Knew I’d be famous one day

And brought me a big box from Barnoldswick.

a nordisk oscar 10 sleeping bag

lightweight at 330 g [as light as it gets in synthetic] then for some unfathomable reason they have used metal buckles on the stuff sack so it weighs more than 10 % of the bag ![48 g] it does have an integrated stuff sack so you dont actually need it
why so light on the bag then pointlessly heavy on the sack?

With my copy of rsf book

New bivi bag just arrived. Looks pretty good to me

"my copy of rsf book" - hah, you sure it's not mine by mistake? Still waiting here

It's worth the wait reg , haven't had time to go through it properly yet but it's got some stunning pictures in it, yes I do look at the pictures first

I lovely pair of 29x2.1 Racing Ralph's for my fat 29er. I can't believe they have ever been used.

Cheers Steve.

Are you bearlegged on Instagram? Just looked and they have received exactly the same in the post

Hopefully my RSF book will be waiting for me when I get home as people keep posting theirs have arrived.

Aye, that's me.

Yup, mine too..

RSF book even better than I'd imagined it would be. I don't know where they are for Bob's easy way (page 45) but if it's in Wales it's got BB200 written all over it

Got mine too

BLINKIN' NORA! Own up, who's got my book by mistake!!! I was going to read it in the bath later, now it'll have to be an old Viz annual instead.

Good find that Dave and a good result of that thread I guess. I suppose I'll put that on my 'needs' list as the Borah is a bit slippy and no full proofed... where from you found the older higher rated HH model? Yhanks

A pair of DT Swiss Rims and a 29er tube from wiggle. They suddenly had then in stock and £20 odd quid cheaper than anywhere else so I had to click buy.

A new maxle for my Reba forks. Most of a new drivetrain (cassette, rear mech and chain) for Cath's road bike. Unfortunately it had all worn too much so she also needs the chainrings replacing They should be here tomorrow.

Quite often think it’s better to ride the drivetrain to deaths and then just replace everything in one hit.

An excuse to upgrade?

Replaced 105 with the same. Well a longer cage mech to take care of the slightly bigger cassette. The mech was completely shagged - no tension in the spring to keep the chain off the chainstay

Simon - never sure which is best: full drivetrain destruction or rolling replacement. I've gone two chains per cassette and two cassettes per chainring on my mountain bike.
