What's the Postie brought you today?

You can function on one kidney as my left one has been missing for 40 years now.

That rather depends on the state of the remaining kidney.

Amazon £7 delivered. There are a multitude of sellers selling the same versions and I beleive there was a red one. The shims that came with it aren't enough to securely grip the Brompton handlebar, but I used some self amalgamating tape on the handlebar. A bit of inner tube would do the job.

Ah yeah...

I actually bought mine off Amazon about three years ago, and had the exact same issue with the clamp and shims. Looks like that part of the design hasn't changed in the interim.

But this one looks better, what with the rubber sleeves. Lights are fine on what I've got, but the bell has a distinct taste for hanging upside down...

Mrs 26 sent me a postcard which arrived this fine morning. It actually got here before her. She's back tomorrow .

A couple of bits for an upcoming new departure for me, some new pedals and a shock pump.

I've been using V12's on my gravel bike for several years now and been super impressed, not just the comfort, but the excellent build quality.

Another company who's build quality has always impressed, has been Lezyne. I have a beautiful Lezyne track pump as well as a small pocket pump, so when I needed a shock pump, only Lezyne would do and this one looks good enough to mount on the workshop wall. Though I wouldn't because that would be weird.

A pizza restaurant menu for a place that doesn't deliver out here in the boonies, and a little treat for me that I shall enjoy wearing.

Coverplates and screws for a Seydel 1847

A tyre glider. https://tyreglider.co.uk/
A piece of shaped plastic for fitting tyres. It was developed in Wales during lockdown. If it works on my tight tubeless I’ll break into a spontaneous rendition of bread of heaven!

 

[DCBassman]

A new TPU gel case for my ancient Galaxy S7 Edge, and a glass screen protector for belt-and-braces protection.
Some hearing aid batteries.
Still waiting: Molex-to-SATA Y-splitter.
Wow, I lead an exciting life...

My Daughter gave me the Welsh one for last Christmas. Unfortunately, there aren't any in that one close enough to ride without driving to the start.

I subscribe to GCN+, and have enjoyed the "slow cycling" series with him taking various GCN staff members for rides.

Heard about those episodes in Jack's podcast. Alas, am not a subscriber to GCN+

This beautifully light and well preserved crankset. I have two of the Octalink version, so plenty of spare chain rings, this one is square taper and going on the tourer.

Argh, I now have competition for purchasing replacement chain rings, grrrr. I've got a spare large chain ring as I seem to be wearing them out in 12-18 months with commuting twice a week. I've seen them first ! 👅

Thanks for the heads up! 😄
