So i'm waiting for the postie to bring me my new 1*10 Zee drive train (I know it's in the building!) ready for a weekend of tinkering and riding. So what presents has the postie brought you?

Awaiting a couple of chains, a new seatpost that hopefully won't slip/creak and some valve cores (exciting, I know 😉 )

Rubber. Moving to Switzerland early next year so getting it all purchased now while I can still afford it 🙂
Crap £ into Swiss franc is crippling. I also plan to buy a cannondale habit 1 before I go ........ the crap £ rate has just about killed that hope.

Fuji X-T1 & 27mm f2.8 lens.

I'm planning to swap from my Canon dSLR setup to save weight and size. If all goes well with the Fuji I may be advertising some Canon lenses in the classified section soon.

This week the postie has bought me a Brightside amber sidelight, which I'll be trying out on tonight's commute home.

Next week should be more exciting. I won the recent Endura competition on Facebook, so I should have a MT500 jacket, jersey, shorts, gloves and overshoes heading my way. 😀

A big box of biological spores
some bits for refining my jones truss fork light mounting system

Nothing, the ****!
Well, to be fair, he left a card in my secure porch to say he couldn't find a secure area to leave my parcel...

Surly Bud tyre to replace the Jumbo Jim on the fatbike as summer seems to be well and truly over 😳

Just need to decide whether to keep the JJ on the rear for a bit longer (desperately clinging to the hope of better weather) of go the whole hog and fit the Lou that is due to arrive today as well.

Some Shimano wet lube. First time I have ever (in 20+ years of biking) emptied a bottle of lube and gone out of my way to order more of the same type.

Lezyne Macro drive 800 - fantastic. Got a smaller all-in-one commuter light that I've used loads, but this one lasts about three times as long on the same power and is barely larger. So much more convenient for travelling and road riding to have a single bar unit and a USB charger.

XT pedals. To replace the XTR that got broke a few months back. Can't afford XTR any more...

It's winter, I try not to buy anything bike related during winter. So I bought this!

I was more surprised at how good the MIDI dicers with Serato are!

Also bought a wireless mic setup so I can send the music to another room.
Yup the neighbours love me. 😆

Car walked through its mot first time (after a wee bit of effort prior to presenting) so as a reward I ordered a second roll cab(210quid !!) as it was getting cramped in there. 🙂

Bike tools can breathe again 🙂

He also brought a new set of pin punches and a replacement 10mm flex ratchet spanner after mine broke 🙁
