Finally got the SWAT door for my new 2016 SJ FSR frame that was a warranty replacement for the 2015 one that snapped. Its got that new hatch thingy, which is really quite remarkable.

Can you guess what's in mine today? Absolutely no physical prizes for being correct, but kudos and self gratification points will be awarded 🙂

Hold it right there cowboy. Is that an actual glove box on a bike frame?

I never knew I needed one of them, but now I do. Bloody brilliant

At first I thought it was a mini blow up hooker doll and a bag of coke.

But then I realised it's a bag of Bertie Bassetts and probably just a bag of weed.

So these things are like a Narnia cupboard are they? Do the contents change magically every night at midnight, or is it just a lot of stuff with one being removed every day liek an advent calendar?

I knew I should have saved up and got one, then I too could have had Allsorts today.

It needs one of those spring-in-a-can-of-nuts things packed in there.

Now that gentlemen's magazines are no longer readily available in hedgerows, that looks like an ideal method to carry your own out into the countryside.

Best keep your self gratification points, I think you will be needing them.

Hmm, you could get a motor in there.

Yes, it's attached by 2 nuts and bolts to the lid.

I think many of you will find the actual results even more exciting than you imagined! Ahem.

So - yesterday we actually had:
Spare 29er tube (with a lot of talc)
Tyre levers
tube patches
2x 25gm CO2 thingies with adapter
Spare mech hanger
Pedal Sock (TM) - a manky old sock that is used on pedal when on packraft or car to prevent scrapes, this time used to hold above spares

in a Brucey/generation game style: Bassets Liquorice Allsorts!

A chocolate chip muffin made by my daughter's pal's mum
a stroopwaffle folded in half (won't fit in whole. Is disappoint)

Of course, secreted elsewhere on the frame are the multitool, chain tool and spare links. Pure dead clever by the way.

I reckon at least a medium sized baguette would fit, only about 1/2-2/3rds full with that lot in it. Although, might have to remember what gets shoved up there, don't want a repeat of the 1991 DoE award gold award hike 'packet of bacon left in backpack since previous year's silver hike' incident. 🙁

What will be in the SWAT Hatch next time? Who knows! Maybe I should get Loyd Grossman to host?

Kevins replacement bike has arrived at work today so I've been thinking how much of my back pack can be off loaded into the hatch so he can carry it. Abigale says it should be full of Haribos.

This is close ish to me...

Only in medium, but I guess if it does not fit I have myself a nice carbon rolling storage device?

If it belonged to one of my friends it would have mystery items added every time I was near it.
Kayaks belonging to certain people travelling abroad by plane have previously included, VHS porn, bricks, 1 gallon of industrial washing up liquid, the complete first series of Friends on VHS and my personal favourite just before he left for a 2 week expedition in Cali was 40 frozen sausages under the seat.

The SWAT box game has so many possibilities.

Ps - I quite fancy the new Enduro with one myself

Bike glove box has just gone straight to the top of the 'must have' features of my next bike. The new enduro even has this and a threaded bottom bracket. Ideal

Pretty good way to carry your repair kit imo. Ideal if you don't want it all in a pack or just want to carry a small bladder pack.
