Senior Managements Boardman has a pair of Schwalbe (Citizen - whatever they are?? - look like the Marathon tread) with reflective banding, it's very effective

Mudguards added, since this picture

A pair of headset spanners.
It's a tool you don't need much these days, but I still have a few bikes with threaded headsets.
Now I've paid for them the old ones will turn up, obviously!

 

[ianrauk]

New set of brake and gear cables and some bar tape.
Got a weeks holiday next week so am going to strip the commuter bike down and give it a right old going over.

Just arrived before I walked out the door. A pair off Giro cylinder off rd shoes fit just right too

 

[Reynard]

A shirt sleeved jersey (wishful thinking in this weather!), a long sleeved thermal jersey (went up a size so it can double up as a jacket) and a pair of MTB shorts with removable padded undershorts.

These arrived this morning. The jerseys are fine, but the shorts have to go back as they're like a circus tent. And the reviews all said that the shorts come up a bit on the small side...

A pair of Vittoria G+ tyres, and another impulse ebay purchase of a pair of wheels with Campagnolo Chorus hubs and Mavic Open Pro rims.

I may need therapy to cure the bike wheel accumulation, I clearly have too many, evidenced by the fact I can't remember off-hand how many I actually have.

I just went to check, oh dear, 15 pairs of fully working road wheels and 1 pair for spares/repair, and 1 pair of MTB wheels. I don't even have a shed so they are all dotted around the house

My old cycling shoes are literally falling apart. I have reglued them 3 or 4 times but the interval between repairs has fallen from every 5 or 6 rides to every 1 or 2 now. The straps are not going to last much longer and the metal loops they pass through are breaking - I have replaced 2 broken loops with loops of cable tie.

So, it was time to buy new shoes. I'm skint so they had to be cheap but I didn't want to risk some unknown Chinese brand on eBay. I have had problems with Shimano shoes being way too tight but I have taken a chance and ordered a bargain pair I found at Chain Reaction Cycles - THESE. To be on the safe side I have gone up 2 shoes sizes, on the grounds that the last pair were too tight, 1 size above my usual.

I'll report back when they arrive in a few days time.

Lovely Carradice Bagman support for my fixie and Nelson Longflap saddlebag.

 

[Tenkaykev]

Red socks and an Italian silk red/black tie to match my Brompton

Arrived yesterday, two new road helmets - one for me in black, and one for my son is bright green. Very pleased.
