Bargain. I've got a trek fuel ex (9) too. Lovely bike, does tend to eat bearings though, and there are a lot of them!

One of the reasons I no longer have a full susser. He better start saving his pocket money..

[Zippy]

Zippy, what's a pair of nice XTR shifters worth?

I'm sure they'd be happier on a bike than in my spares drawer.

Mr Matt, I sent you a PM (I think). Have I not sent it, you not got it, you've sent me a reply that I've missed, or something like that?

Gwyn the post brought me a pair of these, not had chance to try them yet as I've spent the last 2 days coaching members of a rather elite regiment ... I can't say anymore or I'd have to kill you, however they must have been very hot in their special headwear

An eBay purchase showed up whilst I was out visiting the good folk at keep pedalling (collecting tyres for the gaffer for l erocia)
Nice Chris king sprocket.

Gwyn the post delivered a custom tarp this morning. While most 'single' tarps have a length of 2.2m - 2.4m this one is 2.8m long which gives much more coverage when set up as a half 'mid. Tips the scales @ 235g inc lines and stuff sack.

Apologies for the shoddy set-up but I was excited and rushing.

[FLV]

Thats very light for the size stu. Lighter than my small Borah one

[Bearbonesnorm]

Thats very light for the size stu.

It's lighter than I expected, I was thinking it'd be nearer 300g considering it's got 3 mid-point tie-outs.

Obviously been a PORG helps with the coverage but I'd say even a 6 footer could fit without head or feet touching the sides ... something you can't do under the more usual lengths.

a pair of these ,and a hope seat clamp

Got myself a new track pump the other day - a Lezyne alloy dirt drive, or summat. Seems to have a lot more oomph than my tired old Joe Blow anyway.

Today, some new Bikepacking shoes*

*if such a classification exists...

Edit: also over 200g lighter than my old Shimano ones, which is a pleasant surprise.

I'm also a Shimano 41, but was advised by zigrat to size up, which I did and a size 42 is a perfect fit.

quite a few things this week ,but more to come

[Yorlin]

ah, very nice!! Pics when its all together please!

[Mart]

That's looking very nice even before it's built up.

[mountainbaker]

Got a Revelate Viscacha delivered yesterday, wow, massive capacity, really stable, plus the mesh pocket that goes on top behind the saddle, really handy. No more dry bag faffing.

[Ray Young]

Panaracer comet 29" 2.1 hardback tyre from Evans for my forthcoming borders 300 miler. I did order the 2.25 which was £17.99, they sent me the 2.1 which should have cost £26.99 so I have saved some cash as I'm happy with the skinnier tyre. Gonna put that on the back and a 2.2 race king on the front which I already have. .

[Gari]

Thanks to Tommid I have a new frame to build up. Anyone have a silver 50-80mm/0-6deg Thomson stem they want rid of?

[burty]

put together a new single speed ,
it will only come out a few times a year as the krampus is my first choice,
