What have you bought for the bike today ?

[randynewmanscat]

Absolutely nothing. I would like a square taper bottom bracket though.

Bought a while ago but delivered today, new prescription cycling glasses from Extreme Eyewear - Oakley Flak 2.0 XL with Transitions Xtractive lenses & anti-reflective coating. Used some Christmas & birthday cash to slightly soften the blow to the wallet.

Exceedingly flash eyeware you now own. I would be beaming at people if I rode by with such.

Are you asking what a bike tune up consists of?

I’ve never heard of a bike tune up, I presume oil the chain check the cables and indexing and pump up the tyres?

I imagine it is the six week check you get with a new bike. Having said that, if it was free they haven't bought it.

No the derailleur was adjusted and the rear wheel reseated. I don't have proper tools, rack, or experience in making such adjustments.

I was supposed to be charged but wasn't. But I did expend time in getting the bike looked at by a professional. So I would say it counts.

Not for the bike but as I enjoyed TDF book I bought his other for £4 and t’uther book. Might see a few of the Cyclist recommended rides this year too

Not for me, but for my son, a rear 50mm carbon wheel - it almost matches the front and both are new Novatec's. The very helpful seller agreed I could organise a courier for a collection only item and it arrived today. Came with a bonus wheel bag as well.

For use on his race bike for training until his new disc-brake race bike arrives, then they'll go onto his training bike.

I've had my eye on a SRAM Rival 46/36 chainset at PBK for a while and, for the first time that I can remember, I actually checked my emails while a 12% off offer for 2 hours was still valid. Plus those nice people at Paypal Credit let me have it on 0% interest if paid off within 4 months.

A bottle of smoove chain lube, bought on a recommendation, it would be nice to get out on the bike and try it out, but the weather is against me at moment

Trek Domane Al 3 Disc.........

Wheelbase had the Emonda AL5 (I think) in over Christmas. Really nice looking bike and couldn’t tell if it was Al or Carbon.
Some Domane AL in a bit back and super nice looking bikes. Will look good rested against the decking this summer after a ride out with the bbq going
