Anything cycling related in your big red stocking.

A couple that I purchased a couple of days ago with money I had been sent, which were a pair of Schwalbe Delta cruisers in cream and a Dawes grand tourer saddle for my Hercules.

Then my wife and daughter got me a bike workshop stand (which should make life easier) and a small bike tool kit with a few bits in.

A 32t IO chainring from Superstar, a pair of BG expert shoes, A pair of Ultegra Pedals, a Cree XT front lamp with zoom focus, a Diamond Ruby rear light, a Clasohlsen boot and shoe dryer and enough cash to buy a Oneup 42t cassette expander and rad cage.

The jelly babies and chocolates have been consumed.

Spd pedals (Shimano 520s) and some nice Bontraeger Cycling Shoes. Not a surprise, as I got them a few weeks ago, and got fitted all proper, as I'm a size 14.(48 Eur, 13 UK) No mean feat as most cycling things are made for smaller fellows, but my LBS/running shoe store came through for me again. I also got a very nice chain checker that also shows the percentage of wear in the chain, so you may plan ahead for replacement and find problems before they start, which I have done already.

i'm in the UK and am UK 13 12 or so and have a couple of pairs of UK 13 (i find it is best to have one size larger than normal for cycling shoes) cycling shoes, both specialized one spd and one spd-sl

I haven't had my first cuppa yet so read that as "an aeroplanes coffee maker" and just thought that someone you know had been out on the rob at BA. A second read and it was all OK though.

...a pair of Schwalbe Delta cruisers in cream...

I prefer them in a white wine sauce.

 

[vernon]

But you wouldn't eat a pair at one sitting?

I would with a side order of sports' sock frittatas.
