So is Santa bringing anyone any new bikes for xmas?:)

I got my cast off yesterday so that is a great xmas present!:D :D

So I am getting a 661 Wrist wrap for xmas and hopefully some other MTB goodies. No new bikes, but accessories are always nice.

I am thinking of getting a BMX lid too as I am sick of wearing my XC helmut with my BMX bike. Can anyone recommend anything that would fit my pin head? Ive tried on a few but they are all too big and that is the smallest size. :(

Hey Jayne! Great to hear the cast is gone :D How's your wrist feeling now?
Well, I've been buying way too much stuff for myself over the last couple of months.. (mostly for my bikes) I've had prezzie's overload and have now banned myself from Ebay & some other luxury spending. Today I received my 661 Core Saver vest (have been waiting for them to come to Australia for about a year now) I got it for sandboarding, but I'll be using it more for my dirt bike I think (and maybe downhill in summer since its a vest & not a full sweaty suit)
About the dirt lid for your pinhead (LOL)... try maybe a youth size, or a helmet that's sized externally (not these cop-out sizes in 'fit kits' S, M & L - where the helmet looks huge with the small internal padding) I thought 661 did youth sizes but since speaking with them last none had been restocked in Oz.

Hope everyone has a great Christmas and those damn bush fires burn themselves out soon :mad: We can smell the smoke from Mt Gambier with the Nor'easter blowing

I've bought myself the "Joe Kid on a Stingray" DVD for the hell of it but that is coming in the post after chrissy :(
Yesterday I bought my hubby a pair of shy-shorts and myself some bike tools, which I didn't really need but I got the shorts, cassette tool, cone wrenches and brake cable pull-it-tight-thingy for $40. The discounts you get for handing your fav LBS a 6 pack of beer :D

Will do!

It looks a bit different than in the picture... Less padding around the waist (different design), no double overlap waist fastener (narrower single elastic) & its shorter (or maybe just because its the S/M size)... Its very comfortable, lightweight & easy to wear under or over clothing :) I just have to go riding in it now! Its been pissing rain all night so all the dust at out local track would be nice & damp .... Perfect for an arvo session (bugger visiting the inlaws for christmas)

I also got some new allen keys which are longer than my other ones, so hopefully I will be able to do up my bars right in future ;) LOL.....

Plus a digital tyre pressure reader thingame which is pretty cool.

MTB chick thanks for the advise on the pin head helmets, I will check them out!

I got a set for chrissy too, Bondhus metric. I've been using my father-in-law's set, top quality - there are no rounded heads with these allen keys!

Who else is suffering from waaay too much good food, family gigs and of course booze?!?
