Postie brought one of the new Wildcat Fat Lion handlebar harnesses after I saw it in Stu's blog. It was one of those "My God I must have it" moments. I can't remember the last time I ordered something so quick. Thanks Beth.

Plus a Surly rabbit hole and 3" Knard for the front of the Stooge

[Taylor]

A new skinny tyre and some spacers for the rear sprocket.

Some lovely new carbon tent pegs of ebay for £6.50

http://www.rutalocura.com/Tent_Stakes.html

Tempted to buy some direct as they are quite cheap until you factor in the postage which is £10 for 8 pegs that weigh under 50g

Just got my new Krampus.
First impression is how light it is compared with other 29er.
Forgot to order peddles doh so have to wait for first outing.

Aye, I must admit to a little surprise. When Burty first got his, I picked it up, then spent the next fortnight standing like Rigsby.

[Cheeky Monkey]

I Bet his other bikes an On One ;-)

[Charliecres]

You can get a lot of helium in a Knard

[RobMac]

A pair of XTR hubs AND yet another set of brake pads (one of the problems with running several bikes).

[Joshvegas]

Many many bits over the last two weeks to create this as a second bike.



Its really a spare for a couple of female friends to use so its got my racewheels for easy climbing.

Very similar delivery here. But white pads for xt brakes. I don't expect the compound I chose to last that long!

Also received an xx1 shifter and rear mech. Just need to save up for a cassette now!

[burty]

its finally here cuben fibre trekker tent ,

[Bearbonesnorm]

Very nice Burty ... does it muffle out the sounds of someone with cramp at 3 in the morning?

You'll be wanting some carbon poles to finish it off now

[burty]

I don't think it will muffle out sounds of a cramping leg ,
Now if I had of paid the full price then you never know, you get what you pay for
carbon poles is next on the list how much for 2 one 110 cm and 70 cm.

[Bearbonesnorm]

Oddly, I've just this very minute finished a pair for a Stealth 2 ... too long for you though.

70cm in 2 section and 110cm in 3 section - £53 delivered. Folded lengths would be 38cm and 39.5cm but other options are available should you want them shorter.

[burty]

the poles would be about 5 cm longer than they should be but I usually dig the into the ground a bit to hold them in place ,
but it means I can use them with the tarp tent as well ,
will paypal gift be ok . if so I will flirt it over later tonight

[mountainbaker]

Got new cassette, chain and Absolute Black 32t thick/thin wibbly/wobbly ring. All fitted, will ride tomorrow to test.
