Postie brought one of the new Wildcat Fat Lion handlebar harnesses after I saw it in Stu's blog. It was one of those "My God I must have it" moments. I can't remember the last time I ordered something so quick. Thanks Beth.

Some lovely new carbon tent pegs of ebay for £6.50

http://www.rutalocura.com/Tent_Stakes.html

Tempted to buy some direct as they are quite cheap until you factor in the postage which is £10 for 8 pegs that weigh under 50g

Forgot to order peddles doh so have to wait for first outing.

Aye, I must admit to a little surprise. When Burty first got his, I picked it up, then spent the next fortnight standing like Rigsby.

Very similar delivery here. But white pads for xt brakes. I don't expect the compound I chose to last that long!

Also received an xx1 shifter and rear mech. Just need to save up for a cassette now!

Very nice Burty ... does it muffle out the sounds of someone with cramp at 3 in the morning? :wink:

You'll be wanting some carbon poles to finish it off now :-bd

Oddly, I've just this very minute finished a pair for a Stealth 2 ... too long for you though.

70cm in 2 section and 110cm in 3 section - £53 delivered. Folded lengths would be 38cm and 39.5cm but other options are available should you want them shorter.

but it means I can use them with the tarp tent as well ,
