A downtube cablestop for Verdigris I so I can move the shifter up to the stem and a 23 tooth rear sprocket for Verdigris II so that Ditchling Beacon holds no fear after a beer or two in Ditchling village.

N+1 was despatched today. As I have not quite informed Mrs Aidan yet of said purchase, there is a possibility that I may have less than 24 hours to live

If I live , I may post photos

Im still here

and have all my limbs intact

There was a tense moment when the courier first turned up, which turned to silent resignation after about ten minutes.

But , bless her cotton socks, when she came out to have a look, her first question was " why's it got such a fat downtube"

She's learning

Oh and I'm now her slave forever

some prendas arm warmers. My arms are too skinny for the medium ones I have, and they keep falling down. I was going to get them taken in, but the lady who does it wanted more than a new pair would cost. The prendas guy assures me I will be fine in their medium. We will see.

Michelin map holders, 2, because they're getting harder to find and have always sereved me well in the past

Tyres and tubes for the tandem.

And trying to persuade Chris S to get new shorts. I've spent an awful lot of time 'admiring' that particular view this season, what with him having done <spit> training over the winter, so gaining speed as I lost it, and he really is starting to need new shorts.
Please. Get shopping man.

I am intrigued by this one in one out line adopted by some partners. WHY?

Space limitation would be the sane reason...

Or real world finance.

A new helmet for Mrs Dan who wrote hers off on Sunday in a pedestrian SMIDSY.

Some KMC 9L gold chain, rather 3 lengths of it for my recumbent. How's 6,500 miles on a chain for wear?

Not quite as good as LeeW, who last time I spoke to him had done 10,000 miles on his Quest with no oiling of the chain even,and no appreciable wear either. (Fully enclosed drive train).

A recumbent chain only gets around from the chainwheel to the sprockets once every couple of miles doesn't it?

Anyway getting back on topic I'm expecting delivery of my replacement dynamo tomorrow. I'll wait until the old one becomes unbearably noisy before fitting it.

New tyres for the MTB. Conti Double Fighters (silly name), because they're cheap, Mrs B is very happy with hers, & they're better suited to the country lane/rough stuff (towpaths, easy tracks) usage it mostly gets now than the dedicated off-road tyres currently on it. The old tyres'll go into reserve.

A pair of 32c Marathon Supreme tyres for the fixie. I love the Durano Plus I've had on there for the past few months but they're 25c and the fixie really needs something a bit more comfortable, so the Duranos are moving to the black bike permanently to replace the cheapo Vittorias that it came with.

...and just placed an order for a Gelert Solo tent, to be used as a portable sleep-stop while cycling.

perpetual dan · « **Reply #1115 on:** 07 June, 2011, 11:31:11 pm »

Yes. (shh, Mrs Dan's away)
Inner tubes (I now ride four bikes on a regular basis, each has different tyre sizes and/or valve types

), nuun tablets, gloves (which I think may be my fathers' day present) and _pedals.

tiermat · « **Reply #1116 on:** 08 June, 2011, 02:08:23 pm »

A Blackburn MF1-MTN front rack (for forks without braise-ons) so I can load down one of the bikes enough to make me slow enough that Mrs T can keep up (either that or so I can carry enough kit for 2 adults and one child to go camping)

I don't think so. You can have a copy of the directions - The map is mine

clarion · « **Reply #1119 on:** 08 June, 2011, 02:57:05 pm »

You can debate that later.

I'm right
