What have you bought for the bike today ?

[ColinJ]

Go rowing, that would sort the upper body ot, but you need an open stretch of water for that.

Or a Concept 2?

Two TPU inner tubes and a longer handlebar stem.

Having gone more than a year without a puncture I got two in my last three rides so thought I'd try TPU instead of Butyl - just for a change. Before my last ride I moved my saddle forward quite a bit but felt cramped up on the ride so a longer stem will be fitted tomorrow to see if that helps.

A pair of these. And a pair for spares - as they’re now used on 2 (Or 3 ?) of my bikes.

Doesn’t seem long ago they were £15 a pair.

Now £23 each inc delivery 🙄

Pair second hand, chrome rimmed 27” wheels for a 50’s Dawes frame I am re-building. Hopefully they will a, fit, and b, work.

Ultegra brake pads came today .....simple job to swap right ?
The small retaining screw was a barsterward to get out....ended up with mole grips after rounding the head on two of them.
Yes I did put some grease on the new screws....

A Charge Ladle saddle, bought from someone on here. The saddle that came with the Hotrock offends my bottom.

Some craft cadence TPU tubes, a variety of sizes and lengths - they also have removable cores, not always a good thing.
They currently have an offer of buy 3 get 1 free, so works out at about £13 each.
I now have 4 makes of TPU tube, Pirelli, Craft Cadence, RideNow, and Schwalbe Aerothan - only the RideNows I have yet to fit to anything, the other 3 will all be in use in a variety of bikes, and or carried for spares.

Craft Cadence TPUs

Not quite the same thing tho', ok for gym bunnies, but can't beat being out on open water in a proper skiff, it's the reason I go cycling, over riding a static bike, much better being in the elements.

No doubt true, but I can't see (nearly) 70 year old me rowing up and down the Rochdale canal!

I cycle along the Exe Estuary Trail several times a year. The young people I see rowing up and down the river seem to be having a lot of fun. Even at my age, I would be tempted to have a go if I actually lived there.

Well, they fit, and (bar a hub service) they work. Hurrah!
Just a cola/tinfoil job to get the rust off, clean, dish to bring the freewheel clear of the chain stay, true and adjust the axle on the rear wheel to give more space for the wheel nut to do its thing.
No problem :-)

Promo Titanium crank pinch bolts. And Stainless crank-cap bolts for the ongoing BMX build. Looking at / tightening those supplied Black Oxide articles on what’s an expensive crank set-up did my head in….

Bought a new helmet as the existing one was getting quite long in the tooth.

I also assembled the bike rack for the garage. As you can see, I have quite a bit of tidying and sorting to do before it can be placed where it's going to go.

I also have a ground anchor I'll place near the rack once everything is in place.

Raceblade Pro XL’s for my singlespeeed.
