What have you bought for the bike today ?

[Jameshow]

After considering 475 different options and opinions I have bought some Gravel King Semi Slicks in 35s for the stonking summer we might have

That's done it ...

I've brought a goretex jacket...!🤣

More of a neon yellow than a neon green.
Hopefully the bit's I've bought match and don't clash ... I'll post the obligatory photo once they arrive.

Further purchases included some Supercaz bar tape and some Lizard Skins bar end plugs in colour schemes as closely matching the theme as I could find.

The result is a mix of neon green and neon yellow, but for now it is good enough for who it is for. May try and iterate on getting things more closely matched in future?

I used up the last of my maltodextrin on my midweek 115 km ride. At 01:00 today I ordered a 2.5 kg bag for £9.99 from Bulk, via Amazon, and by the mighty power of Prime it is due to arrive any time now!

More Titanium. Fixings that is. Race spec; drilled now. Because the standard ones are so yesterday 🙄

And, just like that...

Whatever one might think of Bezos, 15 14(!) hours delivery time is pretty impressive !

Emergency fibre spoke kit & TPU inner tube for my gravel bike. Both are just in case for touring.

Easy when you have a defacto monopoly, abuse workers rights and pay no tax.

Enjoy the maltodextrin.

For £10 bought a used Planet X carbon fibre fork for my road bike from our local bike recycling shop. The original steel thing weighed a ton. I managed to drill out the rusty seized brake back nut and my local bike shop took their grinder to the rusted on crown race after their £300 Park tool failed to pull it. Worth every penny of the fiver they charged me. I like the idea of installing a troubled, used carbon fork to a bike whose theme is blackness, death and the occult. If the fork fails and I die you may conclude that i brought it upon myself. It looks really good though, and it rides very nicely. Slightly shorter from headset to axle and a little less offset.
