What have you bought for the bike today ?

[GnarlyCrank]

TOSEEK carbon seatpost and Weldtite TF2 carbon grip paste.

 

[MontyVeda]

A new back wheel.
I don't need a new one but it doesn't match the front in colour or profile which has been niggling my OCD for ten years. 🤔
And I won't even notice when I'm riding it

edit... oh, and an 11 tooth freewheel sprocket to replace the 12 tooth the cassette came with. I don't know why but that one tooth seems to make a small yet significant difference.

This is in addition to the following purchased from the L-E-L site

Are you combining the ride with a crime spree? 🙂

This week;

Set of chainrings for the Fairlight
Wizard Works small saddle bags for the Helium and All-Road.

 

[All uphill]

Brake and gear cables, brake blocks, chain and 8 speed cassette for a friend's Dawes.

Refreshingly she is happy to spend £70 on parts to extend the life of her well-used bike for a few more years. As she says it's much cheaper than using a car, more fun and healthier.

Over the past three weeks I've picked up a few items:

- A pair of Swissstop carbon brake pads as I've run out of spares.
- A Dura-Ace 9000 rear derailleur for the spares box
- A Dura-Ace 9000 cassette for the spares box
- A Dura-Ace 9000 52/36 crankset to sit on top of the spares box
- Some more Kranx Stretta Primo tape for the Ridley Fenix when it needs some, as it was discounted
- A Cateye Ampp 900 front light
- A new rear track wheel (£1.75 well spent)
- A Centrelock disc rotor for the QR disc wheel I picked up as a spare for the Merida Cyclo-Cross
- A Shimano Sora R3000 triple front derailleur and an old pair of Shimano R440 triple / 9 speed shifters to see which is causing the front shifting problem on the Giant FCR. My guess is it's both the LH shifter and the front derailleur not talking to each other properly.
- A wheel for a bike that's arriving to me for repair (odd size)
- 10 Specialized Turbo Presta tubes (5 x 60mm / 5 x 80mm)
- 3 sets of Shimano yellow cleats
- A replacement derailleur hanger for the Ridley Fenix, and ...

A bike. Looks like this and was a fiver. It's a bit rusty. Unfortunately the seatpost appears to be seized :

 

[PedallingNowhereSlowly]

Some new grips for the MTB.

Having just received a savings interest payout, I've had a little spending spree for me & the bike and ordered a couple of 11 speed chains, a pair of tyres for the 'good' bike, a Halo headband to replace one I lost, a pair of Ronhill Tracksters and some Gorewear running tights to try out on the bike.

Edit - there's a few other bits I'd like to have got from Banana Industries, but a £6 delivery charge for a £10 order put me off.
