1 Axiom Urban Shopper Pannier Set - Navy
1 Nashbar Jail Brake Road Bike Brake Calipers
2 WTB Pathway Sport Road Tire

Some crappy fenders (quite unhappy with them, but they were cheap so if I can't adjust them better at least I'm not out much money) and a bottle of WD40.

The last item I received was a set of wheels from Joe Young. Mavic A719 36H with Phil Wood touring hubs. I put a set of Schwalbe Marthon Plus tires on, which were really really really easy to get on the Mavic rims. I was pleasantly surprised since they were such a pain to get on the stock Alex DA16 rims that came with my cross check.

I got a set of teeny 424 Channel Lock pliers and a Lutz 2-in-1 screwdriver to replace the spoke wrench and a generic muli-tool in my toolkit. About a quarter of the weight of the multi-tool, and I carry an Opinel pocket knife, anyway.

New drivetrain parts for my fixed commuter / do-everything bike (Surly Cross-Check w/ 37c WTB All Terrain tires and SKS fenders). Surly 39 and 42t stainless chainrings, Sugino messenger cranks in 170mm black, and Surly Dingle 17/20t fixed cog. Will give 68 or 53 gear inches for road and trails.

That trailer looks awesome. Its not as expensive as I had imagined it would be. It makes me want to get one and do some serious touring, but I don't know when I will have time to do something like that in the next year.

UPDATE 6/7/2011. MY REVIEW OF THE 235. Well I've wasted more $$ than what this costs. Save yours, as far as this light is concerned. The runtime on this thing was barely one hour. Not acceptable to me for commuting. It's a bright light that did the trick. But who wants to put new batteries in every day. Not me. Note. I was using Ray-O-Vac Hybrid rechargeable batteries. Alkalines would probably last longer but who wants to spend $100 /year on batteries. So I gave this light to the wife.

The Specialized tires that came with my bike finally started picking up bad stuff in the road and eating tubes like a buffet. Had 2 flats this morning and had to walk my bike a couple miles to the bike shop to get a new tube at least. I ended up getting Continental Gatorskin tires and new tubes for a decent deal.
Before the Gatorskins, my latest purchase was a set of Shimano PD-M540 SPD Pedals in silver. Gonna get shoes for the pedals in a month or so.
