What have you bought for the bike today ?

**Also bought what is now a ‘spare’ chain:

To replace the spare I had - which ended up replacing the worn one:

For same loved, abused, ridden, enjoyed machine 😉

A Hutchinson Fusion 5 tyre plus some Shimano jockey wheels, both for spares stock.

After the wear marker disappearing on one side of my spring/ autumn wheels (Hunt aerowide) I bought another set. I had been going to wait until autumn but the talk at the pub was a trip to the Belgian cobbles later in the year so rather than use my good summer wheels if that manifests I'll use them. They were 40% off and until tonight there's another 10% voucher code (SPRING10). The only drawback is Hunt have discontinued the Silver rims and I had to get Black ones.

After this happened, a new hanger, derailleur, chain and cable are on their way. The hanger bolt seems to have sheered off, not sure if that was the cause or whether the hanger snapping caused the sheering of the bolt.

Isn’t it great running 8 and 9 speed bikes?

With chains and cassettes tuppence a piece, it makes a mockery of the whole chain waxing, rotation and repeating rituals that some adhere to.

I was a couple of miles from home and phoned the emergency services (wonderful wife) to come pick me up. If I had to I could have walked it. So not as bad as it could have been. I didn't even crash, just thought I'd dropped a chain.

Purchased a set of three keyed alike 'chain' u-padlocks - 16mm micro D-Locks in reality. I'd lost the padlock of the beefy 10kg chain, and my other chains, the locks are less good. We're off camping with bikes at the end of the week, so I ordered a set for just over £30 - sold secure Diamond. They'll be used to replace the existing 'chain' padlocks in the garage too - keyed alike saves a lot of faff.

Whilst searching for 'spare keys' for some Abus locks, I 'found' the beefy chain's padlock... doh... I didn't find the Abus keys - but I'll check tomorrow at work as I may have the spares there (I used to keep one of the locks as a spare at work to cover me and colleagues forgetting one).

Found the spare ABUS keys. They weren't in my drawer at work.

Unlocked the bike tonight, and the two spares were on my 'work bike key ring' - not spotted it this morning. Doh !!!!
