What have you bought for the bike today ?

[NorthernDave]

Sadly my trust Electron Pod "be seen" front light died during yesterdays ride and all attempts to charge some life back into it have failed.

So today I bought a Moon Meteor-X Auto Pro from Halfords, reduced from nearly £40 to £21.99, then £19.79 with the BC discount*.
What a light for under £20!

Bits:

- A Wheel Wellie wheel cover as one of my son's has got torn
- A pair of Ritchey V5 Pro SPD pedals (eBay)
- A track chain for his track bike
- A Fizik Nisene saddle for me (eBay)

If your LBS charged the same prices as CRC, Ribble or Halfords they would be out of business in a month. Buying goods in much smaller quantities mean they often have to pay more for them than the big players are retailing them for.

I bought a new helmet from my LBS Nocked a tenner off because didn’t have the box.

A pair of Campagnolo track nuts. A bargain at only £14 each

Not really bought but my SO gave me a bike bell for Valentines (old one got broken and haven't replaced it)

Edit: If anyone's curious, the bike bell is a Spurcycle bell. I have been using it and it's really good for its price point. A bit expensive but wow, the sound quality can even be heard by those listening with earphones.

General degrease, tidy up .
Way too technical for me .
I just nodded and agreed when our excellent mechanic at the White House ( Maryhill) told me what bits he replaced.

A slightly used Sellle Italia Flite Titanium saddle from the bike co-op. A generous fellow dropped off 3 tubs of the finest bits and bobs imaginable.

Not strictly for the bike, but for use on all the bikes - a basic torque wrench set (£28 from CRC/Wiggle)

I like that wrench, the markings are easy to see in the dim light of the garage! Just remember to reset it to zero for storage.

Bought a bag of old Cateye sensors, parts, and speedometers, as well as a heart rate monitor watch, from the co-op. Time to see what works, and what doesn't. Also considering expanding my skills into welding and brazing. May take a course at the community college, if affordable.
