's a shame as I have worn them in Finland and a couple of weekends ago in minus temps with no issues, as it was dry.....
Today was 20-30 mins of light rain with a claimed +1 degree and no ingress. My fingers felt the cold a bit but my circulation has been hammered by LEL!
