Replacement cap from Roll for the Soul in Bristol because I broke the elastic on my other one. Well worth a visit for food, coffee, beer, bike servicing if you're in Bristol.
Also a small Ti frying pan from China which looks to be just the job!
Not pictured a Monkii V cage from Bearbones towers arrived the other day as well.

Sorry about the 'experimental' packaging ... I remembered the fuel bottle after I'd parceled the poles upA fuel bottle and a pair of custom length poles for my tarp, thanks to Stuart for the excellent service

2 x Salsa anything cage HDs from Charlie the Bikemonger.
Not so much a gravel grinder.... more a gravel (mud and tarmac) groveller...
Re: The post man's been ...
I was impressed with the packaging, everything was packed with no spare space to rattle around in. Much better than the big on-line bike part suppliers who use a 'standard' box for everything. I once bought the wife a pair of anodised ally valve caps for Christmas (I know I spoil her ) and they came in a large cardboard box, just two tiny presta valve caps!Bearbonesnorm wrote: Sorry about the 'experimental' packaging ...

A proper frisbee - Discraft Ultra Star, which is the official frisbee for Ultimate Frisbee... oh wait, wrong forum
A mylar emergency bivy bag. Haven't opened it out yet but it's pretty small and will be good for my pack for day trips. Like the AMK heatsheets one, but without the orange and a lot cheaper.

Not strictly a visit from the postman, more the culmination of several, but I finally put the tyre on and fitted the front of my new wheels. The rear has admittedly been on for a while!
Velocity blunt SS on a superstar ultra lite- with disc it's knocked ~120g off compared to the hope on arch it replaces. Not bad, considering it was mostly an excuse to have another go at wheel building.
Benp, do you play a lot? My sister and brother in law are pretty involved I think, they're looking forward to worlds

Can't compete with that.....nanosim for my new phone.
Re: The post man's been ...
Not at all, though I'd like to. There's a few teams nearby but don't really have time for that unfortunately. Wanted a frisbee that was actually good, rather than the flimsy brittle pound shop style ones, so it was fun playing. Wouldn't mind giving Ultimate Frisbee a go though!mat_swan wrote:Benp, do you play a lot? My sister and brother in law are pretty involved I think, they're looking forward to worlds

Re: The post man's been ...

ive bought a cheapo through charging buffer battery though as it just makes sense for touring.
post man brought me
Anyone need any riv nuts ?

Re: The post man's been ...
Im fitting an m10 riv nut in the bulkhead of my landrover for the steering column brackets as per factory as my current nut is a nightmare to fit/hold as its almost blind.
No one i know locally has a tool capible of doing it and a bolt spacer nut set up just laughed got laughed At by an m10 riv nut.

Re: The post man's been ...
Postie brought me a new 10speed kmc chain, mine completely snapped during a ride. My own fault as it had been repaired too many times so the pins couldn't hold
New one fit perfectly and much quieter drive.
Postie didn't bring this but picked up a cheap bike work stand from Lidl, just something to help with maintenance but looks alright for the money
Also got a thermos water bottle, stainless steel and a nice spring lid cap to stop sheep crap getting on the drink nozzle

An Ocelot from Wildcat. Fits a treat, and should be perfect for those 2 day rides where a full frame bag is too much, and pockets too little.
Re: The post man's been ...
New SLX cassette and chain from merlin....£35 the pair..bargain!
I stupidly forgot to measure the wear on the last one, and it's probably ruined the cassette as well.....the Spearfish is due a little maintenance anyway, as it's been neglected since the Stache 5 turned up!
