Two parcels:

For Mrs ND, an excellent and less than half price Altura Night Vision cycling jacket from Tredz (plus two packs of Haribo Tangfastic, which Mrs ND doesn't like - but I do!)

For me, a pair of Agu overshoes (as recommended by @Donger -thanks) and another set of emergency back up lights from Planet X - no Haribo from them, but they had wrapped the items in half a mile of sellotape, which was fun in its own way...

A dhb classic windproof thermal softshell jacket in medium size.... perfect fit so I'm returning the same jacket in large, which was too loose and bulky. Tried it out on the Wednesday evening hooligan ride without a base layer and was perfectly warm and sweat free. A great jacket at a good price.

A new Nexus 8 hub gear to put on my Birdy and replace the POS Sturmey XRD-5w that is utterly untrustworthy and has tested my patience once too often.

I shall miss the drum brake, that bit worked very nicely, but 2 sets of internals for the gear and nothing but trouble from it, SA can frankly shove their 5 speed box where the sun don't shine sideways and with vigour!


Called my friendly wheel builder and will be looking forward to getting Shimano 8 speed shifting onto both bikes now within a week or so (other bike is is an Alfine 8).


nipping out now to get a set of V brakes to put back on - I'll try the shed first then LBS if I've binned or reused the ones I took off the Birdy when putting the drummed hub on.
