Yep I got one of those and it arrived last week. Gave it a quick test on the commute home and seems good.
Just need to make sure it's fully 'clicked' into the mount otherwise you might find the unit shoots off on the first bump in the ground
Luckily I had it on a leash attached to the bars

{Short version} A 19 year old magazine off ebay.





{Long version} Some of you will know that in a previous life I built motorbikes for a living but for one reason or another, when I left that life, I did so with few momentos of it. I happened to stumble upon this magazine on ebay which features the very last magazine cover bike I ever built, so I thought I'd risk 90p for old times sake ... sorry to bore you with my wistful wondering but there does appear to be a nipple in there if you look closely

You need to look more closely, Norm.

DOHC, I believe

3-spoke wheels, not a nipple to be seen. Well, excluding brake hoses, fuel lines...

p.s. udder surely

Bikes and boobs

And dropped of a front deraileur and new chain. Goodbye angry purring cat noise and hello granny ring.

Well even though the tracker says delivery due today, he aint coming on a bank holiday now is he....

Hes just this minute dropped me a frame off, heading for the garage - Photo's later, hopefully up a hill or in the garden

Edit: Here it is. Box to trail in about 2 hours, rides very nicely

It arrived a few weeks ago but I was only allowed to open it this weekend - a PHD Yukon down jacket.

My word... that does look rather special and lovely indeed

...and delivered a thermarest vesper quilt. Light and fluffy, like a bag of candy floss.

Mine left me a lovely red card that led to a Salsa top tube bag and a new front cog from the wonderful Keep Pedalling cellar

Two reet big boxes containing this years WRT T shirts ... nice they are.

Can I get one?

Right, that's you crossed off my list fella.

New rings for my Pact. I was getting chainsuck off the granny gear last weekend so was limited to a 36/42t gear for 200km. That included the Corrieyairack - obviously!!

Ooh more boxes, this time with raffle prizes inside ... no, you can't f*ckin' get one.

With a Hope Pro 4 rear wheel. Just need to get the tyre for it then it can go on the Spearfish

6 [ yes SIX] orange chainring bolts from china v ebay for pennies


Why six is though?

More boxes containing WRT prizes, today from the lovely people at Keep Pedalling and Alpkit ... John won't win any of them BTW.

...and dropped off an OS Explorer 214 map to add to my gradually increasing collection of maps in the area of BB towers.

Replacement extra-long QR skewer for my shopping trailer.

And a parcel containing almost a full set of books by Richard Feynman (some claim "the greatest physicist of the 20th century", amongst an illustrious field of rivals). Dunno why I haven't got them before now. One shall retire to one's bath now with "Six Easy Pieces" and a packet of cheese and onion crisps. Idiots like "people have had enough of experts" Gove should be forced to read them at (laser)gun-point (the books not the crisps).

Did you get "surely you're kidding me Feynman" in there? It's a fantastic memoir and mercifully short on hard physics
