One issue with Kyptonite locks is the frame mount which I find does not last long if of the fabric strap type. Have mine now held on with a hose cllp with plenty of insulation tape wrapped around the appropriate part of the frame. Also keep it lubed. I have had the odd occasion when it would not easily undo leading to people thinking I was trying to steal my own bike.
What have you bought for the bike today ?

The frame mount has already been binned as I never use them. I only ever carry a lock in a backpack/pannier and this is the perfect size whereas the Onguard was too big even for the panniers.

After cleverly breaking my cheapy PlanetX Phaart Trump track pump head a few weeks ago, last night I splashed out on a Topeak Joe Blow Sport III for £31.99 from Amazon that should arrive tomorrow.

Few squids cheaper than anywhere else I saw that I trust, plus providing it arrives tomorrow, quicker delivered than anywhere else without paying extra as we have Prime already.
Would have preferred to have given my money to a proper bike shop, but the urgency came about because I've discovered the Zefel mini pump that easily tops up my 45mm Caracal Race to ~43PSI, is struggling to inflate my 32mm GP5000 above 52PSI and I need ~60 to try it on the front of my ebike!
Edit: Delivered by DPD before 0830!😱😱😱

Following on from un-doing and regreasing a stuck lock bolt on my SPD XT pedals on the commuter (the bit that holds the axel in place) I've picked up another set for £19.20 in VGC that will go on the CX bike to replace the 520's. Those will go in the spares box.
Ali Express sent me an e mail this morning,it seems as i can make out.Things i watch are tagged on their records.Today a cycling cap which i have watched a few times was offered at the price of £1-05 so i bought it.A nice cap all blue with a white bicycle on it.

Something I un-bought for my mountain bike... a bottle cage!
(A friend asked if I had a spare cage for him to fit to his wife's bike. I don't ride the mountain bike much these days** so I donated one of its two. If I ever do another MTB ride needing more than one bottle, I can use my Camelbak.)
** Note to self - start doing more offroad rides!

Not bought yet but going to have a nose around for either XT or XTR v-brakes for the BH's Kona, will probably be the former as XTR stuff seems to go for a fair bit.
