What have you bought for the bike today ?

Welcome to the Dark Side . . .

New rear wheel. The current one has dodgy pawls and the LBS said it's uneconomic to repair. Soon getting new tyres f+r + tubes.

New bar bag from Camelchops which matches the bike it will be attached to, the pink Velcro is just for added colour there’s no pink on the bike!

I needed a couple of those little end caps for my brake cables. I could have got a packet of 100 for £3 plus £3 p&p but what do I do with the other 98.

Went to LBS VELOCITY 44 he gave me a handful in a plastic bag for a few penny's, just what I needed.

Not all bought today, but over the last few weeks i’ve been tracking down a few bottles to go with some of my bikes/kit. A couple are not in great shape but they will be for the look rather than drinking from.

I bought an Eagle 2 speed kickback hub the other day, and a new rim and spokes since it would not fit my old wheel.

Erm ... I've just bought a bike. That wasn't planned! But it was cheap (very cheap for a 531-framed complete bike), only that it'll need a giant to ride it - does anyone know someone who's about 13' 6"?

So that's -1 (Wilier ) and +2 (free Dawes Galaxy tourer and this) = +1 this week and I'm still £400 up

Also some cheap emergency rear lights, a BB30-Shimano BB and an Absolute Black 36T chainring for son no. 2's new bike.

SKS Explorer Edge Frame Bag
Went out yesterday with phone, keys and a snack bar stuffed into a 3-wood golf club headcover tied to bike seat - so time to get a proper bag.

Multi Tool
In case something goes wrong while out on a ride, at least I'll have some tools, even if I haven't a clue what to do with them.

Mini-pump
Already have a puncture repair kit but it's not much use without a pump!

@cycling_eejit - a spare tube? Maybe I'm incompetent but I never successfully repair tubes.

I never knew there was such a bewildering array of tire sizes, once I figure out what I need, a tube is next on the list.

Your tyre size is on the side; it'll probably be a 700c or 26" but if you're stuck ask on here and someone will guide you as to what's needed

That is awesome, but I am not going down that rabbit hole, as soon as I saw all the cool stuff it can pair to I bailed on the idea passive jay can't afford all that! I will stick to checking my rearview mirror.

New cages/bottle to replace the very tatty old stuff
