What have you bought for the bike today ?

[kynikos]

A set of Abus Nutfix Skewers - hopefully save having to put a cable through the front wheel when parking up.

 

[Spiderweb]

A lovely Giant Bowery 72 fixed/single speed which I bought last week via eBay.

Today a Miche 18t sprocket and a black Charge Spoon saddle for my new fixie and 2 tubes of 1/2 price SIS hydration tablets all from Wiggle.
Also picked up my new Lezyne 1100xl loaded front light from the Post office as I’d missed delivery. This is really bright on full power and will need to be angled down, fantastic light for £55 from Pro Bike Kit.

 

[DCBassman]

Tacx water bottle (and contents for free!) from South Fork Racing in Braunton, Devon, whilst on my ride.

 

[Threevok]

2 dhb neck tubes to add to my collection

now I have one for every day of the week

 

[Tenacious Sloth]

A Bontrager Flare R Rear light to supplement my dynamo rear light.

 

[DCLane]

My 14yo has grown. Too much. So as a surprise his current 48cm Cervelo S3 frameset's being swapped with the 54cm version I collected today:

Offically Dad has invented 'carbon expansion'

Unoffically it means I get to keep my NeilPryde Nazaré . Oh, and I've got a half-built Boardman AirPro left over

 

[PeteXXX]

Technically, yesterday's purchase..
3 spokes, of the correct length, as the one I bought on Monday was the wrong length. Now fitted, and a couple of spares on the shelf ready for next 'spap/ting'

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

I think I'm going to have to invest in a new rear tyre for the CGR
I only noticed on the off-chance this afternoon, when I got home

(Schwalbe Durano '28')

Maybe riding back along the river-bank, & through NewLands Woods a few times recently, haven't helped it, as there's quite a few semi-buried stones/bricks from past colliery associated endeavours down there, & the remnants of a 'Country House'

To all intents, & purposes, I (the route goes) ride through -what was- the main door of the house, with the ruined stable-block to the left
My return is heading towards the camera

You know its going to be on a different bike now don't you?

Of course it will....

(Schwalbe Durano '28')

I tried the local 'Go Outdoors' (old 'Mitchells Camping' at Horbury Bridge) as they had some Duranos in stock, when I was there earlier in the week with the father-in-law (& didn't close till 20:00)
They had '23' & '25' in stock, but no '28'

Halfords had some Luganos, but again '25'

None at Ribble, or Wiggle
Thus Chain Reaction, delivery tomorrow!

 

[pjd57]

Another inner tube.

Thus Chain Reaction, delivery tomorrow!

Ordered about 20:00 last night

Package arrived, about 11:30 today, I'd had to nip out to Pontefract, but it was handed to me on my return
Only problem (my fault entirely) is that they're wire-beaded, I thought I'd ordered Kevlars
Oh well!

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Not exactly for the bike, as such
But.... given his collection/association with Hope, the 'Tour Divide', etc...

I bought this new book, in WH Smiths, whilst in Pontefract earlier

EDIT @ 15:12

I've dipped into it, & the title is explained as the first chapter...………………………….

 

[Gravity Aided]

I got two Tiagra brifters at the bike co-op, as the Trek 600 needs updating. And downtube shifters are a bit of a reach on that big ole frame.
