My shiny new BB pole which gives me about 5 different length combos. Allowing for plenty options for the next stage purchase (the actual shelter bit
)

Re: The post man's been ...
And dropped off a hope RX4 caliper, I picked up a copy of the new cyclist off-road magazine and there was an advert for these four pot calipers designed to work with sram dropbar shifters. I’m hoping for better feel and modulation. I’ve never been entirely happy despite multiple pad and disk combinations.
Just the front for now, I’d they deliver I’ll pop one on the rear, at £70 it’s cheaper than upgrading to a force setup which I suspect would only be lighter.
Much as I love my woodchippers they do limit brake choices.

And dropped off a Big Agnes Flycreek High Volume UL1 ... longest name for a tent I've ever owned and certainly the most expensive.
I'm just going outside ...

27mm tubeless tape. I'm now setting up my Pro-lite rims and the Nano 40Cs. Tape is by Slime. Looks like a slightly thinner version of Stans

And delivered an OMM Kamleika Smock in a rather fetching bright red . It’s a little snug but not obscene, I went with the XL, XXL would have given me the extra room but too long arms.

Which way? I’ve a RAB wind top which is a perfect fit, I’m big chest but only 5’8” I’ve wondered if women’s clothes might be a better fit for me.

Agree, RAB arm length is good. Montane and recent Berghaus higher end kit pretty good too. Under armour compression base layers have really good arm and leg length. Also found Haglofs to be excellent for trousers, pricey thoughBigdummySteve wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2019 10:35 pmWhich way?

A pack of two of those Angled Turbo Lighters Stu recommended for getting my meths to light and 4 Fixplus straps in what I thought would be Bikepacking Red but are a curious shade of Salmon pink.

A horn thumb ring - yes, like a cock ring but hopefully smaller.

Re: The post man's been ...
A cumulus 150 quilt. Bit nippy over night just now to use it but dead cost wrapped round me on the sofa 

Re: The post man's been ...
Do they do versions that are bells as well?
You speak for yourself, hopefully not too much smaller, I've got quite big thumbs or is it a small.... nevermind

The postman brought me some more bum butter, stans fluid and some tyre plugs.
Also a Hope 160 to 180 brake adapter. The xt one I currently use has 2 long bolts that go right through it and into the fork. The Hope one bolts on with 2 short bolts and the the calliper bolts to it with 2 more short bolts. This way all the m6 bolts on the bike are the same length so a single spare covers replacing any missing bolt.

Got an Garmin Etrex to Edge mount converter. Seems to be a good tight fit. https://www.shapeways.com/product/XF3QS ... arketplace
