The postman's been and claims there was no one in (bol#%*ks) I want my new tyres!
Re: The post man's been ...
A nice little restrap frame bag...I went for the small, as it will fit three of my bikes :0)
Re: The post man's been ...
He's finally arrived with my new tyres! Hans Dampf Evo trailstar for the front and a Rock Razor Evo pacestar for the rear. Hopefully a lot less sliding around on those muddy commutes now.
Re: The post man's been ...
Some wrist warmers - but the stitching has come undone on the seams so they'll be going back
Also, not in the post, but picked up from a shop - a pair of Scarpa SL Active boots. Proper 4 season boots to replace my old and knackered Meindl Burmas, which are 3 season and not crampon compatible

Re: The post man's been ...
Always losing stuff (yes I know, marbles went years ago), tarp peg now sojourning near Harlech somewhere, so set of Alpkit 15g red alu pegs today. Bizarrely didn't lose any 6g Ti ones which are harder to see. No longer lose keys since attach plenty of junk to them. Only one actual (door)key on this "ring". Needless to say it doesn't go BP-ing.

Re: The post man's been ...
My Enlightened Revelate quilt turned up today, that was a long 7 weeks!
It's flipping lovely!
Does kipping out on my decking tonight count as a bivi?

Stu, All a bit of a faff really. Exposure referred me to Ison. Ison referred me to Exposure....Bearbonesnorm wrote:How did you go about getting that done Andy? So far Exposure have just ignored my attempts to make contact with themMy exposure hub back from repair in Taiwan by SP.
Somehow, I'm not really sure how, SP hubs got into the email chain and 'wanted to help'. If they couldn't repair it they would replace it. I just had to post it to them in Taiwan (£14 insured with the post office). Took a week to get there, arrived with them Friday. They posted it DHL Monday and back yesterday all sorted.
I'll PM you the guys email at SP, Vic Chen.

Postie dropped this off a couple of weeks back direct from Salsa HQ and despite it being a fat bike, I doubt it'll be too slow

Re: The post man's been ...
You can answer me a question Jeff - what's the damping feel like on the rear shock? Noticeably stiff and does it have high and low speed compression damping?

Re: The post man's been ...
I've only had the chance to ride it a couple if times, once on the Beast at CyB and a little local spin on the Great Orme. Fantastic for descending and the same when climbing wit no grip lost.Bearbonesnorm wrote:You can answer me a question Jeff - what's the damping feel like on the rear shock?

It's a Rockshox Monarch RT3 rear shock which has adjustment on it.
Still got to get back to this type of riding though, it's been a while......

A nearly new wildcat lion from atk arrived yesterday, very pleased with my new purchase should fit the Jones bars better than the alpkit harness :)
