What have you bought for the bike today ?

[gbb]

Reserved and waiting for collection on Monday probably, 2x 7 speed Shimano chains from Halfords, £3.29 each I think.
I was going to get some Wilco taya ones at £3.50 each but there's no stock.

A Humpert Change 2, 1 inch adjustable quill stem from SJS Cycles for £9.99. With a quill length of 180mm, I am hoping to find a comfortable body position for longer rides on my trusty 1995 Orange C16r. My back's been playing up recently. I don't expect it to look cool - the name certainly isn't! However, it's more cool than keeping off the bike for months and turning into an unfit lump. Anticipate that I will need new inner and outer cables this weekend too as the current ones will limit how high I can get the bars. Fettling fun!

For my Raleigh RX Comp. 15 moths old and done around 1000 miles.

New disc pads front and rear. Organic from Evans
New 46 tooth chainwheel (old one has gone a bit sharks fin). Stronglight from Halfords.
New chain (KMC from Wiggle).

I bought a pair of Fulcrum Racing Sport DB wheels so I have two sets of wheels, the Fulcrums shod with road tyres and the originals with 32mm nobblies.
Front wheel bearings shot, and rear freehub gone notchy. Disappointing Fulcrum original equipment, I think.
So new Enduro front wheel bearings bought (Wych Bearings), and new freehub bought (local LBS)

Bought a new front light which is now v cheap on wiggle

And new rear cateye, too. Old front died after 6 years and the old rear has been relegated to a clip mount for my rucksack.

Thank you for the link. I have just bought one for myself. I had a Cateye Volt 100 and it was very good but the button stopped working after 6 months or so, but for £12 for the better one, it's worth the risk. When my Moon comes back from being fixed, the Cateye will be fab for Hubster.

Not today but yesterday:
New 12-32 cassette, new chain, new cables. All drive train components cleaned and beautiful and a full service. From my local Halfords who are an exceedingly good bunch of folks. Actually better than my LBS, plus I get 10% off as a BC member.
Bought new Altura waterproof gloves too as the puppy ate one of my Sealskinz. They were only 5 years old and had loads of life left in them

New chain for the mtb.
Set of quick link pliers.
Tube of grease for the grease gun.

And not strictly for the bike, but for the bike shoes... Decathlon boot driers.

Not the loudest of bells but its small, discreet and doesnt take up a huge amount of space on the bar. Quite a functional peice of kit.

I've just dug out my wife's Volt 100 from the garage off her underused bike and found the same problem.
Anyone know if there's a DIY fix?

My two Smart R1 lights finally arrived from Planet-x. Disappointed that they are the revised versions with no pulse mode.

Had to chase up my order with Planet X this morning, Ordered on the 1st and theyve only just arrived. I think Royal Mail either lost it in the sorting office or just just dumped it somewhere and forgot to post it.

Hmmm, I'll probably keep one as spare and sell the other one on. big LED on it is super bright though. Im actually seeing red rings on my pc monitor as im typing this... blinding!

Also -- bit the bullet and ordered a Kask Mojito

Bought some dry lube today thinking that it's warming up, then came back and saw that it's gonna rain tomorrow. Oh well.

I bought one of them a few weeks ago.


Today I've ordered a new BB - I must be doing something wrong - Ive only been getting 3k. So ive ordered a Shimano UN55 rather than pattern parts from sunrace.

Ive also just collected these. Not strickly for the bike, but for cycling

Not yet convinced they're man enough for the job.
