Ooh I'm a bit concerned now about John's tyres ... how do you decide when it's 'course' gravel or not and what happens if the degree of gravelyness alters while riding?

[thenorthwind]

Dangle your fine gravel tyres from your seatpack?

A bumper crop yesterday:

- a Kask Mojito from Tredz (I’ve been looking out for a medium-sized bargain for ages).

- a 27.2 Brand-X dropper for the Stooge. This will hopefully play nicely with a Rockgeist Gondola I’ve just ordered from the States.

- some Uberbike disc pads.

[thenorthwind]

Not the postman, but picked up some bike-related stuff while I was at Screwfix:
A pair of those Showa waterproof gloves people keep talking about
Two pairs of Bolle safety specs for keeping mud/rain/hail/midges out of my eyes, clear and orange, £7 each
A big can of brake cleaner

Also since 29er tubes from the bike shop having found that the valve lockring thread on my spare one is way too short for any normal rim, so I can't get my pump on and it's therefore useless

[Bearbonesnorm]

An Alpkit PoleStar for review. Just doing my best to convince Ruby that we both can't fit in it.

Kask (and Uber) are really good exp to deal with. Mate donated me a Kask recently and some of the gel pads behind the head were worn. Couldn't find any anywhere. Emailed KASK uk and they're sending me some out FOC. Made it Italy too and highly reviewed (AFAIK). I know what helmet I'll be getting when I next need to spend my money on one...

Hope it lasts you well and lots of joy brought

[ScotRoutes]

I have two Kasks now. The Rex was a bit of a punt and I've found its a really good fit for my head. Nicely finished etc. I recently bought a Mojito for #gradventouring and it's just as nice.

[Charliecres]

Yup, wore the Mojito for the first time today and it qualifies as the most comfortable helmet I’ve owned.

[benp1]

On my second Mojito. Crashed in my first one and it died, saved my head though. HVE been using them for years, they're ace

Mine came with the union jack on it. The daughter and me spend the aft swapping it over to the Palestine flag... like you do..

with this current spell of excellent summer weather, I can decide it I bought this seasons too late or 2 seasons too early. Gore phantom jkt in red, so I don't clash with Shaf! it the one with zip off raglan sleeves so they don't chaff under your arms. I genius..
knowing the fickle UK weather I wearing it the week after next...
it is very good nick and change from & £50, ebay.
Bargain thread already tip always but out of season
(or fashion- before it's retro chic-vintage)

If its the same jacket you upgraded the zip for me on, they're fantastical. Congrats

[BigdummySteve]

After three months of searching and cancelled orders I finally got my grubby hands on a crank brothers dropbar remote for my dropper, it’s life changing I can now lower the saddle from the drops or hoods. My life is complete.

Some Uberbike brake pads as spares for a couple of bikes but more exciting, a comprehensive selection of windshields for my various meths stoves (thanks Stu, they came really quickly).

[thenorthwind]

Two pairs of gloves from Sport Pursuit, one with fingers, one without. The latter a women's XL - they seem to fit and can't work out how they'd be different so

I was told that Ladies Endura gloves are the same as the mens but marked one size larger (so a Medium Mens becomes a Large Ladies).

Yep I know..
(I'm waiting for it to cool down, later rather than sooner, then happy miles. )

I can believe it.

Sadly they're grey with a bit of yellow, I'd quite like some pink ones.

You're joking.... how do you do it JC? .

The seat harness is very light in LS21 isn't it. You kicking your Acepac gear into touch now you have a lighter racier new squeeze?

[Robster]

A screech of tyres, door swung open and box placed by the door, before the Amazon delivery driver flew off to his next stop....

New Fuji XP140 waterproof camera to replace the one in Torquay harbour...

Whoops and yippee. Maybe a floating strap this time.

Cheers
