Fed up of running my fat bike tyres on the "thumb press" method I decided I needed a decent pressure gauge.

Mr Postman just delivered a new nice shiny Topeak D2 Smart Head Digital Pressure Gauge

First check and I was running them at 6psi front and 5psi rear... no wonder I've been having some crappie trail ride of late, ha !!! :grin:

12 litres of bio-ethanol. I've tried a pop can stove-full. It makes much less smell than standard maths.

And a complete set of rear shock bearings for my full susser.

An Alpkit Hunka XL and a Stem Cell.

Hopefully the former will let me use inflatable sleep mat, sleeping bag and quilt inside the bag so being somewhat more integrated than at present. Not used a Stem Cell before so that's an experiment.

More goodies from Howies arrived yesterday

Cycling related ones are bib tights and LS jersey

I'm probably somewhere between M-L but they only comes in S/M or L/XL. Went for the latter, it isn't quite roadie tight (which is what I was hoping for) but the sleeves are the right length at least!

The tights are VERY stretchy!

weird/luxury one this, but I just got a pair of these in the post:

http://barefootbritain.co.uk/products/o ... dable-shoe

I hate having wet feet at night and always change into spare socks overnight. Plan to try these as camp shoes so I can get out of wet riding shoes. They may do for the odd river crossing, too. They fold up to nothing! I reckon they're about 200g.

They also make you look like some sort of pixie with a rubber fetish :oops:
