What have you bought for the bike today ?

[Threevok]

Knog+ rear light

Those Wolf Tooth pliers look very useful - but what a ludicrous price.

I don't think I would have bought them if I didn't have the residue of a recent redundancy payment to tap into. A main selling point for me is that I can slide it into my little under-seat toolbag, together with a couple of spare tubes and a multitool (it and the multitool both double as a tyre lever).

 

[Jenkins]

Replacement chainrings (38 inner, 50 outer) and 2 pairs of Koolstop Salmon pads for the main commuter bike.

 

[Domus]

Some winter boots to help keep my poor tootsies warm.
My shoes are 45 so bought 46 size boots. Hopefully a slightly thicker sock and a bit of wriggle room for toes should help. I really do suffer with cold toes.
Got the Shimano ones from Wheelbase.

I recently bought some Lake winter boots. I measured my feet according to the website and ordered accordingly - a very tight fit! I could only get them on with my thinnest socks. Luckily, they seem to be "breaking in" (they have leather uppers) and they are very comfortable now with thin "1000 Mile" double-layer socks. I wish I had gone for a size bigger with a thicker sock. They are lovely boots though and I feel very comfortable and warm in them with the thin sock both on and off the bike.

Just recently purchased a Garmin 820 bundle.

 

[KneesUp]

Two punctures in two days last week, so two new tyres and two new inner tubes today. The old tyres are about 3 years old, and until last week has only punctured once, so definitely time to retire (see what I did there?) them. Also a couple of new tyre levers as mine seem to have evaporated. I got the tyre off to repair the first puncture with one tyre lever and spoon.

A dog trailer. It's currently without wheels on the living room floor and the dog is relaxing in it. We have a few months to get her used to it before we take her out for a ride. I'll be attaching it sans dog to start some hill climbing

I've just ordered a 8sp chain & cassette for the commuter.

Our Westie loves our dog trailer. The Yorkie hates it. We put an old soft dog bed in the bottom of the trailer to give it our dogs’ smell. Worked a treat.

 

[BalkanExpress]

Used, but in good condition, Set of Gipiemme Tecno 416 wheels

Looks like I will need some valve extenders

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Another front light, just a little 'flasher' (to accompany the other two fronts)

Mainly because I'm on (the abhorred & reviled) 12:00 - 20:00 shift for the next two weeks, which mean that I'll be exiting the Hospital grounds, at the same time as the majority of the visitors

I was in the car yesterday, so called at the Halfords (on Ings Road) on my way home

Some SIS tabs and powder, virtually free by using my reward points from Rutland Cycles.

 

[Arjimlad]

Sealskinz Highland gloves for the very cold mornings

I finally got round to ordering the wheel bag I needed and ended up ordering some bike cleaning stuff too.
