What have you bought for the bike today ?

[ColinJ]

Go rowing, that would sort the upper body ot, but you need an open stretch of water for that.

Or a Concept 2?

Two TPU inner tubes and a longer handlebar stem.

Having gone more than a year without a puncture I got two in my last three rides so thought I'd try TPU instead of Butyl - just for a change. Before my last ride I moved my saddle forward quite a bit but felt cramped up on the ride so a longer stem will be fitted tomorrow to see if that helps.

A pair of these. And a pair for spares - as they’re now used on 2 (Or 3 ?) of my bikes.

Doesn’t seem long ago they were £15 a pair.

Now £23 each inc delivery 🙄

Pair second hand, chrome rimmed 27” wheels for a 50’s Dawes frame I am re-building. Hopefully they will a, fit, and b, work.

Ultegra brake pads came today .....simple job to swap right ?
The small retaining screw was a barsterward to get out....ended up with mole grips after rounding the head on two of them.
Yes I did put some grease on the new screws....

A Charge Ladle saddle, bought from someone on here. The saddle that came with the Hotrock offends my bottom.

My clothes order from Spada arrived, and for a change nearly all of it fit!

The jacket is really light, will be a good off bike jacket too as it folds down really small. Just need to figure out how the hood folds away.

The helmet could do with 1/2 cm more room, but I'm sure once the padding had compressed a little it'll be fine.

Shorts and undershirt great, again useful off the bike too.

One pair of shorts is way too small, despite being (allegedly) the same size as the ones that fit!

All in, a bargain for around £80 once I send back the bad shorts.

They still have stuff left, but not much: https://spadaclothing.com/collections/mtb

Some craft cadence TPU tubes, a variety of sizes and lengths - they also have removable cores, not always a good thing.
They currently have an offer of buy 3 get 1 free, so works out at about £13 each.
I now have 4 makes of TPU tube, Pirelli, Craft Cadence, RideNow, and Schwalbe Aerothan - only the RideNows I have yet to fit to anything, the other 3 will all be in use in a variety of bikes, and or carried for spares.

Craft Cadence TPUs

Or a Concept 2?

Not quite the same thing tho', ok for gym bunnies, but can't beat being out on open water in a proper skiff, it's the reason I go cycling, over riding a static bike, much better being in the elements.

No doubt true, but I can't see (nearly) 70 year old me rowing up and down the Rochdale canal!

I cycle along the Exe Estuary Trail several times a year. The young people I see rowing up and down the river seem to be having a lot of fun. Even at my age, I would be tempted to have a go if I actually lived there.

Well, they fit, and (bar a hub service) they work. Hurrah!
Just a cola/tinfoil job to get the rust off, clean, dish to bring the freewheel clear of the chain stay, true and adjust the axle on the rear wheel to give more space for the wheel nut to do its thing.
No problem :-)
