So much Cycle related spending this week;

Bought 4 Conti GP5000 Tan wall 700c x 25mm Clincher Tyres for stock, £30 each from Sigma Sports.
Used Code SIGNUP10 for £10 off orders over £100 and 3% back via Quidco so less than £27 per tyre.

A pair of Oakley Radar Prism Road sunglasses from ProBikeKit.

Also bought a Rapha rain Jacket and Socks in their sale.

Also more base layers, 2 short sleeve & 2 long sleeve in the Le Col sale, the best base layers I’ve ever had. Used my £50 off Strava voucher so excellent value.

Finally a new Garmin Edge out front mount for my Dolan from Ebay.

 

[Gwylan]

Erm, mundane but necessary. A CEN5 padlock and Sold Secure Gold U bolt.
The thieving scroats will have to work harder next time.

My Specialized Roubaix has a Dura Ace 7900 groupset apart from the Ultegra brakes so I bought a pair of new old stock 7900’s so everything matches now.

I bought my first ever brand new bike. GT Avalanche Expert. Very happy.

 

[DCLane]

A couple of base layers for son no.2 as we found he hadn't got many summer ones when sorting his stuff for university.

A Dura-Ace 9100 brake caliper.

A carbon front wheel - just need the matching RSP Calavera one now.

Some rear brake pads for the Shimano CX-50's on the Avanti Circa.

What pads did you go for? I have the cx-50s on my Super Galaxy and I am using dura-ace ones and find them naff in the wet. I'll probably put some Fibrax ones on tomorrow if I get chance as I have some in stock, but would be interested in experience.

 

[Salad Dodger]

2 spare tubes (my new bike has 27.5 inch wheels for which I have no spare tubes)
Some chain lube
A new water bottle

Just the standard Shimano CX-50 pads. I've tried a couple of others and struggled to get them to work well.

The CX-50 pads are expensive though.

Ahh ok, I converted to dura-ace holders soni can use cartridge style pads.

Not today, they arrived last week, new brake-pads for the 'Digestive'
They were over half-worn, and lever-travel was getting excessive for my preference
The rears were 'glazed', & squealing too
