Accessories for a Carrera Crossfire 3
Let's start with mudguards.
My cycle has front suspension. I live in the United Kingdom in a small town called Whitstable. Sometimes I'll cycle to Canterbury and lock my bike up there. Haven't done it yet as I don't have the security accessories yet.
I ride for fun and supermarket shopping.
I ride gravel, rarely a bit of mud, and road or asphalt whatever it's called that cycle paths are made of.
Some quick research shows me this

mudguard is the best for front suspension. Will this fit and work on my cycle?
I want full maximum coverage. I also need a rear one.
I don't want people behind me getting sprayed.
I want a pannier rack. Don't know where to start. Some have spring mechanisms, others don't. Don't know anything about cycles really.
I need bike lights.
I need a way to transport bulky items like a large bucket for example.
I need to transport groceries. I buy big items sometimes like the biggest bag of pasta that's like 5kg or something. So it needs to be able to transport bigger grocery loads not little ones that's like a days worth of food.
Need somewhere to store my locks. I have a d lock kryptonite std gold secure, and I'm planning on buying a cable lock maybe. Both tyre's come as standard with quick release.
Is it worth buying hexlox magnetic ones? They cost about £100.
My bike is worth £400. Well that's how much I paid for it in June this year.
Or should I get a chain lock or a cable lock instead to secure the front wheel?
I need a kick stand.
Waterproof case for my phone that will still let me operate it normally and a way to mount it to the handlebars.
Puncture repair kit and or spare inner tubes.
Water bottles.
Helmet.
Waterproof clothing.
Maybe a front detachable basket?
Collared comfy ergonomic grips so they don't rotate, as the ones that come as standard rotate while cycling, causing tendinitus in my wrists for 3+ months.
A decent bell. The one that comes as standard is garbage.
Cleaning kit. Lube. What needs lubricating on a bike other than the chain?
Thanks
