What have you bought for the bike today ?

Link?

Here you go.

The price has gone up to £9.95 now.

Bought a pair of Lake wide fitting shoes from Sigma sports with various discounts down to £159 from just under £300.
Didn’t really need another pair of shoes but fancied a pair with the double boa’s, my other pair of Lakes just have singles.

I've started to wear thin my commuting socks at the toe, so I ordered a couple of pairs more on a Black Friday deal and as the inventor of Black Friday probably hoped I ordered some summer bike socks (also on a deal) and some more Squirt Lube. In case they came on a office day I got them delivered to a pick up point, typically they actually came on a WfH day and I have just been out to collect them.

I bought a Garmin Varia RTL515 on ebay for just over half the price new. It looks good and seems to be working perfectly. I am just doing a soak test to check the battery life.

What does that involve?

Follow the link - I tell you there! (Not as accurate as using it out on the road, but the weather is grotty here and I am feeling rough so I will leave a proper test until later.)

Not expecting Earth-shattering light. But will mean I get seen hopefully.

Odyssey BMX LED light-set; to stick in the man-bag when out cruising…..

I’ve had a Bell road helmet for a few years.

Picked up a ‘matching’ MTB Helmet with MIPS last week; for an absolute Steal:

Today see’s the Trilogy completed…….

Nukeproof sealed-bearing pedals. With nicely sized replaceable pins. From an MTB company. But these will be ace on a BMX in the future 👌

And a Cult pad set. That I wanted the stem pad from. But doesn’t fit on the modern 1 1/8” stemmed bike I bought it for……..🙄

Ooh my shins

Yes. Best plan would definitely be not to slip…

EXS Aerover bar/stem ordered for my forthcoming build. Not cheap but a lot more reasonable than the Western brands.

I much prefer the half toe clips, much less ouchy since I started using them. The problem I had was that with that kind of pedals I was always catching my legs even just moving my bike around.

Not sure if my BMX riding mates would disown me. Or report me to the authorities if I turned up with any sort of toe-clips on…..😂

I've over the years got my left shin when getting the right hand pedal into position to set off, you think it is out of the way but then 'whack'
