What have you bought for the bike today ?

@Dirtyhanz2 - what happens if the 'puppy' grows too big?

I do like this and, as we've the legacy of Son no. 1 leaving his cats with us, can see a use for one. Kitty in a bike rack basket?

It a small dog
going on the wife’s bike she has got an MIK rack for it on her bike
To buy it new with the bits it comes with would have been £160 we paid just over £60 it says it’s had very light use if it doesn’t work out I will just put it back on eBay

It a small dog

That's what the RSPCA told us about Son no. 1's first adopted cat; that it was fully-grown and small, just without a tail.

They lied.

It's no longer "small".

I'm still not 100% convinced (buyer regret maybe :-/ ) but amazon had the 130 plus for £99 and I have ordered it. I used to use my 130 all the time for TTs/Commuting/Gravel riding and keep my 1030 for leisure road riding until the 130's battery got a bit iffy and started using the 1030 for all of them. Annoyingly the 1030s sound is erratic but with the large screen whilst it's a bit annoying in training, it's not too problematic, so do I really need a new computer :-/

I have no idea what this means.

Buyers regret?

No. 130 plus?

No. 130 plus?

Me neither. Sounds like an Autobahn driving game to me……

No. 130 plus?

It's a Garmin edge Cycling GPS model

The 1030 is the much larger version with coloured mapping and touchscreen.

There are newer versions (such as the
1030 plus model and 1040) but other than it being a bit big sometimes and the sound on mine being intermittent; I maybe should have waited and only got a newer version when mine failed completely.

Tiny open-ended 10mm spanner - if required, makes it easier to correctly align axle of Orbea Gain rear wheel when replacing rear wheel in dropouts

New continental GP5000 tubeless tyre after my 6 ride old Hutchinson Fusion got a huge chunk of glass embedded it to it at the weekend. Used a Dynoplug to get me home then patched the inside at home like I’ve done before with success. An hour into this mornings for a training ride and it let go again It sealed but at a very low pressure so limped home. Decided it was beyond repair and binned it. Went to the LBS and they had some of the first gen GP5000 TL they were getting rid off so only paid £45, every cloud and all that

700cx28 Marathon+ tyre for front wheel, plus two inner tubes with 60mm valves.

Scored a spare RD hanger for the Genesis after a chance spotting of an ad on FB muppetplace for an unused item. Saved a few quid and avoided the hassle of having to contact Genesis directly and enquire.

Very pleased with this one as it appears the only potential weak point of the system in terms of longevity; should it become damaged in future and this propriatory part no longer be available...

I picked my self up one of the Cleva Vacmaster fans. I am desperate to try it out but although I think I have got to the bottom of it I have tweaked my knee and I must resist 😂 It's supposed to be strong (over33mph) and quiet and a quick non cycling test suggests it is 👍

I also picked up a silicone cover for my laptop, chamois cream and biodegradable wipes to clean the bike.
