What have you bought for the bike today ?

Ah sorry, my bad!
My bike had Kenda K841 27.5" x 1.95" tyres that came as standard on Carrera Parva. I wanted less rolling resistance and I _think_ the Marathon Supreme 27.5x1.6" are slightly faster on tarmac. Actually, I think I am riding at the same speed as before, it just feels like I'm applying a bit less effort.

well worth the money then! I'm not a fan of kendas in general, the partner's carrera hybrid thing came with them

After my front dyno wheel arrived and was fitted I can't help but notice the black bladed spokes on the rear wheel. It upsets me so much I have ordered a rear wheel to match the Mavic rim and round shiny spokes.............tube and tyre as well.

I picked up a new Endura F260 jersey and matching mitts today I'd seen in the Rutland Cycles sale. Lol when I saw them mid week I thought I might have a chance to wear them soon. That cursed it, the weather has went back to normal now

Swapped the supplied Contis on my new Attain for Gatorskins as it'll spend its life on winter and commuting duty. They were a SOB to get fitted and are noticeably stiffer and more rigid. Hope I never get a puncture!

Not today, but was in Decathlon last Friday and acquired a very nice jersey in the clearance.

Will go spiffingly well with my MTB capris.

Aero drop bars fitted to the second bike, More comfatable than the normal drop bars.

A rear light for the pannier rack, instead of the wibbly wobbly one hanging off the bag

Ordered today from Planet X - £30 gift voucher with free helmet, then used said voucher to buy two Schwalbe X-One Allround tyres and two sets of EBC brake pads to fit Tektro Mira and paid the difference.

Not a bad shop as I’ll get the helmet for half price (the other half being the P&P I’ve paid).

There was a bit of a faff as the price of the helmet wasn’t deducted from the total with the gift voucher so contacted Planet X and they’re refunding the price of the helmet. They were very helpful and relatively quick to respond (as it was lunchtime).

A nice cycling cap from the local Decathon that opened, only £7.99 as well.

I've had the driver for years but no sprockets to use with it.
