Well not quite the postie, but I’ve just had the email from the best bike shop on the planet, to say my new wheels are ready.
Can’t wait to pick them up at the weekend

My tailfin aeropack arrived this week. Now to sell the 15 litre saddlebag or keep it for a bit, that is the question.

I've also just received a tailfin package. It's a nice thing but undoubtedly pricey and far from perfect. I think I actually prefer my Carradice Audax and bagman support. There's a bit more capacity in the tailfin though which is the main reason I bought it. Hopefully it works well for your needs

Use saddle bag as a bar bag?

With a couple of 2L Altura Dry fork bags:

Seem well made and £30 for a pair seemed a decent price...plus there was a newly tagged summer Castelli headband stuck to one of the velcro straps which should come in handy once it warms up a little! Makes a change from little packets of Haribo...

My Trekkertent Stealth 1.5 that I ordered in mid November has arrived. Hope to use for March bam.

... and dropped off some replacement bearings for my X-Tracks. Thanks to Sean for letting me know what ones I needed!

A pair of Skins Series 5 Travel/Recovery tights to wear after exercise in my normal Skins from https://www.sportsshoes.com/

They are 70% or rrp and if you order 2 skins products you get another 20% off the total order.

I've uses https://www.sportsshoes.com/ tiwce now for the Speedgoats and the skins. Zero issues and they have arrive next day each time. I'll certainly look at them first next time I need sports gear.

With one of them WTB Nano tyres off the bargain alert thread. Actually paid £3 more than that offer as they'd gone up by the time I got my a**se into gear

The gravel wankerising continues...

Some spangly sram carbon cranks, new second hand for my brand new bike that comes this week but comes with 175mm cranks, it's a Trek Super Caliber if anyone is interested, I'm beyond excited

[Boab]

... and dropped off a tubeless inflater, cleats, an inner tube and some lobster gloves. After my home made inflater exploded last year, I started to build another one, but just couldn't shake the feeling that I'd be safer with a proper one. I would also like to get back to riding before work, but I'm also done with cold fingers. So rather than falling into the sunk cost fallacy with my existing Assos setup, I've decided to try something different. It's not like I don't have capacity to carry three pairs of gloves on rides or anything.

A general selection from Magic Mountain.com (Beeston, Notts).discount (Code MMRF10)
General active wear Sprayway polygiene T shirt &Compass pro shorts.
And and a ME windsock. Sleeping pad pump bag.
-You blow in from a foot away and it draws a larger amount of air in by entrainment ...
So it claims... And appears to work..ok

First impressions positive, it's more compact than then last one...but the attached pad stuff sack is noisy . Blame Russell.

A dinky Pro preset torque tool - i've been having issues with bars slipping and been fancying a torque wrench for a while so thought I'd give it a whirl.

....with a new vacuum cleaner. Rock and Roll.....

I love vacuum cleaners. Is it a Miele (my wife hates em... unappreciating silly cow - one day I'll get her, not 'us' cos I'll not use that expensive rubbish) a Dyson then she can appreciate my Miele... Last one did about 13 years with lots of brick dust before it died of it... This one is second hand with a washable filter so brick dust just gets washed out...

What'd you get (pls not a Dyson).

Edit: soz for the sentence structure... Got carried away... You know what I mean hopefully...

[fatbikephil]

Defo not a Dyson (yet another evil scheming meglomaniac as a CEO, plus he sold out to China)
Got a Happy Henry on the recommendation of a mate, made in UK and complete with smiley face

A lovely box arrived today from the best bike shop on the planet.
New wheels - can wait to get them rolling

A change from the bike parts that seem to turn up on an almost daily basis here:

[faustus]

The one I've been waiting for: did a C2W parts and accessories splash out, so a disappointingly small box arrived this morning (considering the combined value!). It sets me up with some lovely stuff to last a long time, plus some very nice replacement consumables.

Highlights include extremely nice MT905 rotors, Osprey waterproof backpack, Ortlieb fork bags and saddle bag, nice 10spd cassette and chain, GRX 812 mech, bulk size tubeless sealant and shimano mineral oil, and a selection of nice tyres.
