Look what I just got in the post

Bulls penises and trachea for the dogs, ipad in photo for scale

^^micro beer from a micro brewery?

I wish. Salclear visor cleaner/anti-fog/anti-water coatings for glasses.

dolan pls

I got 5 T-shirts from Planet X, all in 2XL, four under their own brand and one under the Plain Lazy brand.

The one at the bottom is the Plain Lazy and the one on the top is a PlanetX !

The planet X 2XL tshirts are more like medium-large!

That's because Planet-X is for racers and Plain Lazy is for slackers

I am more of a slacker I guess :) !

Jokes aside though, it would have been a more effective way of communicating size if 2XL was allways 2XL and racers bought a medium !

Measurement across the chest-zone of a flat tshirt would be a useful metric.

They do usualy tell you about kit that comes in "racing fit" or "italian sizes" as they call them but there was not mention in this case!

I picked this up from the sorting office the other day:

Fan mail?

Some new oakley splice goggles and a hydrophobic cleaner.

Ordered some fancy shampoo off the internet and it came today. Noticed what it says on the side of the bottle:

Does this mean washing my hair will improve my pedaling form?

the way you'e cropped the photo suggests it will improve your form at something else.

V Nice !!!
no bullshit home mechanic ...!

^ what are that thing? spoke tension checker?

pointless park branded spoke bender, for when you want to fuck up someone's wheels in style??

it tests the tension in a spoke by measuring the deflection in the spoke under a given pressure. an ideal wheel will have all the spokes are the same tension, and this gives you a way to measure that

Audio gives at least as good a guide to tension balance. What a tension meter can tell you is the absolute value of the tension.

This.
I bought it for checking absolute tension and to get a quantified measure of tension distribution in dished rear wheels.

IME if a wheel is both straight and true and you have done a proper job of stress relieving throughout the build the spokes will be very close in tension.

As long as the rim was circular before you started :-)

drøn, the tool has arrived. You know what you need to do next. ;-)
