What have you bought for the bike today ?

[harrison_888]

Replacement gloves and socks ready for a long ride this weekend.

Socks (these are thicker than I envisaged and although wiggle describes them as breathable and suitable for warm and colder weather):

Mitts:

I’ve also purchased chain lube and brake pads which are even less interesting than socks and mitts so I won’t post a link

Thank you!! It's not my real birthday till 22nd August! and I will be 30

Welcome to the 30 club (in August). Everything begins to creak and all my clothes have shrunk...I’m sure you’ll be fine though.

Thanks darling!!

30 is not as bad as 25 was and it's nothing to what 40 is and as for 50 .

But......................This is coming at it from a blokes perspective, women seem to get more attractive as they age.

Just ordered another Camelbak Podium bottle but in 600ml size as I've since discovered the 750ml size won't fit under the top tube when in the seat tube cage. These things are friggin huge.

I guess you have the big chill version with the liner inside too keep cool. They are massive compared to the standard 720ml version.

Edit, just seen your earlier post. Yep, big chill.

My trusty old beto track pump expired. Tonight, I thought I'm not messing about...down my LBS.. got a TruFlo track pump, the best one at the price I was prepared to pay. It does the job perfectly on its first try. I'm sure I could have got it cheaper...or maybe a better one...but tonight I just wanted one, I'm not faffing about

 

[Justinitus]

Technically Sunday, but I ordered a Topeak Ridecase for my luddite iphone 5 for £9. Arrived today and I’m really impressed, so I ordered another one for the other bike -much cheaper than the mount on its own and I have a spare case!

Yesterday arrived my Schwalbe Cityjet 26 x 1.5" Skinwall tyres.
Except they aren't skinwall. They're black...all around. Now I've got 2 sets of the bloody things.
Guess it'll be a while before I have nice tan walled tyres on my rig. Meh.

Send them back?

 

[Vantage]

Considered that one. The sellers are expecting me to pay the return postage for their cock up. Given that I've already paid for them to be delivered I ain't doing it again.
