........ Part of the retention system on my old Bell lid has snapped with age (brittle plastic) so it's time for a new one. Spent a 'massive' £15.........

Oddly enough my Bell had to go in the bin a few months back for exactly the same reason. Wasn't really old enough to need replacing, and I was annoyed that new internal webbing wasn't available for the model that I owned. Crappy plastic used by Bell maybe?

A pair of Michelin Pro4 Endurance tyres as Continental have discontinued the GP4000. Plus a water bottle to take the basket over £50 to get the £10 'new customer' discount (or at least a new email address used to register).

I bought a pair of Sidi Wire 2 Carbon shoes and a pair of Speedplay Zero Titanium pedals for my road bike. The pedals have arrived, but the shoes are still enroute and I'm not fitting the cleats to my old shoes so have to wait a little longer...

I also bought some Topeak mudguards for my Fixie bike that I keep in Amsterdam - unlike here, I can't avoid wet weather there!

Yesterday The Fragrant MrsP bought me for my bike a full Ultegra R8000 group set for my Trek Madone. Which was nice of her.

Quality 'sockets'. Saw a bargain deal on Amazon for a set of metric sockets from 8mm upto 24mm down from £40 to £13 (Sealey) so I've snapped them up. Will be handy for fork servicing (big top cap nut) as well as stuff on the car.

I had bought a 100 piece screwdriver and socket set from Aldi last week for bike stuff, but my missus said 'oh is that for your brother's birthday' - so that got re-purposed (he was grateful as he has hardly any tools - the last set was when I bought him some when he moved into his house) - so these sockets will be more 'useful' to me. I've got fairly standard sockets, and nothing of this 'quality'.

A Panaracer Fire XC Pro TLC Folding MTB Tyre (Blue)
