What have you bought for the bike today ?

[DCBassman]

Kit to prepare and modify the Merida Big Nine Forty for London-to-Brighton in June. So far, it's just Schwalbe tubes ( 2 replacement, 2 spare), KMC X9 chain, and the second-most-serious mod, some North Road bars. The most-serious mod is a Boost Kit. I'm hoping this and the bars will get me out more often generally, post-L-2-B. The Scott Speedster S50 will be moved on, so just the one bike left.

Boost kit ordered. Unfortunately, they are currently awaiting the new display units, so unless they arrive soon, I'll make do with the app running on an old iPhone 6S that I have spare. More on this project in the Projects section.

Set of SKS mudguards and a new bash hat.

Today I ordered a Tailfin 2.2 litre long top tube bag and a couple more of their packing cubes.

I’m hoping I now have everything I could possibly need for LEJOG starting the last week in May.

First aid kit

Having reread my notes from the last first aid course I attended I added a strip of aspirin to the first aid bag.

Bits and pieces:

- A pair of Alé cargo bib shorts. Thought they might be too small but fit OK.
- A 36T Shimano 8000 chainring as a spare
- Some chainring bolts for non-Dura-Ace chainrings
- A 53 tooth chainring for Dura-Ace 9000 / similar, which I'll need the bolts I also bought
- A right-hand new Dura-Ace 9100 pedal as it was just £13 delivered and I use them anyway

Oh, and I'm picking up this shortly - a 1984 Peugeot with 531 Professionel tubing and I'm hoping it's a PY10LS model:

Today I visited my LBS and bought spare valve stems for my G1800 wheels and some brake caliper bolts. The bolts are strictly M5 x 35 cap head screws to replace Torx of the same size. Now I don’t need to carry a T25.
Whilst there I ordered some spare spokes for the same wheels and a TPU patch kit.

All in preparation for LEJOG in 9 weeks time.

Good luck...slightly jealous here as I would love to say I have done lejog but don't think I could stand the pace
Will you be doing a write up about your prep and then how it's going/went. I for one would be very interested.

I probably will write a bit of a report

Just ordered am Elite Avanti trainer. DC Rainmaker seemed to review it well and I wanted something not too bulky to replace my Suito. Hopefully Elite's support team will sort out my Suito, I think its just locked into a bluetooth mode as their app recognised it was there but couldn't talk to it. If they do fix it I'll probably donate it to the kids in the club.
