Loads of 9/ 10 speed front and rear mechs - well used and not all with good jockey wheels - so probably suitable for a pub or kids bike.

Lomo Bivi Pole: https://www.lomo.co.uk/acatalog/medium- ... ml#SID=100

Random sections of lightweight fibreglass poles - possible to connect two or three together. Two of them weight 125g. Might be useful for tarp rigging etc.

Ton, I've got some red Ergon grips you can have. Good nick on the grips, a few wee cuts on the ends.
They are the GE1 model I believe, so flat - not with the palm rest.

I had a good search - thought I had a scrap XTR shifter with clutch but must already have been chucked. Sorry, no clutch mechs.... :sad:

Hi all...

Am trying to go bearfoot running/walking. Some people say barefoot and others would even say it's not pure barefoot if you've got shoes on :o

Anyway, got these and popped em in the running shoes and then hardly used em. https://www.shoeinsoles.co.uk/sorbothan ... soles.html

Now Ive5found my new barefoot calling and checked on these lovely insoles and they have a heel to toe drop even though they don't look it. I got the UK10 and haven't cut em down. They're fresh enough that they could be passed off as brandnew (and I can't actually remember using them as I don't even know if they're any good)... Look very well made and I'll stop with the sales pitch as they're not actually for sale. Feel free to feed bear if you managed to save on postage and/or you like em.

If taker could, then postage at your end would be appreciated but I'll try and drop in person if able. Ta for looking.

Can anyone save any of these fine and useful items before they find their way to the bin?
If so, they can come your way for the cost of postage.

First up is a frame bag - bit random, it's a practice piece from before I made my proper frame bag and is just scraps of material, so not waterproof. It's functional though - might be useful for a child, or just to leave on a pub bike?
50cm along the top tube, 35cm along the seat post
Image

Elite bottle cage mounts. Two pairs of these, one used, and cut down for a fairly skinny tubed frame, and one new.
Image
Image

Some somewhat scruffy but definitely still functional knee pads - medium or large?
Image

Exped pump. No longer needed as I use a pump bag
Image

The finest high viz fleecy buff in the land - I've ended up with two of these, and only have one neck (maybe I'll make a pair of shorts if there's no takers? :lol: )
Image

On One cross top levers
Image

Short drop V-brake - for your drop bar retro MTB conversion needs
Image

Basic Shimano brakes. I believe these suffered from the common micro leak problem, but I'm sure there's a fix for that if someone has the time, or maybe the levers would be useful to someone.

I could make use of the frame bag, I will take it and list some things up on here in exchange.

Pm me over a PayPal address and I’ll send some tokens for postage/beer/whatever

I have my Osprey Raptor. Buckles are a bit knackered so could do with renewing but other than that it's ace. If anyone wants to try and renew the buckles (it's a bitore involved than you'd think and I don't wanna put rubbish buckles on) and is willing donate a few quid to one of my charity projects (Afghanistan and now the Pakistan earthquake) then it could come your way.

Pics coming up if anyone interested :smile:

I forgot to add this: map board from my MTBO days. MYOG, but not by me. Just a sheet of lightweight rigid foam board, a pipe clip (diameter 28mm approx), and some bungee cords.

Hi mate,

How much capacity does it have? Could it fit a laptop?(small roughly A4 paper sized or regular 13")
I have an osprey talon 10 and when I decide to use it, I'm always wanting for slightly more space. Mainly so I don't have to spend 3 minutes compressing every item in there whenever something goes in or out.

Hi Ben, hopw you're well. It's an 18L but I doubt it would fit an a4 laptop. Are you local enough to me? If so you could easily try it for size. I'm hoping to upgrade soon to the 26L but if no-one takes this then I'll just upgrade/renew the buckles myself.

Here's a link to what I have https://youtu.be/Bsfqhs4ElQI

Its the chest and belt strap buckles that are broken. All shoulder strap and synching down buckles are still in very good condition IMO...

NB. It's the red version (not green as in the vid).






Edit: Soz about the Chris Froome ad before the vid - really do wish he and many other celeb folk would stop with the sports washing of Israels apartheid system/crimes.

Some Vittoria Mezcal 27.5 × 2.6. Too slippery for my needs. Ridden less than 40 miles probably.

Postage at cost and whatever someone wishes to donate (preferably to my notEveresting for Afghanistan page but happy for plan Bs). Pics on request and it'll ptobably have one last outing tomorrow maybe...
