Alpkit frame bag for the Dirty Harry. Looking forward to trying it for size this weekend, and using it for real if my borah bivvy turns up next week. And a few drybags from Alpkit.
Last week it was spare mech hanger, brake pads, and a couple of other exciting bits like foam grips. Next week it's glacier gloves, and the week after some new (cheap) shoes and thin gloves.

Salsa Bend 2 bars. Ceramic BB on the way to replace 2k miles old Hope SS. ALL BBs designed in the last 10-15 years are stupid.
I got both versions of this bar. I love it. Did you get the 23 or 17 degree version?

If it's any consolation, one of those took 48-hours to arrive and the other took 24 ;)

Funny you should say that ... I'm just coaching a bloke who's part of the MET Anti-terrorist squad. Maybe he's been sent to infiltrate the cymru PLO :shock:

After riding around on a pair of wellgo v8 copy pedals for the last two years I decided to buy something nice so a pair of Nukeproof Neutron pedals in black arrived this morning along with some summer gloves.

Sawyer mini filter picked up on the way into work

best price I could find was £27 but free postage was only for orders over £30 so I also bought a Trek'n'Eat breakfast pouch to make it £30.01 :-bd

These arrived courtesy of Travers Bikes ... sadly I'm only looking after them until the WRT on May 3rd, when some lucky person will be taking them home. Perhaps I could 'misplace' them between now and then :wink:

Not bikepacking kit, but the bottles might see use on bikepacking trips when they're not adorning the road bike during triathlons

Yesterday the Postie finally brought me something: Klymit Inertia x-lite sleeping mat. 157g of combination of sleeping mat and large holes where the rest of it would be, but isn't. Quick trial on a hard floor seems to prove it's more comfortable than the floor itself. Not just for back sleepers either, found a position that works on my side. Pack size is impressive too.

Today I got an email saying my TN bivi bag will be a few more days :roll:

I agree that it seems possible to get comfy on your side too. Though its a week and a half until I'll be using it in anger
