What have you bought for the bike today ?

[RoubaixCube]

Waiting for a pricematch on a pair of Shimano Tiagra R451's to upgrade the crappy Tektro R315's R539's on my Triban. For a while now ive been floating in and out of the idea of selling this bike on.

::EDIT::

Alternatively, I could get the R650's instead if i choose to keep the bike

My latest order from CRC was waiting on my doorstep when I got home from work. The major item in it was a cycling jersey which I was really hoping would be my next commuting jersey. My requirements for this are fairly specific:

• good fit (obviously);
• full-length front zipper;
• 3 rear pockets + 1 extra zip pocket.

This jersey has all of these. It's one of these ones: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/au/en/endura-fs260-pro-iii-short-sleeve-jersey-aw16/rp-prod147466

For meant the bike some arm warmers and a winter hat from This Is Cambridge;

Plus a big Wiggle order consisting of

Tortec rack
Sks Blumels mudguards
Halo skewers
Lifeline cables

All for the Escape re-build

And some Sportful overshoes for me.

Last night I bought a 23mm tyre for the front of the commuter. I've been using a 25mm but my brake bolt hole has been drilled a mm or two low and clearance between the tyre and the mudguards is non existent unless the wheel is in the bottom of the drop outs.

In another winterisation mode a few weeks ago and bought these as back ups (should have waited though seeing they've been reduced )

Can't recall buying anything other than nutrition recently though.

Replacement mudflap for the front mudguard on the Brompton. I've had super stylish but functionally rubbish wooden mudguards on for several years, got fed up so @Flying Dodo re-fit the original mudguards only to find the flap had gone AWOL in the garage somewhere. Brilliant Bikes to the rescue as always for anything Brompton-related. (We bought one for the Bickerton as well. )

 

[Elybazza61]

Aldi lobster gloves for £4 plus latest Wiggle order of some Sportful sotto zero gloves(for cold club rides),some tubes for the 32c tyres,Lezyne patch kit,Assos chamois cream and mtb brake cables.

 

[greekonabike]

A set of mudguards, saddle bag, and a pump. A pair of winter gloves for myself.

A compass to fit onto the audax bike. Just in case my instructions go wrong ... again!

A Craft jersey and UVEX rain cap for myself. Oh, and the 12 'free' SIS energy bars.

Finally - this frame for 99p. I collect Saturday. I'm presuming it's a Spesh Hotrock 13" frame, crankset plus either a 7-speed rear 24" or 26" wheel:

I haven't seen this thread up to now so I'll cheat a little bit and say what I've recently bought (wasn't today though):

• Modolo Gran Fondo handlebars
• Velo Orange 90mm 17° stem (nice and shiny)
• Selection of 'silver' spacers*
• Crane Sakura spacer bell

*I will be replacing an NVO spacerless sleeve but not cutting down the steerer


I've yet to get some handlebar tape (musing over gel/cork but I want to go to the shop to see/feel what I'm getting) and I'm thinking that fitting all this stuff will be a good way to spend a cold wet day during the Christmas break

Yesterday I picked up a little order from Halfords:

5L Muc Off Bike Wash
2 x Joe Blow Track Pumps
2 x Muc Off brushes
2 x Halfords 700c tubes

Why just buy one of anything when you can have two!

 

[HLaB]

Not really for the bike but for me, I bought some SIS energy bars to get free p&p for their 'free' gels.

Not really for the bike but for me, I bought some SIS energy bars to get free p&p for their 'free' gels.

Mine arrived today along with a Garmin mount for the Cannondale and a Ass Saver for the S/S

 

[greekonabike]

I had a sprocket brush arrive in the post this morning. I'm hoping my slightly more substantial order containing mudguards and a saddle bag turns up tomorrow.

Bought a KMC X10 red coloured chain for my youngest's Argon for next season's racing:

Oh, and my brake cable pliers snapped yesterday so there's a new pair en route.

 

[Biff600]

A speed/cadence sensor for the Garmin, however, I'd be better off getting a big sign on it saying 'DO NOT SWITCH OFF BEFORE UPLOADING' after todays cock up !!
