This week's cycle purchases

[Black Country Ste]

All from Lidl: A jersey, long tights, two pairs of socks and two sets of spoke reflectors.

I don't like the trousers. They were bought to wear over my bib shorts (I don't 'do' commando) but two layers of chamois isn't going to work. Wearing shorts over tights would be silly and I wouldn't wear them on their own, so back to the shop they're going.

@Black Country Ste I regularly wear baggy shorts over bib shorts/longs because not everyone wants to see a massive coiled weapon hammocked up by lycra....

 

[Puddles]

...but, but, but it's got brake levers. I thought you only had to pedal backwards to stop.

It has thingy brakes on the front wheel with the block things, on the back it is a Sturmey Archer Hub not coaster brakes so no pedaling backwards as far as putting things technically I fink possibly perhaps

A jersey, hooded jacket and gloves from Lidl and a Tigra Universal Bike Console from Halfords.

Having not enjoyed wearing synthetic t-shirts in the past, the top feels weird, which I suspect was the moisture wicking properties. I'm not quite ready for the Lycra look yet. Will wearing an unbuttoned short-sleeved shirt over the top negate the wicking?

A pair of Panaracer Pasela tyres, a pair of Continental GP4 season tyres and a set of tyre levers.

I added a vital piece of equipment to my extensive tool box, I don't know how I have survived for so long without one. A chain wear checker from Rutland cycles.

 

[the_mikey]

A KMC X9-93 Chain for the MTB, I keep busting the side plates off on Shimano chains, I hope the KMC is better

KMC chains are all I have!
