Fed up of running my fat bike tyres on the "thumb press" method I decided I needed a decent pressure gauge.
Mr Postman just delivered a new nice shiny Topeak D2 Smart Head Digital Pressure Gauge
First check and I was running them at 6psi front and 5psi rear... no wonder I've been having some crappie trail ride of late, ha !!!
Wait for me...

12 litres of bio-ethanol. I've tried a pop can stove-full. It makes much less smell than standard maths.
And a complete set of rear shock bearings for my full susser.

An Alpkit Hunka XL and a Stem Cell.
Hopefully the former will let me use inflatable sleep mat, sleeping bag and quilt inside the bag so being somewhat more integrated than at present. Not used a Stem Cell before so that's an experiment.

Borah bivvy arrived.
Nice and light.
Compact.
But roomy. Went for the wide version to make sure I can fit my fat ass in and its huge, I could have got away with a standard.
And a new phone for perusing this here forum.

More goodies from Howies arrived yesterday
Cycling related ones are bib tights and LS jersey
I'm probably somewhere between M-L but they only comes in S/M or L/XL. Went for the latter, it isn't quite roadie tight (which is what I was hoping for) but the sleeves are the right length at least!
The tights are VERY stretchy!

I've been using the Howies tights and shirt (long and short sleeved) for the past month - top notch kit they are

weird/luxury one this, but I just got a pair of these in the post:
http://barefootbritain.co.uk/products/o ... dable-shoe
I hate having wet feet at night and always change into spare socks overnight. Plan to try these as camp shoes so I can get out of wet riding shoes. They may do for the odd river crossing, too. They fold up to nothing! I reckon they're about 200g.
They also make you look like some sort of pixie with a rubber fetish
