You can get the water bottles cases, they have a screw off top and you can stick your stuff in. Also, the water bottle cases with a zip round the edge where you can do the same - more accessible but less water/mud proof.

like this :

Z BOX L - Bike tool holder box

The Z Box L is a large-capacity, double-compartment tool holder that lets you easily store your gear. Waterproof, it keeps your gear dry.

You can also get a twin bottle cage mount to mount them side by side, so one for tools and one for water.

Very cool, thanks ZF for the reference!
 
Some way of making my Bosch motor quieter. Other than the noise, it’s absolutely flawless.
 
- New tyres
- New lid
- and a new bike for the day after the warranty expires on the Levo and the motor catastrophically melts down in a hiss of angry rampant clutch/belt collapse!
 
I really don't neee anything for my emtb, but wireless shifting and dropper would be cool.

Instead I need something for riding:
- a new gps unit to replace a broken one, maybe Garmin 520plus/530
- what I really, really want and need are trousers for a tall rider at 6'3". Been looking for years with no luck and probably never will.
 
Current wants are a 27.5 rear wheel and some 160mm forks (maybe lyrik ult.) so I can send my current forks for servicing/upgrades.
Maybe AXS sometime in the distant future.
I keep thinking about some Magura calipers too with all the talk on the forum :rolleyes:
 
When I was HK I spied a shirt I fancied. I asked the sales person to show me the ones with 44” chest. They looked great and bought a couple only problem was the cuffs where half way up my forearm and I was on trend exposing my belly button. ?. I really should have tried them on first. ??‍♂️

Some new tools ...

@steve_sordy I can't find the original thread where we said about fixing ratchets .. but as some Muppet just managed to do some double destruction (extreme abuse of equipment) and broke their's I thought I'd take it apart and take a picture for you !

This is the bit where normally one or both pawl's ?!? just end up moving/dropping out of position. You just put them back in again and viola - it works. Takes 2 minutes.

As you can see, mine is now a free turning variety as I sheared the head - that bit shouldn't turn on it's own :) :

(and yes, I know, don't use torque wrenches to undo things .. this one was already relegated to none torque wrench use .. and now it's a little hammer - a little hammer that should click when you've boshed things with the correct force ! :-) )

Amazingly, I was on a roll and then sheared an adaptor ... :)

Thanks @Zimmerframe that might even motivate me to have a go at fixing my broken one. (Broken by trying to torque a left hand thread). It shouldn't be too bad as it wasn't a big thread - so no great force was used.
