Alpkit frame bag for the Dirty Harry. Looking forward to trying it for size this weekend, and using it for real if my borah bivvy turns up next week. And a few drybags from Alpkit.
Last week it was spare mech hanger, brake pads, and a couple of other exciting bits like foam grips. Next week it's glacier gloves, and the week after some new (cheap) shoes and thin gloves.

Salsa Bend 2 bars. Ceramic BB on the way to replace 2k miles old Hope SS. ALL BBs designed in the last 10-15 years are stupid.

I got both versions of this bar. I love it. Did you get the 23 or 17 degree version?

My First ever GPS Now just the simple task of trying to work how it functions
or maybe just give it to the kids, they will have it sussed in no time

17, mainly as they happened to be on ebay. ; )

Solar Storm light arrived for my nephew ... very impressed given that it cost less than £23 posted and arrived in 48 hours. Lets hope it doesn't explode or his mum will kill me

Buy him an extension lead and a saucepan with a lid.

Stu walks into shop:

"Hello, I'd like to buy a soucepan that could withstand a small explosion"

Cue bombsquad, visit from the anti-terrorist unit and once again the fledgling organisaltion of PLO in Wales (PORG Liberation Organisation) is thwarted

This mornings delivery. New middle ring and chain for switching to a triple for this summers mile munching (primarily, LeJog).

SS sprocket and chain from VeloSolo.

No postie yet. Bit miffed, haven't ordered anything in ages, then when I do it takes sodding ages to get here

when I do it takes sodding ages to get here

If it's any consolation, one of those took 48-hours to arrive and the other took 24

Funny you should say that ... I'm just coaching a bloke who's part of the MET Anti-terrorist squad. Maybe he's been sent to infiltrate the cymru PLO

waterproof cycling /pot washing / gimp gloves. So good and cheap I immediately ordered a second pair

I'm starting a new project

After riding around on a pair of wellgo v8 copy pedals for the last two years I decided to buy something nice so a pair of Nukeproof Neutron pedals in black arrived this morning along with some summer gloves.

Sawyer mini filter picked up on the way into work

best price I could find was £27 but free postage was only for orders over £30 so I also bought a Trek'n'Eat breakfast pouch to make it £30.01

These arrived courtesy of Travers Bikes ... sadly I'm only looking after them until the WRT on May 3rd, when some lucky person will be taking them home. Perhaps I could 'misplace' them between now and then

Maps for our Ireland trip next month. They sent 2 of number 2, 2 be sure 2 be sure. Guess it's just an Irish thing.

Not bikepacking kit, but the bottles might see use on bikepacking trips when they're not adorning the road bike during triathlons

Yesterday the Postie finally brought me something: Klymit Inertia x-lite sleeping mat. 157g of combination of sleeping mat and large holes where the rest of it would be, but isn't. Quick trial on a hard floor seems to prove it's more comfortable than the floor itself. Not just for back sleepers either, found a position that works on my side. Pack size is impressive too.

Today I got an email saying my TN bivi bag will be a few more days

Postie's been and brought a set of gusset jury xc rigid forks to go on my 29er....
Some teva links shoes...
A new 34 tooth on one ss chainring and a kmc single speed specific chain..

Busy day on thursday putting it all together

Small huh... and light!

I agree that it seems possible to get comfy on your side too. Though its a week and a half until I'll be using it in anger
