Some new mudguards for my commuter. Existing ones were getting old and rattly. .

Does a soldering iron qualify? At Lidl seemed to be too good to leave behind.

4 packs of SPD cleats arrived from China this morning - the original AliExpress listing had them in Shimano look alike packaging, but unbranded while these arrived in Shimano branded packaging and stamped as Shimano. At the price paid there's no way these are genuine and I didn't expect them to be.

Oh and a water bottle that fits the handlebar bag. Bit of a Thermos thing, will keep coffee warm for a while.
Another quirk of the Cowboy bike is the lack of any cage fixings. No, I didn't think to look when I was buying it.

A bike. It'd been lingering on Facebook for quite a while, dropping in price, and I'd left it after the latest price drop. But I was going to be passing today so got in touch and it hadn't sold at a silly low price, despite the seller's best attempts.
A hardly-used Raleigh U6X cross bike in size Small is currently in the bike store. Tiagra 9-speed equipped it's pretty light. It'd benefit from a new chain and rear brake cable as both show a bit of corrosion, but otherwise it's in perfect condition. The seller had a lovely old MG Magnette as well.
Oh, and a Mavic wheel bag as I appear to have lost one somewhere

10 & 11 speed chain quick links as I only seem to have one of each in stock.
For the 11 sped ones, Rutland Cycling seem to have the exact same item at either £1.99 or £3.75 so I opted for 4 of the cheaper ones obviously and then at checkout there was no P&P charged!
Amazon had the KMC 10 speed ones in at £2.99 for two pairs. For that price I don't mind that they're the blingy gold ones.

Hmmmmm. More inner tubes. This time for the MTB. I do have rubber ‘issues’ for sure…and I’m not pretending otherwise 🤦♂️
I’d already ‘standardised’ my drop bar commuter; and the wife’s hybrid; 700c wheel equipped bikes here - with Kenda tubes. And settled on a decent model Schwalbe for the 700c Gravel ride.
I chose decent branded / known items - so I could firstly buy / have spares immediately and secondly: be able to replicate in the future and have valves looking exactly the same visually 🙄
Long shot is I’ve just bought 5 of these for the new MTB. Two to be fitted right away. One to lob in the Camelbak and take out on rides as a spare. And two as a spare spares; and to go in the ‘Inner Tube Warehouse’.
Which might need upgrading to bigger premises soon 🤣🤣

Just be aware that this may just have been a glitch as I paid via Paypal without signing in to my account at Rutland. Check to see what the final amount is when you get to the payment page.
