Mine came from eBay

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bicycle-Pres ... 2749.l2649

I've not fitted them yet so can't confirm the fit etc. but it's a nut, what's to go wrong :smile:

I did consider the Problem Solvers Big P Nuts

https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/tyres-tubes ... -big-pnut/

But at £10 a pair I couldn't bring myself to spend that much.

I use the Super P-nuts on my fatbike. The single wall rim means that most tubeless valves don't seal. The Super P-nuts have an indentation on the rim side for the valve seal to fit into.

Ooohh, I'd forgotten about those Stu :-bd . However, I find I usually / eventually lose any tool smaller than an 18" monkey wrench unless it's physically attached / stuck in me :wink:

A copy of 'Beavers in Wales' ... bit disappointed, turns out it's actually about beavers in Wales.

As someone whose keen on wildlife and wants a career in countryside management I follow a lot of wildlife groups on FB. I can’t help but post a picture of Leslie Nielson on every post about beavers

That's a good shout.

I once mail ordered a publication called 'Big Jugs' but it turns out it was all about Roman Amphora :lol:

A stem mount for my new Exposure light. Reassuringly expensive like the light! :roll:

The one that bolts onto the front of the stem with replacement bolts. I have two of the normal Exposure handlebar mounts but my gravel bike now has weird riser drops on (Genetic Driser 16s) which have very limited space on the tops (due to the rise) so I decided that the stem mount would be a good option. It's very nice like all Exposure stuff and is a very neat solution but a bit pricey for what it is.

Thanks, I have some Ritchey venturemax bars which also have very limited 'land' to mount stuff.

I wondered if that mount might let the light 'see' over the top of a handlebar bag?

I think it'd depend on your bar bag set up. I must admit when I fitted the light mount it did strike me that it might be a possible fringe benefit. I'll take a piccie and post it to give you some idea of what it looks like in situ. BRB.

I think the bag would need to be quite low for the light bracket to clear it. Here's the bracket on my bike anyway.

Nice one, good to see how that looks.

I cant help but wonder if a nice bracket from the mounts on my fork crown would make good use of that

Aforementioned Exped HL Synmat just arrived.

Ah it's got the new style non-slip surface like the HL pillow. Includes the Schnozzel bag these days too, although I prefer to pump with the UL Pillowpump.

365g - 7g heavier than my previous one. Sigh, I'll have to trim that 7g somewhere else now or it'll throw my luggage weight distribution right out of whack otherwise.

To settle the discussion elsewhere, smallprint: "warranty 2 years on materials and workmanship".

Well this is exciting news, I may have to postpone my morning bike ride so as not to miss any potential deliveries! :grin:

Same here

Thank goodness it was 2mm shorter than previously otherwise there's no way it would have fit through my letterbox

Thanks Stu

Mag looks great. I'm a sucker for a nicely printed magazine with good photography, and they make really good presents for the right people too.
