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 😉 )

A load of stainless jubilee clamps, for attaching lights to my bike in a less quickrelease/quicksteal way.

shhh, it’s eldest_oab’s birthday shortly.
A nice GSI Pinnacle cookset and a uberlight remote gas stove. 8)

Brand X dropper, Renthal fatbar and an offset bushing, all still waiting to be fitted…

Three Rapha deliveries.
A huge delivery from Arcteryx.
Some lego, including the yellow submarine.
Some light bulbs 🙂
new wing mirror for the Scirocco which got smashed.
New Spyderco Pingo knife.
DJ shadow anniversary triple cd.
Park spoke tension gauge.
A 60 meter roll of 25mm tubeless tape.
Philips sonicare toothbrush.
Apple keyboard case for my iPad Pro.
And a new aeropress to replace my original one.

nowt. 3 weeks waiting for some new mudguards (untracked, natch). Haven’t needed them so far, but looks like autumn is going to kick in this weekend…

An eternity ring for the wife. 10 year wedding anniversary coming up.

Not sure she’d be happy with carbon cranks and rims for my bike 🙄

A couple of Mucky Nutz mudguards for the fat bike.

New slx 2017 cranks they are well tasty

Mudhuggers. The trails around here are still amazingly good for November but I am a pessimist/realist

on and on, that’s quite a list. Birthday?

Brakes pads, Shimano
Gear cables
Brembo 300mm ZX6R brake disks
Hopefully today a new RaceFace Ride crankset

One of these:

And lots of this:

And one of these:

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.

Not the postie but the Mrs has brought me back a mountain of stuff from her month in the US including some very cool New York bike shop t-shirts.

**** Cancer socks

New mudguards for the cross bike.
Lezyne V10 multi tool
New 5700 105 cassette for the FS ready for an uplift day tomorrow
A bright red silicon cover for my garmin which has been on a slow boat from China.
A new phone for my dad (who couldn’t work ebay out!)
New christmas bedding bought to cheer MrsMomo up at the beginning of the week.
And this months coffee delivery from Pact.

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.

A pair of 5 Ten freeriders in blue/neon green
New wiper blades and H7 bulbs

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. 😀

Some laminated OS maps for The Lakes, Dales & Howgills
4 packets of Monsoon Estates coffee

– Looking forward to spending some time drinking coffee and planning adventures

Thanks for the headsup nickc. Good to see they are back in stock. Just ordered a pair. Lost a mate 2 weeks ago today to cancer.

A used copy of “Tony Benn – an argument for socialism”

A MET Parachute

So far the postie has delivered:
some explosive material
A big box of biological spores
some bits for refining my jones truss fork light mounting system
a new club ride top
and a new harness and full face respirator

some of this is work related, I’m not a terrorist making bio-terror weapons

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…

A nice merino baselayer off of Sport Pursuit. But not my lady friend’s Xmas present jacket off of Sport Pursuit what they lost in the post 😕

Another new rear shock for the Orange Five. Cane Creek DB Air CS this time.

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.

Call of Duty – Infinite Warfare/Modern Warfare Reboot.

Wife out tonight, kids in bed. Sorted

A GoPro chest harness & final drawings for the new conservatory.

Wishbones,
Brembo front discs and pads.,
Ball-joint splitter,
3/8″ breaker bar

All to repair Mrs Daffy’s car.

2x 17″ part worn (7.5, 8.4mm) Continental 255 summer tyres in preparation for March ( cheapest time to buy)
Kask Protone Helmet,
Chris King Hubs,
4x carbon rims.

A new dressing gown for Daffy Jnr.

I am MORE than skint….

Spare batteries for my GoPro, so I can make gnarly videos of my steezy exploits (about twice a year).

Far too much….

Hope race brakeset
Saddle
Pedals

Cotic simple rises like the phoenix. Time to have some fun…..

The wrong rear mech, then the right rear mech!!

My fault entirely though.

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!

and these:

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. 😆

a pack of replacement pins for my race face chesters

A Kilpi Tundra fleece jacket from sports pursuit, a 2nd hand bargain fluke multimeter, a ruffwear waterproof doggy coat for toby and an SLX ceramic grinder for my herbs.

I can tell you what he hasn’t brought me. 😐
