Not been here long, but slowly getting my Chucker fitted to more off-road standards. Got a new stubby stem on the way, discs, pads and cables have all been replaced, better/lighter seat already bolted on! New tyres are already here, Rubber Queen 2.4's. Just gotta grab some bigger tubes and they'll be straight on.

So, yeah. Lots of lovely goodies incoming, which brings me to my question...

Anyone else got anything fun on its way?

Padded l/s top & shorts from crc they been dispatched but still waiting for me 661 elbow & knee shin guards which been processing since the 6 jan !! Been on to crc bout them waiting for phone call back now grrrrr

Nothing but payday isnt far away...

Just had email from crc me bits been lost in post !! Big apologies & gonna fast track me stuff ASAP !!!

Glad I was sent my Recon lid back on Friday.. It's been further reduced to £35 today!! Cheap as Chips!!

Although the LS top and shorts have also been further reduced which is sickening.

I've nearly completed my transformation into D3O-Boy

Already got 661 D30 Knee pads, and ordered Race face D30 elbows from CRC, got D30 scott gloves from..eer..link that Jon put up in another thread..only £9 and just ordered slab of the stuff £20 from http://armadilloscooterwear.com/collect ... -protector the idea being for it to go in my bladder compartment in my back pack.

Which 661 D30 did you get? The Evo? If so, how do you find them?

Yep..the 2013 Evo, which are a bit different to the old ones...I note there are 661 D3O elbows but these are the old range and they dont appear to have made new ones.

They are on CRC, alas..about the only things not in a sale ! > http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... tedKingdom

They are... In S, L & XL @ £43.99 in the private sale that ends tomorrow.

I was tempted but everywhere I read, people are saying their Kyle Straits are better, stay up better, don't wear as easily on the sides, etc...

I've had kyle straits for 4 years for boarding and biking and they are excellent

Also grabbed myself some Fox 'Platinum Anti-scene' black gloves for £12 on ebay (http://goo.gl/9vHbR ) on saturday. Wore 'em today for a blitz around behind Morrisons on Canvey. Pretty nice gloves, much better then I expected for the price tag! Nice and flexible, good grip, decently comfy padding... Pretty good buy overall!

Got my Kyle straights off eBay £30 I got small perfect fit for me !

Double wahoo ! Havnt tried Kyle Straights, but the Evo's are best Ive had, might as well make use of new technologies as opposed to big lumps of plastic, they are very thin and comfy even when wearing 'em under bulky MX bottoms on hot days in France.... there are plenty of amusing Youtube vids of people getting whacked with shovel,s etc whilst wearing em..including a beanie test here > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VDeJ7rLUYU

Didnt have any problem with em coming down, they are tight fitting and have strap at the top....but you do see a lot of people with the old solid plastic style ones where they slip down and leave a knee exposed..ready to be injured.

Theres always bits on order

Just had a call from my Mum, a parcel has arrived there for me (out of sigh of the missus ) i forgot i ordered a pair of those royal racing gloves that NWLarge recommended...... happy days
