For a new wheel build. Less than £25 for a rear XT hub? Count me in!

And it includes the quick release skewer which CRC list as £18 so that makes it £7 for a rear XT hub
That is quite the bargain

Amazon
It was £38.95 but I ordered something else with it and got the £10 off £50 deal they were doing the other day.
The "other" thing was a Garmin Tempe. Completely nerdy but it was also on special offer so I couldn't resist.

Pair of Midge Bars to try on the Croix De Fer.
We shall see if I have fallen victim to cycling fashion or not...
Fancied a change from the regular compact drop bars I have. Flared drops seem very popular at the moment so I thought I would try a pair of Alpkit Mud Bombers, but as usual, if you hesitate with Alpkit, they sell out of what you want, so ended up going to Planet X, who I haven't used before. Excellent service though.

"Wild Camping" by Stephen Neale. Just noticed it's got its own thread.
Bought it hoping for a bit more knowledge about the "legal" side of things so will be interesting to see if that's what I get.

Endura Convert Softshell jacket from CRC £42.49, (looks like it'll be great for cooler weather riding with the option to zip the sleeves off and turn it into a gilet). Also a Singletrack waterproof jacket in purple for 'er indoors on the odd occasion she goes outdoors!

Montane Fireball Verso. Orignal size large was smaller than all my other Montane gear so exchanged for XL. Funny old world / fit

Supernova E3 Pro2 light. It's dead posh, even comes in a metal box an' everyfin.

Nice box indeed. Could use it as a biscuit tin. Admittedly you might not get many in though. Unless they were those "iced gems" ones.

Are iced gems a biscuit?
I've always put them in the "Sweets" category.

Nice lights, I ran one for 3 years, if you’re looking at rear lights the son is much better than the supernova, very bright with its own stand light.

I thought the Supernova was 'odd' as the front light converts the rear light feed to DC but all other dynamo rear lights are AC?

Just checked, my sinewave beacon is DC output for the tail light, the supernova runs off the main stand light and only illuminates one of the leds. The son maintains full output for quite some time due to having its own stand cap.
The SON is a seriously good bit of kit, you won’t be disappointed.

Salsa tope tube bag (the bolt on type) and a heavily discounted Crikey, how much hardshell jacket to match my new gravel bike... which I have not made much progress building!
