What have you bought for the bike today ?

[Sallar55]

Endura bearings from Simplybrearings, my touring bike has a slight bearing wobble if I try to move the cranks from side to side. A few sets of Headshok O rings from Ebay.

 

[DCLane]

A left only Dura-Ace pedal as we had a worn one.

A Wahoo Kickr Smart turbo, ex-demo we think, for son no. 2 to use at university. The halls (of residence) will be loud with the sound of a turbo

A Boardman carbon bottle cage for son no. 2's winter bike.

A couple of Ultegra 8000 cassettes.

 

[Elybazza61]

Some patch adhesive stickers.

To order;
TRP cables for the Spyres on the All-City
Chrome Industries shoes as the Giro Rumbles soles have worn out (6+ years though)
Velo Orange mudguard dynamo light bracket.

 

[Andy in Germany]

8-Speed V-Brake rear wheel with a Deore Hub. I've been putting it iff for ages but I've used the current extremely cheap wheel for nearly two years, and to my astonishment 6000k commuting last year alone, and thus spent next to nothing on travel expenses to and from work, so it's probably time for an upgrade.

 

[DCBassman]

Ordered a set of Schwalbe City Jet gumwalls for the new-to-me Marin Pine Mountain.

 

[arctu]

A new stem to shorten my reach!!

A while back I was cycling over one of the local hills and spotted a couple that I used to work with walking their dog. I stopped for a chat. Hubby noticed the Planet X saddle on my bike. He told me that he had bought one for his bike but after one ride decided that it didn't suit him so he had taken it off. I bumped into him again last month and asked if he still had the saddle. Yes, and he would sell it to me for £15. I cycled up there tonight and picked it up.

I was expecting it to be black and grey like my other Planet X saddles, but I quite like this white and grey one. The bike I have now put it on has a white seat post and white detailing on the blue frame and it looks quite good next to them. It probably won't look so good once I get greasy fingerprints all over it though, which probably won't take me long!

 

[8mph]

Some BB spacers and a pair of black Deore V Brake levers from SJS Cycles, they're listed as Shimano BL-M511 and only cost £11

 

[Paulus]

A new set of SKS mudguards, 42mm wide for the Raleigh Royal touring bike I have done up.

 

[Paulus]

Plus, two 15g tubes of patch glue.

 

[Sittingduck]

Air compressor and attachment/hose kit
Adapter for the tyre inflater attachment > Presta
DHB Grey lace up style road shoes (heavily discounted at Wiggle - worth a punt)
1 pair sale socks
2 LV tubes

 

[Jenkins]

A pair of Giant branded flat pedals for occasional use on the Spa Elan
Some dry lube
and a Cliff bar to take the total over £30 as it was cheaper than paying P&P on the above from Rutland Cycles

 

[Alex321]

Two new inner tubes (slime filled).

Probably getting new tyres tomorrow if Tredz Cardiff have Specialised Armadillo in 700x28

 

[Bollo]

I‘m off to Brittany later this summer so fancied taking the bike for a few days out. I don’t carry the bike around much and if I do it’s usually inside the vehicle, but Bolletta is coming with us so the bike will have to go outside.

I’ve always found full roof bars a faff and have quite a few bits and adapters from previous vehicles, so I’ve taken a punt this time on a Seasucker Talon. It’ll take me a while to feel comfortable having the best bike sucked on to the roof though!
