What have you bought for the bike today ?

[Vantage]

A Tacx wheel truing stand coz once again, my Spa built rear wheel is bent.
Their reputation is slowly going down the toilet for me.

 

[Gravity Aided]

More downtube cable stops, this time not curved on the back. I believe this is my third pair this year. I have converted a 1986 Trek 600 to brifters, a 1986 Schwinn Passage tourer to bar ends, and will soon convert a 2011 Raleigh Sojourn to bar ends as well. If this keeps up, it may be cheaper for me to get a milling vise and set up the drill press and tap and die set, and make my own.

 

[8mph]

A gold service for the tourer, which includes, 2x hub service, wheel truing, new cables all-round, headset stripped and regreased. I'm having the bottom bracket replaced and having 2 x Schwalbe Mondial 700 x 40mm wire bead tyres fitted.
Specialized rear rack.

 

[AuroraSaab]

Bought a D lock in the sale at Evans. Much bigger and heavier than I thought. Will now need to buy a rucksack to carry it round in.

 

[MrGrumpy]

New Northwave SPD shoes, £20 cheaper on CRC compared to Wiggle ???? Plus a new front light, Exposure Strada 900 from Wiggle Ebay shop.

Two pairs of track nuts
A pair of valve extenders

[MrGrumpy]

Winter Rain jacket out of Decathlon, cannot find any of mine since moving house !

 

[Nebulous]

Bought a new Hollowtech II bottom bracket. It arrived at 5:15 and I had it installed by 7:30. It came with the adaptor for the Park tool, and seemed more straightforward to replace than the old Hollowtech ones. My memory may be playing tricks though, as it is a long time since I did one.

 

[Domus]

A folding bike stand from the Cycle Show in Birmingham, and two kiddies jerseys for the grandkids.

 

[DCLane]

Bought another bike:

That's my three winter 'projects' now bought.

 

[Alex H]

A pair of Marathon Plus to replace the cheapo ones that came with the bike (and succumbed to a minute thorn giving me a slow puncture for the last 6 miles of the ride )

 

[tom73]

Cycle show freebies and a couple of bargain cycle mags.

Been wanting something that fit's in a pocket and don't need worry about remembering to take stuff out the saddle bag.
When out in town on the bike so bought this nifty carbon fibre muti tool tyre lever combo. Needed a mini chain breaker away way.
Uk made , life time guarantee and at the show offer price too good to miss.

 

[Tom B]

Noticed that the outers on my everyday bike are worn through where they rub.

Found that Merlin sell SP41 outer in precut lengths. Sp bought some of that and two ss gear cables.

While there I bought a new spoon saddle, some winter gloves, some summer mtb gloves and a hip pop lock which will be perfect for the nursery run.

Dear those outers.

I didn't know Merlin were based at Chorley... Anyone know if they let you pick up?

 

[fossyant]

A Praxis GXP BB - only slightly more than the SRAM and it comes in BLACK, SRAM only do grey now. £5 more than SRAM and a damn sight better made, and the right colour !
