Making my way slowly uphill
Just received a dummy hub, so I can degrease the chain without contaminating the disc brakes. Now to figure out how to do the cassette...

A new 11sp chain. I could only find a cassette of the ratio I needed on line though so I am waiting on it being dispatched; hopefully I won't need it but it'll be there if the new chain slips on the old cassette.
OT, I put Squirt wax lube on my commuter a month or two back when I put a new chain on it and I've only had to top it up as a precaution after riding through floods so I might treat this chain the same way.

A rear derailleur and cassette bought cheaply-enough via eBay.
Plus, like others, I picked up a pile of things from PlanetX's sale - some Viner Mitus bits just in case they go under and maintenance stuff. However, they don't seem to have much stock left.
Also, a pile of little bits from Swinnerton including a Ridley Helium bracket that the seller didn't provide in the box, then Hermes lost en route to me. And some carbon headset spacers.
That'll do for today ...

Some new pro one tubeless tyres. The packaging is damaged and the new tyres were going for £30 as a result. Normally around £50.

Not for my bike, but then, not my money:

Picked up a decently-priced Dura-Ace cassette and also a lightweight tub for the hillclimb wheels.
New shiny for the Van Nicholas.
Sick and tired of replacing Hollowtech II bottom brackets every few months, so swapped to square taper.
The crankset, Spa Cycles own, replaces an Ultegra one of which was worn and of whitch I'm bored of the plain, dark grey.

Oxford Aqua Evo handlebar bag, as in pic. 9L, IPX6 level waterproofing, nicely put together, and got it for under £30 delivered. Will do nicely for the forthcoming Fridays tour (this very Friday), can shift some of the weight from the panniers and will fit all the bikes.

Lots of room there now Stuart, I'll let you carry some of my gear if you like.
See you on Friday.

No thank you Peter. But thanks for the offer of additional resistance training, er, resistance…

Enough Swarfega to last a few years?
