After three punctures this week on the commute bike, some new 28mm tyres. Let’s see how they feel compared to 23mm :grin:

Some Rockshox socks too from my Raleigh tour, so not really from the postie and lots of NAMED nutrition stuff too :-bd

A lomo seatpack. Seems to be a sturdy bit of kit at a budget price. Cheers for the recommendation Stu. :-bd

2 Giant 750ml pourfast bottles ehich seen to be playing nicely with my Alpamayo framebag on the Earnie (the road bike)..

2 BB fork cages at a rip off price from one of the forum members (thanks Loki)...

Pair of Giant bar ends which will go inboard on Earnies carbon Nukeproof bars and hopefully add some extra hand postion (can't really go at the ends as the bars are alrrady wide enough without having extra furniture sat there or trying to grip said furniture)... :grin:

Most fun I ever had on a boat around the west coast of Scotland was on a Wayfarer and sailed a lot of things from Assymetric sleds to 40 ft Halberg Rasseys. Amazing that people sail wayfarers across the north sea.

A new MSR Standard Pump (see the Blast from the Past thread). That were quick! I only ordered it at 4pm yesterday! Also in the box was a new windshield and heat reflector set which I didn't realise it came with. The pump does fit the threads in my MSR fuel bottle so that's a bonus :grin:

I got it from SummitToSea and it came via Royal Mail. Surprised me with how quick it was processed and delivered.

Bit of a haul this month, postie delivered a pair of 2.4” X-Kings for me and a set of 26” gearx barro’s in tubeless flavour for my boy’s bike. One ride along the cut and he’s already flatted the tube setup.
The Fargo will also get new disks/pads due to warped disks and horrifically noisy pads. While I’m at it I’ll also fit a longer front hose, I really should have done that before I bled them last week

Big air cooled Kwack and Suzuki motors were the mainstay of my 'career' for nearly 20 years Dave. I recall a Z650 was also the first bike I ever got featured in a magazine too, so I have a bit of a soft spot.

My post vanished bizarre, today the postman brought a Mountain hardware spark doss bag thanks for the info all.
Also then picked up a thermarest neoair xlite and grabbed a rab bag liner to help bag last a bit longer between washes as it's my first down I want it to last
Also got a trangia 27 kettle and chopping board as I love my trangia ;)

Tiny but rather exciting package here - pawl springs for a hope XC Hub - final part in my mid-life crisis trials bike... Not ridden trials in many years, I think it's going to be a steep learning curve again!

Not the postie, but an excellent member of this forum delivered most of a CX bike groupset which will lead to wholesale bike re-building and shuffling about. Ta! Probably also ta from MrsE as she can watch telly in peace on Sunday evening while I tinker away.
