What have you bought for the bike today ?

[carlosfandangus]

I have a Lzyne track pump bought from CRC 5/6 years ago, cost about £40 and it is fully rebuild able, I have had to replace the dial once, it cost about £12 from Merlin, IRC, pumps up to 220 psi

Bought for the bike this week, a bike rack and very nice and light it is too.Sturdy also ,well pleased.More pleased we spent £15 on having it put together and shown how to put it to the car.I will say though there were four very important parts missing when we opened the box in our living room.Bad marks for Halfords not checking before selling.

A proper original Giant aero bottle (plus holder and damn screws as they are specific to the holder).
A new mini pump that does not stick out of the frame or mount to the side of a bottle cage but, offers decent pump action.

Not today, but a nice new set of hand built wheels from big Al at wheelcraft.

Is that the Halfords own brand one? I was looking at their 1600 lumen model.

yes the 1600 one gets a good review bike radar mag be warned the garmin mount was not included at least on mine although its shown in the website pics its an extra what i like is you can set the smaller button as an on/off for your default setting rather than scrolling through modes

I had the one with the remote switch for scrolling but it never lasted that long. Great light when it was working, but should have lasted more than a single winter at that price for me.

Thanks for the link cyber but not at all impressed by that 1600 model. Seems to say you get just an hour of that before it drops to 15. I'll be sticking to my bm german light which cost a lot less.

Thanks for this. Interesting read. I wonder if I could find a mount for the light and my Wahoo.

Yes, that stood out to me too. I know Polaris do one at 1600 lumens which at normal price is £120, but is often on offer for £50. I wonder how that compares.

They’ll be back. Might get one for next Autumn and Winter.

Since we have strayed onto lights, I'd recommend this for onroad riding.

Got mine for £20.

Or you could do worse than popping into lidl on the 8th.
