What have you bought for the bike today ?

Managed to get a tiagra crabkset for the Boardman too. Feels like this will be a new build now rather than a replacement frame.

These little trinkets arrived today via ebay. Fantastic condition, front never used and rear can't have been used much as the grease was pretty clean. Undid the cones and squirted in a load of marine grease.

All the rest of the 'wheels' have been ordered.

Multi tool with chain splitter, spoke keys and mini tyre levers to replace individual tools, and two pairs of eyebrow tweezers



- to remove thorns - one pair for each saddlepack.

Just bought these, operation coal shed to 'organised' bike storage is finally happening.
Only need 2, trying to convince the girlfriend to let me hang one in the living room

I've been looking for a rear wheel to compliment a Raleigh Calevera carbon front but they're difficult to find. So picked up a Sublime (Bristol LBS's own brand) rear which'll do for now.

The rear wheel arrived yesterday. Unfortunately it needs new bearings, which wasn't in the seller's description, and they don't accept returns. Caveat emptor I guess ...

Negative feedback is your friend!

Oh heck. SJS are sending wheel parts by 24h delivery, which means they will arrive when my wife is in, and I'm in Wales. Busted.

Are there any 'Overspending on cycle parts' safe houses near you where you can hide out for a while? 😁

I'll be at the caravan 70 miles away. Wheel building is like meditation I'll say.

Its cheaper than a new bike

 

[DCLane]

@fossyant ... and?

SWMBO doesn't seem to care what I order. It's just boxes that arrive.

Having bought a LH Miche Pistard Air crank on eBay from Wiggle/Chain Reaction's online auctions I picked up a RH side one with chainring today.

They're expensive things, but combined it was just over £70. I'll put the two bits together and will probably sell them as a pair. Still looking for a 165mm LH one though ...

... basically I only need the middle bit, but it's specific to that crankset and the parts are like gold dust.

A couple of Panaracer Gravelking slicks for stock arrived the other day. A DCR rim is on its way, again for stock.

What do you think of the Gravelkings ? Saw them for 20 quid a tyre and was tempted for the 28s
