Some Shimano G04S metallic pads for my recumbent. Current resin pads had a hard winter and now reached end of life.

New handlebars!! Woot!

Finally I got around to getting them fitted. After cycling for a year on handlebars that were too narrow, it now feels a little weird.
The reach feels different as well. But it *does* feel a lot comfier.

New bar tape for my summer bike. Didn't get to use it last year. With lockdown, rode my winter bike and SS bikes all thru the summer.
 
I just got a parcel:

Largely full of unexciting things like gear and brake cables and replacement V-Brake blocks as the commuter brakes are practically down to the bolts.

However, it also included this:

I've been putting it off the years as the old normal wire clippers became increasingly blunt, so I decided to go for it and get the best I could afford.

Four Vittoria Randonneur Tech tyres from Planet X. A pair for a friend who is in need of some better tyres and some to try on the knockabout bike when the current Marathons are done. Worth a go at £8 apiece.

Also thought I'd see what their bottle cage tool cases and a Podsacs saddle bag were like since they were on offer.

A 50 metre reel of kmc x9 9 speed chain. Gets a bit boring buying multiple chains and joining together for recumbent. So bought 50 metre of chain for £19.50. I guess 9 speed out of fashion, as got this at bargain price.

That's a great price. Where do you buy it by length?

Ten M5 hex bolts + washers for the pannier mounts on my lovely recently aquired Galaxy, as a couple of the 'came with it' bolts looked a bit suspect. :okay:
