Pair of BB carbon poles from Artie.
Thanks.

New iphone as i dropped my Sony and it was cheaper to buy a phone then replace the screen!!!

Pair of Inoo Bluetooth Earphones to pair up to my phone for music on the go. This means I don't have to take my mp3 as well as my phone. I never got on with the mp3, I couldn't figure out how to use it properly, I could only move it on one track at a time, it wasn't loud enough and I no longer have to have a connecting lead. Sound quality is pretty good, could do with as bit more bass and it goes louder than I will ever need.

Pair of cotter pins and a bottom bracket oiler for the butchers bike. A bike bag from Wiggle and some fork oil. What an exciting life!

A pair of fast rolling 35mm tyres ready for the Valley Cat this weekend.

A sweet protection bushwacker MIPS helmet in the sale (£50 off) given my predilection for ending up not on the bike.

It's VERY orange!

Been keeping the postie busy this week in music and electrics.

New SPoT Gen 3 on sale at Memory Map, and a Sony mobile that is supposed to be waterproof. I also won a Garmin Dakota 20 on Ebay that looks new and arrived with me within 40 hours of sale finishing. I lost a small mp3 player on the flight (I think) and bought a second hand one for bikepacking trips.

See my post from yesterday blackhound, the Sony Xperia is a great phone but in the fragile side. Get a case for it as the back of my phone cracked during normal use in my pocket, whilst the front got smashed by dropping it (OK, so that one was completely my fault). Great phones though with a top quality camera

You might get a few folk asking where'd you get it from? what's it made of? does it have a bug net?, is it waterproof? what's it weigh? How much did it cost? That sort of thing

A 6m x 4m gazebo to replace a smaller one that got trashed at last years WRT.

"trashed".. gulp, that was some tea and cake party then..... Might bring my body armour....

Postie: Seam sealant to apply to mat to stop it sliding around. Don't want to end up under someone else's tarp by the morning. Well not unless I'm formally invited to of course.

"Reg"

Let's just say, Saturday started off a tad windy

and I would say, from a guy in southport (Scotty) its made of some superlight highly breathable material (which name slips me) and some lightweight p.u material underneath, it has a bug net AND a fold overface flap, and zipper 3/4 its length, 220cm long and 92cm wide, it weighed in at 350gms in its stuff sack and I don't know if I mentioned it BUT im really made up with it

Pm me if you want his phone number, he makes bags to order and specification, hammocks, down bags and other stuff too no doubt, top fella and would highly recommend his work

Small catchup one from last week:

Full set of Ortlieb panniers
Ortlieb bar pack, with camera insert
Tubus Cosmo and Tubus Tara racks
Exped Hyperlight Synmat
Exped Air pillow

Postman dropped off my Numo mat after alpkit repaired it, very quick solution from them and hopefully do another test run soon now its fixed

Also picked up an Osprey stuff pack, a little packaway bag for shopping, extra food on bike trips or just carrying some kit while I lock up the bike outside a pub or something

After a "royal fail" and my birthday present was lost in the post, Alpkit have resent a new Koala which has dutifully been filled with my sleep system, just need a couple of days off work to test it now!

Special treat for my on-going Burls build. Complete with custom wooden fork bung complements of Stif Cycles

Will that axle be stiff enough?

I should also say ... it's lucky you're good with words, 'cos you're ******* **** with pictures

I blame my phone

Look at the shiny shiny.

Wife has a long weekend this weekend. Might go for a ride out to the red roofed bothy and try them out with my bicycle.

A bicycle 3.5 partially suspended from bits of the bike is good for one on an unltra light crusade but a. Set of poles will open it up to use for 2 plus i wanted poles for the door of my hoolie 2 etc.
