What have you bought for the bike today ?

[DCLane]

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.

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

 

[fossyant]

A spare vintage Shimano M570 44T chainring for my commuter. I always acquire a spare soon after replacing it. I get 12 to 18 months out of them.

I didn't to be fair, the difference between them is pretty minor and I've previously adapted one garmin holder with minor fettling. It fits pretty easily just it didn't click into position as nicely as the correct item.

 

[Punkawallah]

Bar tape from China. Had to order some for a project, so got another pair for the Galaxy. Doesn’t need it yet, but it’ll go in the box with the rest of the spares.
