What have you bought for the bike today ?

[Biff600]

A new Garmin.

 

[Elybazza61]

Hope district rear light.

 

[Mrs M]

As I have been using my Altura pro gel’s for gardening
Had to invest in a nice warm replacement, hands were cold on yesterday’s ride.
Hope these do the job Lady GT Thermo glove.
Also ordered a set of Moon lights for my night rides
They’re not here yet.

The wrong tubes arrived yesterday. Schrader instead of presta (although I usually order for my hybrid which is Schrader in defence)

Got a Stages Ultegra 6800 G2. First test ride today was very interesting, albeit on a very poor weather day. Was with two mates and we had agreed that it would be a very chilled spin.

Did have a few little moments where I put the hammer down just to get used to the data. First impressions are that this is the ideal device for my analytical brain.

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

A Marathon Greenguard tyre. I didn't go into Halfords intending to buy a tyre but at £18 it worked out cheaper than I've seen it on the internet (by the time postage is included) so I'm happy to have a spare one ready for when I need it.

Stock up on batteries, my Stages crank eats them for breakfast, dinner AND tea !!!

Apart from that, they are excellent

I do have a few Panasonic ones in stock luckily. Cheers for the heads up though. Always good to hear from those with experience.

I bought my bike a packet of pork scratchings and a bottle of Guinness. It didn't appreciate them, so I had them instead.

 

[Mireystock]

Yesterday, an Exposure Joystick 12 helmet light. I will report back, apres 1st trip out with it.

 

[LeetleGreyCells]

Just ordered some new lights from Tredz, NiteRider Swift 350/Sabre 50 Combo USB Rechargeable Light Set. Meant to be £55, reduced to £35 then added a discount code to get them for £30.

Got to wait a few days until they arrive. Patience isn’t my strong suit.

 

[DCLane]

Not bought for, but bought: a NeilPryde Nazare - 2016 model with Shimano Ultegra 6800. I'd promised myself a 'decent' bike if I could ride again and saw this for sale in September. It went off sale but re-appeared this week and I bought it today:

It was up at the top end of my budget but hopefully will be worth it. If not, it'll become my son's new training / back-up race bike.

 

[arch684]

A new work bench,4 drawer tool box and a park tool wheel truing stand

 

[TheDoctor]

A set of Shimano 8 speed trigger shifters for my Ribble. The cheap gripshifters I fitted are horrid, very stiff to turn.

 

[Nigel-YZ1]

I ordered a new track pump. Hope it lasts as it's predecessor: 16 years.
