What have you bought for the bike today ?

[GeekDadZoid]

This lot at incoming over the last few days, all here now and fitted this morning. I really rate these modern Sturmey Archer shifters, a worthwhile upgrade to the Union.

Standby tyres gp5000, a bunch of co2 cartridges, alloy valve caps and a base layer.

A Dawes MTB for my daughter - it needs new tyres so a pair of Schwalbe Black Jacks have been ordered and a purple bottle cage.

Fiver for the bag from Aldi

I got this Basil basket for my 65 Moulton. The basket is coated in rubber as well as the mounting brackets . Its a little long but I think it looks ok. It mounts nicely.

What do u guys think?

• A pair of Pirelli tubs to replace one that de-laminated on Saturday during my son's race and another as a precaution.
• A pair of Elite Vico carbon bottle cages for his new Ridley that should arrive soon.
• A pair of Pirelli clinchers for me/him.
• A pair of cross tyres and tubes for the grasstrack bike below.

Also a Kona Paddy Wagon mostly-complete fixie to be used for grasstrack racing by him/me so the borrowed grasstrack bike can be returned. Just where I'm going to stick it is another matter

You have to be having a space for the borrowed one!

New cycle demands new Carradice Nelson Long Flap in green.

That's currently stored in the conservatory, locked up well. Domestically it's not a permanent home for bikes however.

But ... come September I should be getting access to my bike storage unit again. That'll take 3-4 bikes and pressure off things.

A 5nm Torque wrench, I do have an adjustable torque wrench, but I liked this simple 5nm one.

£15 from Sports Direct, yes, I had my doubts too, but I checked it against my adjustable torque wrench and it calibrated ok.

Picked up a WeeHoo last night for my youngest. Tested with my rack just got a few jobs to do on it.

Best thing is it cost me £20

All go at the moment, got this Karrimor bag for my Raleigh.

Prices for Karrimor stuff seems quite high on eBay, anyone else noticed?

New derailleur cables as the rear one in the Spa Elan snapped and brake pads for the same bike as the rears are almost down to the metal. Turns out that these were the only consumables that I didn't have spares for in the shed so I've doubled up on both products.

Some powder coat...
Probably going to be a month before the frame is ready though.
Also had a nice day out in Malden. That's the furthest I've driven in a year or so.

 

[DCLane]

A tyre for the Dawes Kingpin build plus a pair of cotter pins and some Sturmey Archer lock-washers.

A double bike cover.
