Cycling Shorts arrived (second run of printing). According to the postcard he's recently moved to Leeds so if anyone wants to go show him the local area then do get in touch...

Pair of Rose winter boots. So far so good, fit well and seem pretty warm. Test ride to go see the stars this evening if the clouds clear away!

Some CO2 cartridges. I don't really like using them due to their disposable nature but to reseat a tubeless tyre in the middle of nowhere there's not much choice.

Bottle of Irish, bottle of Scottish and some gin.
All to go on to lucky Xmas recipients. It's at times like this I regret splashing out on good stuff (that I'd drink) but for other people. I just hanker for it. The number of nearly-not-presents is incredible

Re: The post man's been ...
Some tyre levers that double as a quick link tool as I don't have conventional laces in my winter Boa riding boots. This was prompted by me trashing a nearly new chain on Sunday and realising that I probably wouldn't have been able to split the quick link on the trail if I'd needed to.

Two special things - I was hoping they'd arrive before today so the recipients would have them for Christmas. That's now looking unlikely but who knows - maybe a Christmas miracle?. Sorry for the vagueness but they're a surprise

Sorry, I misunderstood. Yes, charged and left, they do seem to maintain their charge very well.How do they behave once recharged, then? stored?

Re: The post man's been ...
I use them in my SPOT and I use them other way round (no not +ve to -ve ) I charge them before I use them so I know they are fully charged and then they are stored part charged until the next time I use it when they get charged up again. They always have charge after use and they still have charge when put on to charge for the next use,
I also use them in a headtorch and I just charge them when flat, I have two sets and the spare are left charged ready with no issues.

^ I was getting more and more worried as I scrolled down and nobody seemed to have picked up on that!
Just to keep things on topic, wouldn't those little blue pills be better in terms of weight and pack size?

Last post before Christmas brought me a Dynaplug tubeless kit. I knew it was light, I wasn't expecting it to be so tiny.

My first thought, 'that' ll make ya' eyes water, squeak', also I'd logged onto the wrong forum, for broader minds. LolScotRoutes wrote:Thu Dec 24, 2020 6:09 pm Last post before Christmas brought me a Dynaplug tubeless kit. I knew it was light, I wasn't expecting it to be so tiny.
