One Sawyer Mini water filter, 35grams according to my scales (the backwash syringe is another 30grams, so will leave that in the car )

Picked up a Rab Storm Bivi today,
Just got to make time to go and use it.

I've been toying with the idea of a bivi this Friday Paul...

I've got the joy of night shifts this weekend starting Friday. :( I think the earliest I'm going to get an overnighter in is thu 14th, (need to negotiate with her indoors) going to keep it simple and head to the dead sheep bivi (or if it's good weather head up to the shooting cabins) and ride cut gate early in the morning. Home in time for breakfast.

Fabulous 20l Airlok Xtra Dual roll top barbag in chilli from those wonderful people at Alpkit. Just looking around the house and realizing that so much of our gear is made by them and it still works after years of abuse! Still time to vote for them in TGO awards (twice!) and I think John Muir trust wild land thing is probably worth supporting in the environmental section. http://www.tgomagazine.co.uk/awards/

Been a bit naughty - Uberbike ceramic bottom bracket, bits and bobs for building up the Uncle John CX/commuter, and have just ordered a PX Dirty Harry (well, there was 15% off) frame. Just got to break the news at home about the Dirty Harry.

Revo light & Dynamo wheel to go on the Fargo from those nice folks at Keep Pedalling. :)

Solar storm x2 turned up today in the post, along with some altur attack 3/4's.

Looking forward to trying both out next week!

Solar storm light all the way from Hong Kong for £21.30 Inc delivery which took three weeks. Light comes with two sizes of rubber mounting rings, battery in frame mounting pack, charger and UK plug adaptor. Initial impressions are good and hopefully going to give it an outing soon.

Thanks Stu!

Some folding eating gear plus some GoreTex patches to fix the shorts I managed to rip the .rse out of on a bivi last Friday!

Not technically the postie but just downloaded this to my kindle:

Finally my orange cable sleeves arrived from Hong Kong :D

At last my Solarstorm x2 has arrived from HK along with a side entry bottle cage ready to fit and measure up for a custom frame bag.

an Alpkit Hunka but this was my main treat to myself...

My in-laws live 2 minutes from the beach so its a great excuse to visit them most weekends :D

Just had 2 of these turn up in the post. Planning a simple handlebar mount type thing with these facing forward. Should hold a couple of dry bags nice and secure...



Hello by the way! My first post :)

A pair of down booties arrived today.

Pair of TRP HY/RDs.

Freek bike ahoy.

XT external B/B not one of Shimanos better designs but its better than buying a new chainset

@Mandicky, hello. Was wondering what to search for on eBay for those bar clamps?!

Not sure if this link works:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/331031280934? ... 1439.l2649

They are to mount a bottle holder on the bars so search 'water' 'bottle' handlebar' 'clamp' 'mount' :)

I've got some 'U' section ally that fits snugly. I'm hoping to cut some short sections and give them a slight bend... I'll post pics once the carnage is over :)

Link works fine, ta muchly - hope the bodge goes well!

Trangia cook set and a pair of 1.9 Panaracer Smokes & XT M739 8 speed shifters (ask yer Grandad)
