What have you bought for the bike today ?

[NotAsGoodAsMyBike]

Ordered some 700c 26mm Rene Herse Cayuse Pass tyres from Sven Cycles.

Thought I’d try the supple casing type tyres that Bicycle Quarterly magazine raves on about. Given the cost, I hope to fit them to my best bike (currently has 23mm Conti 4000 GP), if they don’t fit I’ll put them on my fixed (currently has 25mm Conti 4 seasons)

I bought a bottom bracket and the last remaining seven speed chain at the local bike shop.

I bought a bbb bell to wrap around a ritchey superlogic curve handlebar that sits in a superlogic stem thats attached to a caad 12. I ride mainly cycle paths...

Pedals from a sound dude on ebay..

.. and a cycling cap from Prendas Cyclismo - my first foray into the field and while great at stopping my slaphead from burning it' also quite warm so will probably have to be relegated to spring / autumn use. That aside I love the colour (it matches my base layer), the retro commie eastern-bloc theme and can't argue for a fiver posted

 

[bluezelos]

Rear tyre and innertube.

 

[Gunk]

Sun tour VX rear mech and single shifter. Plus a full set of new inner and outer cables.

[ukbabz]

A new chain for the turbo trainer bike (oops snapped my last one)

A Garmin 530 to replace my ageing (and cracked) 810

 

[Shearwater Missile]

VoltX tinted bifocals. They are brilliant on the bike. I can now read the cateye computer, result ! Somebody had recommended these on another post somewhere. I bought a second clear pair for Mrs S. May buy a third yellow pair for the winter months.

A rather nice vintage chromed steel pannier rack.

 

[Mrs M]

Some bling for Selena (MTB)
Nuke proof Horizon grips and matching Sam Hill pedals.
Grips are on, pedals will be fitted tomorrow after bike clean, filthy after today’s commute

I've got the same one, paid £50 with the original box off Gumtree last year. It was a great buy the whole family use it.

Well I hope it is good. I've still got to get my head round all the tech bits. Some words I just don't understand 😠
