"Who threw that stone? Come on".

" She did"
"[low voices]He did. He. Him [/low voices]"

Well done Mr Uddite, 26 is not dead :-bd


Oh, and p.s. I too have received some end-of-an-era bits from Wildcat, usual great service.

And brought me an Aiguille frame bag. Great customer service and my template made out of Weetabix boxes was sized correctly!

.... and dropped off some of Stu's new Bow Tie strap anchors. They will happily fit upside down and attach to my Fatty's bottle cage braze ons, but they're not in precisely the position I want them, so we will be performing some minor surgery this evening, and giving the bike three new holes on the underside of the top tube for some rivnuts. That will be fun. And then I guess I'm gonna to buy another set of Bow Ties ....

I don’t use Flickr and if it’s more complicated than clicking on my phone probably not.
If it helps I ordered a red one then changed my mind to black. They rang me up to offer red stitching and zips if I wanted it on the black bag.Also rang me again to query delivery instructions for safety of delivery. All very much appreciated. Got it in less than a week.
You could message direct to them or hope a more computer literate person reads this and posts, sorry.

A box of 20 Tommee Tippee 'express and go' breast milk pouches :shock:

These are just over 180ml, food-safe and sterile, and have a reasonably wide screw top which means I think I've found a way to take Muller rice on rides :grin: or ready made custard, or ambrosia... in fact all of those sort of things I crave on big rides :-bd

That's a good idea!

How are you planning to fill them without mess and any thoughts on cleaning?

Look around for a jam maker's funnel, has a wide neck to allow thicker consistency foodstuffs through.

The opening on the top is 25mm dia so I'm planning on getting a funnel and seeing how I get on.

As for cleaning, I might try washing them out, they're clear so I can see if they're clean. At £7 for 20 that's only 35p each and I'll probably use less a year than a baby would in a day, so I might just rinse them and put them in the recycling.
