That looks more like 1x 2. Not sure about the jump between cogs either.

In my experience it's totally random - I've posted stuff to different people in the same town and it's arrived two days apart! Same item, postage, collection point, collecting office and delivery office but different times of delivery.

Well the Amazon delivery man's been and dropped off two massive boxes for the other half and I've no idea what's inside them! :shock:

My old helmet has gotten too loose and shamefully too many dents to be safe so a new one was in order,

After trying on LOADS today I picked up a new Giro Helmet in a fetching blue, simple and basic all round mtb, or as the shop called "XC race"

I did have to laugh at how many times the staff member said "Enduro" in one sentence :lol:

The boxes have now been opened: a tent to replace the one that was wrecked in a thunderstorm at Annecy last summer (this was a car camping tent so not exactly lightweight) and a chair :???:

Very cute! I'd almost be tempted with a furry one if it weren't for the fact I spend most of my time trying to escape my commitments so I can ride more :))
