That looks more like 1x 2. Not sure about the jump between cogs either.

In my experience it's totally random - I've posted stuff to different people in the same town and it's arrived two days apart! Same item, postage, collection point, collecting office and delivery office but different times of delivery.

Cheers Stu.

Well the Amazon delivery man's been and dropped off two massive boxes for the other half and I've no idea what's inside them!

My old helmet has gotten too loose and shamefully too many dents to be safe so a new one was in order,
After trying on LOADS today I picked up a new Giro Helmet in a fetching blue, simple and basic all round mtb, or as the shop called "XC race"
I did have to laugh at how many times the staff member said "Enduro" in one sentence

The boxes have now been opened: a tent to replace the one that was wrecked in a thunderstorm at Annecy last summer (this was a car camping tent so not exactly lightweight) and a chair

Montane Batpack 6 2nd hand, but looks brand new £20 delivered, looking to spread the weight from just the bar bag and seat pack plus have single grab and go bag with any valuables in when off the bike

Not so much a gravel grinder.... more a gravel (mud and tarmac) groveller...

Very cute! I'd almost be tempted with a furry one if it weren't for the fact I spend most of my time trying to escape my commitments so I can ride more
