Has my spending finally stopped?

[SpokeyDokey]

Whilst we are a long way from being hard up I have gotten well and truly fed up with the constant trickle of money shelled out for 'the last thing I need'.

Apart from my initial purchase of bike, shoes, SPD's, saddlebag, multi tool, cages, bottles, gilet, CO2 pump & helmet I have sinced bought:

Different (SH56) cleats,

Waterproof jacket,

Nice and comfy padded shorts,

Track pump,

Workstand (pricey but worth it),

Lubes various,

Cycling specific glasses,

Little rubber cable protectors (rip off price),

Heli-pads,

Lizard Skin chainstay protector,

Various brake blocks and shoes to solve brake squeal (sorted and blissfully silent),

New saddle,

New seat post,

Gel mitts,

2 cycling tops,

And today a pair of Altura tights - I have lost some weight and my old Ronhills that I have been wearing are a tad loose now!

Is that the end of it?

Nope

Tyres, tubes, patches, chains, brake pads, cassettes... it is never ending

 

[SpokeyDokey]

Nope

What have I missed? Paranoid now that I may not be fully equipped!

You should be upgrading components by now as well.

Wheels should have been done at least........

No. Never stops. Not as bad as a car though.

[Ladytrucker]

If the bike is being used in part for commuting then as long as spending on bike bits does not exceed money saved on petrol everything is fine as it is self financing now can someone explain this concept to my wife

A lock, computer, lights, maps, gps, panniers, tent, stove, kettle.

It never stops, you just learn new methods of justification.
