They look great on johnclimber's new Surly and I think would add to the clunker aesthetic I'm going for on my Big Bro. Are they still called skinwalls or was it gumwalls? I saw someone on Global Cycling Network saying modern ones leak tubeless fluid like a sieve and are very prone to sidewall cuts.

I think that was due to the sidewalls being thinner on proper skinwalls. I couldn't find anything suggesting these are any different in construction to the fully black variant...

Nope, they cancelled the 2021 calendar and donated €100,000 to Coronavirus research instead. Besides, their soft pr0n calendars stopped a few years back...

Dropped off this nice carbon Salsa fork for my camping bike. Now have mounts for my fork cages as cable tying them on wasn't much use.



I also got an Alpkit synthetic under hammock quilt off their sale which seems pretty nice for the £20 or so I paid for it

Post man was useless, had to go to Wales and get it

Fell out, went swimming, got a bit trapped in some trees and lost a paddle. Also had to buy a helmet. Expensive weekend.

Massive grins

Photos please ;-)

You had the blardy camera mate!

And after Callum's rant I refuse to blow it up in the garage

... and dropped of a hydration vest. I imagine the weekend will be a bit of a slop fest and I can't be arsed with manky bottles any more...

Did your trowel turn up Bob?

It did, thanks!

... and another one; can't help thinking it would be less wasteful if all the deliveries came together in the one van.

Some pointless bike bling

Nice one. It's art, and art that is useful to boot. Nothing could have more purpose. Let's have details of where it came from yeah? Quite like the idea of a bespoke top cap./

EDIT: just opened that link. Yea Gods they do nice stuff .... my OO Fatty was born and bred in Yorkshire (apparently ... according to the stickers but Im pretty sure it was designed in Yorkshire but born in China ... dunno) But my credit card is out. Such lovely stuff. Cheers fella

An insulated gilet from Galibier. Purchase inspired by the looming *November* BB200 but I think it’s going to get lots of use, on and off the bike.

Keep an eye on the Instagram page for new stuff

A 2021 Kona Unit X frameset just arrived, looking resplendent in copper. 2nd hand but practically new condition. It'll replace the 2018 Unit which was a touch too small, as the updates in geometry since 2018 model make this a good fit.

Does mean a Unit frame and longitude frameset will be on sale soon...

The postman hasn't been..boo hoo.

Will be going on holiday without my new packraft or warm coat

Sorry to hear that Dave. What packraft did you get?

I'll be on an island...

Re packrafts, quite interested in these :- https://adeliepackrafts.co.uk/
Mebbes aye, mebbes no. A bit wary of getting something else that will take up time and money (as well as introducing the possibility of drowning into my already risky life) but I'm tempted....

Anyway postie delivered my fixed 'sposures today - loose battery in MaxxD no more, plus got the back panel upgraded so no more stupid 'touch sensitive' switch. Diablo turned out to be fine - it died completely on me when fiddling with it but turns out it just locked itself (I tried to change the programme when the battery was pretty much dead) and had unlocked itself by the time I'd sent it down to be fixed.

New dishwasher incoming tomorrow
