What have you bought for the bike today ?

[Jameshow]

A cheapo saddle with a cutout to try and alleviate the severe NNS*** that I have been suffering from when using my turbo trainer.

A small frame bag to hold my phone, snacks, cash etc. Tools and spares are in a backpack but it's a nuisance to keep having to ferret around in that for my phone every time that I want to take a photo.

I got rid of my Charge Spoon after a few very uncomfortable rides!

 

[All uphill]

A couple of pairs of USB rear lights as I've had two fail recently. Oh, and this:

Yep, that's a steering wheel. Bonus virtual cake for identifying the seat back rest

Seat back is from a Porsche, I'll guess a 928

Nope. Too many wheels on that choice

And given my winning bid for the bike was just £1.20 I'm happy with the purchase.

 

[Reynard]

Harley Davidson or Honda Goldwing, then...

What's the wheel size on that? 26?

 

[DCLane]

Virtual cake for @Reynard - apparently it's off a Honda Goldwing. The bike is a 26" wheel Giant Rock SE with a steering wheel welded to the fork steerer tube plus a metal plate welded to the seatpost, on which a plank with seat / seat back have been added. The shifters appear mostly complete, although without gear cables.

SWMBO wasn't impressed but son no. 2 has an idea of what to do with it all.

 

[Reynard]

It's just utterly bonkers. Don't think I'd want to try and ride that without a thick spread of crash mats in the immediate vicinity. It looks a bit *splooty*

 

[cyberknight]

Cheap HRM monitor for mywhoosh training.

 

[HLaB]

I fitted new Carbon pads tonight so I ordered some replacements.

 

[oxoman]

Managed to pick up some fixik x2 terra artica winterboots in my size +1 so they actually fit for £85 pounds. These are seriously good boots with the quirk there a tad tight getting on and off to start with. Massive saving, heres hoping they last a while.

 

[Gwylan]

Well, not bought but made.
A nice insulating jacket for the battery on my E-Bike. Worth a try, at least.
Saw the mileage fall off a cliff last winter. And having seen range >70 km this summer, don't want to slump back to the 40km range of last winter
Whether I'll want to cycle 70km when it's freezing or pouring down is quite another matter

 

[ianrauk]

A Raveman front light.
A nice bit of kit. A very bright light with a charger built in.
Sits in the Garmin mount with the Garmin sitting on top.
Keeps the bars nice and tidy.

 

[oxoman]

Ianrauk, is the garmin top ring removable do you know. Thinking it might be worth a punt if my Bryton gps mount will fit. Almost the same as garmin, just doesn't click into position as good when on a garmin mount.

Did you click on the link as I’m sure it says some of their lights are not compatible with Bryson mounts.

A pair of slick tyres and some clamp-on shifters for the Giant MTB upthread: https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/what-have-you-bought-for-the-bike-today.157446/post-7503196
