Alpkit Joey hidden under there. Prepping for a ride around the YD300 course this weekend with my sis and her BF.

An Alps sized cassette & chain, a rear mech for my winter 1x8 commuter and where others send Haribo Ton sends, even more chewy, bar grips 
Cheers Ton

Complete SS drivetrain (stainless chainring, KMC chain and wide-base Groove Armada sprocket) for £32 in the On-One sale. Can't be bad.

I've used the Moonlite on its own a fair few times with a down bag and no issues. The drawstring can be a bit annoying but other than that it's a really good bag.Ray Young wrote:Terra Nova Moonlite bivi bag thanks to atk. 99.9% of my bivi's are under a tarp so this is just what I wanted.

It didn't arrive today or in a single parcel but the Postie gradually delivered this. Out with the Spearfish and in with the Cooker Ti.

Cheers. I'm pleased with it now as it's built up but I spent so long accumulating bits I was worried I'd have gone off it before it was even assembled!Charliecres wrote:Lovin' the Longitude and the Cooker

Fabric are part of Charge (I looked it up after thinking the saddle names were a bit familiar!). Good book!RobMac wrote:A Fabric saddle (new name to me), FSA head set (met green) and a new Jiu-Jitsu gi (its a beauty)

A Garmin Edge Touring. Slowly getting used to it's failings. It'll be fine on the road bike for following downloaded routes, but useless with the round trip planning and route planning features due to it's insistence on using Sustrans paths whenever it can, despite me telling it to avoid unpaved roads. Be fine on the mountain bike and hybrid/pub/shopping/camping bike though

Borrowed a mates for my Norfolk Ride with Chicken Legs Andy. Using the shortest distance option it sent me on a 50 mile route to travel 30 miles and ran out of battery 30 miles from home. When actually following a gpx it was quite good giving warnings of turns, etc.durhambiker wrote:A Garmin Edge Touring. Slowly getting used to it's failings.

At long last, a 125mm long 15mm thru' axle for the fork on the Stoater.
Nearly impossible to find online, I eventually tracked one down on CRC that was incorrectly described with the wrong image attached

No, these were for tarp tie outs rather than hammock suspension.Cheeky Monkey wrote:Did they finally appear on the site? I gave up checking a month or two agoTaylor wrote:Some Ti hookworms from Dutch in the U.S.

Re: The post man's been ...
Oh ar
They looked interesting but I couldn't rationalise ordering something so small, just for that
Be interested to know what they're once you've used them.

Re: The post man's been ...
They're small and fiddly but seem to hold quite well.
They might be a bit of a mare during winter with cold fingers though.

A set of these for the roadie. You wouldn't believe the ride quality for £275. The rims alone are £90 each. Bargain imo!
