...left me a Cane Creek eeSilk+ seatpost, for the Silk Road. Thankfully arrived just before had to go for me Covid booster!
Re: The post man's been ...
Another seat post clamp. The bolt up one on my full sus just randomly broke! Very strange, must have been stressed but hadn’t been adjusted in absolutely ages. Was fine when I put it away and not when I went to ride it
Re: The post man's been ...
Dropped off a rather fetching Outdry in the bright white colourway. It might look pretty grubby very quickly but for £50ish quid delivered, one mustn't grumble.
I suspect there will be plenty opportunity to test it in the coming weeks

Re: The post man's been ...
Dropped off some XL bike hooks the other. Means I can fit my 29+ tyre/rim into it, which wouldn't play nicely with normal hooks.
It's the only part I've purchased for my new bike rack. The rest is made some wood from pallets and some bits I had knocking about. Holds 2 bikes (plus spare wheels) and they can slide left and right for access if needed.
Really pleased with it, rock solid and totally removable. Was going to buy a bike rack but couldn't find exactly what I needed for the space I have to keep my most used bikes

A long thin package from a very nice person somewhere in Wales, meaning henceforth again I'll be able to sleep without my shelter touching my nose. Nanolight(TM) 48g version as well, lovely.

Starting from last week, OS map and a highlighter…

...and dropped off a battered box containing a couple of pedal rebuild kits, pair of Giro DND gloves, KMC chain, 2 Rohloff sprokets, four pairs of brake pads and a rear disc from Bike Discount in Germany. Even after paying the P&P, VAT and "handling fee" it was still cheaper than getting it from 5 different suppliers in the UK.

...and brought my Cycling UK membership card. I've been meaning to put my money where my mouth is and support some cycling advocacy, and I had to set up a new direct debit to screw some money out of HSBC switching bank accounts, so it seemed appropriate to stick some of that money towards CUK. Win-win.

A box of BB jerseys which are now packaged up and will be hitting the post office tomorrow.

...with one of these from CRC: https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mob ... prod208955
Fohn Polartec Neoshell waterproof, allegedly made from recycled bits and offcuts....Best bit was I was able to use the CLEAR2020 code so got it for £65. Would say fit is "generous", not active, but at the price i'm not complaining. Looks like they have few left in Medium at the sale price, or £150 for the non-repurposed versions

An Exposure Maxx D - black Friday purchase as it had 35%off. I knew my old (probably 2010) MaxxD's days were numbered when after 20 minutes on high on the BB300 it started flashing and going to low power. The new one is fantastic (bathroom test only as apart from mentioning it here, it's a complete secret from the chief breadwinner)

Re: The post man's been ...
First "secret" Christmas present, which accidentally fell into the wrong hands and got opened....oops....
One of those fancy aeros pillows, which had been so warmly recommended to me... until Reg just posted this week that he doesn't like it much...
Mr Z has now put it away somewhere safe for the big day, which is almost guaranteed to mean that he won't be able to find it, and it'll turn about around May....
