What have you bought for the bike today ?

[Low Gear Guy]

Bought a few weeks ago but used properly this weekend in France where road signs point only to obscure hamlets.

I'm ordering a new pair of Sidi shoes
My present 'commuter'/'all-rounder' pair are slightly too tight, & with Autumn approaching I want a pair I can get thicker socks in

Probably the Trace, from Wiggle; http://www.wiggle.co.uk/sidi-trace-mtb-shoes/

SPDs, on two of the Ribbles (CGR & a 'blue audax'; the 7005 alloy)

Plus, I really fancy one of the Foska Crash Test Dummy jackets

Or is that tempting fate, & poking it with a big stick???

Shoes ordered, when I got home from work last night
I wonder if they'll be as quick as the replacement for the banana-d chainring that I ordered earlier this month (less than 24 hours, from order to delivery!!)


I also wanted one from this company, as they offered a Mint Sauce (road) jersey not too long ago, but sadly it seems to have been removed
(they even offered long/short sleeve, and, zip-length options!!)

Bought a female-specific Selle Italia Donna saddle for my wife, long tights for both kids for when the weather turns cooler, cycling glasses for both kids, new gloves for my daughter... oh and some gel bar tape for me.

A pack of 10 sealed wheel hub bearings. Both sets of wheels bearings are kaput.

 

[Reynard]

A pair of Shimano MTB shoes. Love the road shoes I bought recently, but clip-clopping in cleats...

Also, a set of cleats for the aforementioned MTB shoes, plus a lightweight pair of hiking trousers for riding in when I don't want to wear lycra. Have been doing utility rides in jeans, but they're so grim when they get all sweaty. Bonus is I can get a pair of cycling shorts *under* the trousers if I plan on riding more than a few miles.

Entry to my first audax, the 200km Thanet Platinum run by Smutchin OTP.

 

[Vantage]

I can't really say I'm getting along with downtube shifters. Too may years using STI's I guess, soooooooooooo...

ordered some Kelly Take-Offs. Jeeeeeeeeeeeezusssssss they're expensive!

 

[Freelanderuk]

2 Pro bike display stands to go in my Asgard bike storage and a Asgard shelf kit to get all my bits off the floor of said storage

 

[JhnBssll]

Red Hope V4s for the Stumpjumper. I've been wanting to upgrade them for some time now but since the bike is getting used more frequently I can finally justify it

 

[Salty seadog]

Spare kmc chains for 3 bikes.

Ordered them, when I got home from work, at about 21:00, on Tuesday evening
Got the 'at drop-off location' today, about 13:00!!!!!

Picked up about 21:00

Edge explore to replace edge 520. Nothing wrong with the 520 at all, other than I like touchscreen, and had a bonus burning a hole in my pocket (520 now up for sale in ads)

£249, Halfords price matched it to £219, used BC discount to knock it down to £197 but also ordered it click and collect through Quidco giving another £6 cashback...every little helps

Pleased with it, but amazed that the updates are taking 2 hours 45 minutes (currently 1 hour 40 into it) !

Just took delivery of 10 inner tube for 1.25 each from Planet X.

 

[si_c]

New TRP Hy/Rd disc caliper for the front of the commuter, so I can move the Spyre to the rear, replacing the Rever MCX that's currently there and is now ineffective due to contamination and seized adjustment bolts.

 

[Freelanderuk]

A set of Giant SLR 1 carbon wheels for the TCR
