How much have you spent on your bike this year.

[paul04]

Having spent a couple of hours yesterday cleaning both bikes I have, got me thinking on how much money I have spent on bike maintenance this year,

Just on essential items to keep the bikes going.

Road bike, £40 on 2 new tyres.
MTB, 3 new tyres, 2 sets of brake blocks, 3 inner tubes, 2 puncture repair kits, bike pump. so about £70

How much have you spent!!

Well I only started riding again back in October but so far I've replaced:
2 tyres £40
2 tubes £10
Lights £30 (on sale)
new saddle £25 (on sale)
and if you count the cleaning stuff....some disc cleaner and chain lube £10

I have built two new bikes this year, I am not going to add it all up, the wife might read this thread.

This year on bike stuff, must be at least £2-2.5k . Although quite a lot is sitting on an interest-free CC so technically I've not spent anything

Pump, track pump, cycling attire, insurance excess after bike was stolen from shed with everything attached, extra security for said shed = £300ish not bad I don't think

I'm not going to go there. I want to keep the illusion that I've spent very, very little.

Service, £30, then the whole drive train replaced and a full service, £170. Not bad. Oh, and panniers, triple Raleigh, £25 off Amazon. No lights this year, need a new front one from Phaart so that's a Lady Godiva, £230 for the year. Happy with that.

 

[Maverick Goose]

Not as much as I'd like

Bog all this year, haven't even spent money on using tap water to wash it. Oh hang on, I did find a really nice Howies ss jersey in a chariddy shop for £3.

Way too much, though I have got a decent stock of spare parts now for when things do need replacing.

It's the list of things still to buy that has me worried

 

[RedRider]

New lights, new brake pads, new tyres, finally coughed up for the second-hand saddle I'd 'borrowed', an aldi workstand, posh deda bars, Mr Sheen x2. Around 60p per day! Will probably get new brake levers before Jan. Next year I'm hoping to add N+1.

Don,t really want to add it all up, just starting to think about it makes me sit uncomfortably suffice to say i could be sat on a tropical beach right now if it wasn't for my hobby

Pair of tyres, £50.
Chain lube, £5.
3600 miles of cycling; priceless.
