What have you bought for the bike today ?

[Punkawallah]

A set of clip-on mini-lights for the Dawes Kingpin folder - bright enough to be noticed, small enough to fit in a pocket if not needed.

I'm going to give these Altura Arc 20 panniers a go. I have a pair of Altura Arran pannier that I get on with but want something waterproof for touring. These came up locally on eBay for £32 including the rack. I'm currently using a black rear disk rack which is mismatched with my silver front rack and sticks out unnecessarily.

No summer this year then.

First aid kit

Replacement foam inserts for one of my helmets. I hope it is a case of one size fits all, we shall see ?

Second-hand seat post for the Hack from my FLBS to replace the ever-so-slightly too skinny one that needed a shim, £1.

The Evans Cycles store nearest my workplace is closing down in 4 weeks and so everything is "up to" 60% off (though some items obviously aren't at anywhere near that maximum discount).

Went in and snagged four inner tubes and seven CO2 canisters for only £41 (RRP was £74). I needed to stock up anyway, so it wasn't an unneeded purchase, merely one I was bringing forward to take advantage of this opportunity.

Kit to prepare and modify the Merida Big Nine Forty for London-to-Brighton in June. So far, it's just Schwalbe tubes ( 2 replacement, 2 spare), KMC X9 chain, and the second-most-serious mod, some North Road bars. The most-serious mod is a Boost Kit. I'm hoping this and the bars will get me out more often generally, post-L-2-B. The Scott Speedster S50 will be moved on, so just the one bike left.

I bought some nice Shimano MTB shoes for my daughter ages ago 'for the future' in a size 40 - she's too big for them now, so will sell them, but have taken a punt on these in a 41 from Aliexpress of all places, reviews are good, and they set me back an entire £23!
She's tried them on already, and the fit is good.

Clearly nothing ground breaking, but for the amount of use they will get and power she'll be putting out, I think they are perfectly fine.

My partners Diadora MTB shoes are really falling apart as well, so I might order her a pair as well.

For cycling generally, rather than my bikes specifically (as mentioned elsewhere)...

This is so I can mend some cycling clothing. Just one repaired item that doesn't need replacing will cover the tiny cost of the kit!

A different saddle that accommodates my painful tailbone that I damaged oh so many decades ago and is now hurting like a good 'un on my current saddle. Fingers crossed the cut out on this one will be sufficient.

Just won a auction on Ebay for some lightly used SKS Speedrocker mudguards which will be used (hopefully sparingly) on the Pickenflick flatbar.

 

[DCLane]

Continuing my 'pair' theme I've picked up a pair of Dura-Ace 9100 pedals.

Boost kit ordered. Unfortunately, they are currently awaiting the new display units, so unless they arrive soon, I'll make do with the app running on an old iPhone 6S that I have spare. More on this project in the Projects section.

Set of SKS mudguards and a new bash hat.
