What have you bought for the bike today ?

[Eribiste]

I've gone a bit extravagant and bought a Spurcycle bell. Jolly costly, but oh so nicely made. Every single component, right down to the securing screw is a thing of beauty. Even the box it comes in is well crafted.

Very nice indeed but £50 for a bell!

The RockBros version I've recently ordered from HK was £4.98. Another one here for £4.29!
I've seen a review comparing the two and the original is better made, and sounds better apparently, but I have one of the copies and very acceptable quality, looks good, and is loud and clear. A very good £5 worth!

I know, it's outrageous, but then some people buy an Aston Martin when an Audi would serve very well. Some stuff is just soooo nice... (Not that I can afford an Aston or an Audi. My drive is adorned? by a Ford).

I bought a bag for the brompton and the block to fix it
Not the cheapest bag I've ever bought but seems OK quality

New chain and brake pads

Well not today but yesterday:
Cleaned my bike

The baby wipe I was using were useless (too soft kept on breaking) so I gave into temptation and used WD40 (the chain/cassette is getting replaced before the next time anyway)

So I bought one of these in case I give into temptation again http://www.eatmydirt.eu/

New tyres as i gave up kidding myself they were ok after 4 flats this year already .

 

[johnnyb47]

It was a new track pump for me today with the added luxury of it being fitted with a pressure gauge. My old one didn't have one fitted leaving it down to guesse work as to what pressure my tyres where. It broke the bank at £9.50 from Wilkos.

A pair of Vittoria Voyager Hypers for spares.
A pair of Cateye rear view mirrors. One to replace the current scratched to death one and one as spare in case they shoot up in price again. Going for almost 30 quid a pop the other week on amazon!
A new cam....I miss re-watching how close I came to dying from tipper close passes.

A redshift shock stop and a chinese knockoff of the ergon cf3 seat post both work very well

 

[RoubaixCube]

£50 off ebay. Absolutely mint condition.

That plug isn't UK compliant. Local Trading Standards have seized loads of electricals with that design.

Dont worry, its easy just to change the cable. Ive got two spare magic shine chargers that have a more blocky looking plug that i use anyway.
