Well done Mr Uddite, 26 is not dead
Oh, and p.s. I too have received some end-of-an-era bits from Wildcat, usual great service.

We go out into the hills to lose ourselves, not to get lost. You are only lost if you need to be somewhere else and if you really need to be somewhere else then you're probably in the wrong place to begin with.

Sigh, there's always someone who has to lower the tone of the place isn't there?
(To be scrupulously fair, it's usually me)

Re: The post man's been ...
.... 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'm just going outside ...

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
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
or ready made custard, or ambrosia... in fact all of those sort of things I crave on big rides

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

The opening on the top is 25mm dia so I'm planning on getting a funnel and seeing how I get on.benp1 wrote: That's a good idea!

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.
