As you're getting excited about going to Morzine, how about a full-face lid, or some really nice knee and/or shin pads?

Pimptacular flat pedals?

Or, how about asking for a TFtuned/Mojo service for the forks (and shock)?

Just bought some Endura Stealth tights (non bib) for £100 odd quid. Tried them this weekend and the verdict is very very impressive and ideally suited to sub zero conditions.

Trying to build a night ride into a routine mid week occurance. Hence would spend remainder on Hope Led 1 light. The reviews appear extraordinarily good and if you shop before midnight you will receive a 20% discount.

I asked for new tubeless wheels, she said that that was a silly thing to ask for xmas.

Asked her what she wanted She said a Radley handbag.................. 🙄

I asked for a skills course as well after being asked by my folks what I wanted.
My old man said there was no point as I would be too busy........SO WHY ASK?

I think I'm getting some socks now.

Are they like the jacket (which I have just bought)? Softshell but waterproof?

I am after a mobile pressure washer of some kind, though the Nomad I want is something like 180 sheets 😯

My feelings were only reinforced when the only oustide tap to my 3rd floor flat froze yesterday though.

Book by that Roger bloke, wheel truing jig, stand thingy, and learn yourself wheel building.

Crickey !, I think I've just had my own Xmas present question answered there.

yes, I suffer from the gender based incomprehension problem. My wife refuses to buy anything bike related for xmas despite me giving very clear web site references to desirable objects. Yet like Bruneep's other half she expects me to grob about in ladees clothes shops looking for obscure items of intimate female apparel. I actually struck lucky last birthday as we were in an outdoor shop that sold bike gear as well and I managed to get her to me buy a Gore top that was in the sale [ saved her thinking of anything!]
If you think I am whingeing you are right. Presents for her have to be well researched and exactly right, presents for me can be any random object that takes her fancy.

A Ragley handbag? That's a departure for Brant. Steel or Titanium options I'd assume.
