Silca tyre levers, Wolftooth encase system and a Rapha snood.

Cycling Santa obviously had me on his Paris-Nice list.

I made the Nice List this year:

Cycling trousers, cycling shorts, cycling gloves, cycling socks, cycling book, gear cables and Haribo.

Haribo!
Nobody ever buys me Haribo. Which is why I need to order new bibs from Wiggle.

So some kind of top tube bag, with 12" straps, weird multi tool. The light set might be OK - detachable front torch, dinky little rear that runs on watch batteries.

The Mad Man multi-tool needs some going into - I'm fascinated by the thought process behind this one, so many missed opportunities. 

Not pictured, some MucOff cleaner, always welcome, but bundled with Bike Protect of which I've got about 3 cans.

Merry Christmas all!

I'm intrigued as to what they think cyclists need to measure on an emergency roadside repair. Perhaps for those ultra-fussy riders of winter bikes who have a need to realign their slightly nudged mudguards after a café stop?

So on the other side, it's got inches (up to 4) and the word "driver" is repeated.

I think it's in case you get in an argument with a motorist in a BMW, you can ask him to drop his trousers and then use it to prove that you're right.

Not to measure how close he passed while giving you "plenty of room"?

That scale in inches in full, and how with the 'bits' removed it can split into two...
