What have you bought for the bike today ?

[DCLane]

£95 spent on a pair of carbon aero bars, an oversize jockey wheel and two Shimano cable adjusters from Ribble thanks to @Smthers post in the 'Bargain' thread. The bars may go onto the Viner Mitus although the jockey wheel set-up hasn't a home yet since the only Ultegra 8000 rear derailleur we have on a bike is on son no. 2's Ridley and that's just had a lovely KMC DLC black/blue chain.

And a pair of Fulcrum skewers as we have Fulcrum 5 LG's on both my commuter and son no. 2's cross bike.

Oh, and I found a new skewer at the bottom of a wheel box; I thought it hadn't come with one

If you know, you know:

A pair of green skewers for the Viner Mitus black/lime green winter bike build, as I'm short of a pair, plus some black/lime green bar tape.

Plus a lime green dhb Polartec jacket via eBay for a very decent price. That'll do for next winter. Or Yorkshire's "summer".

You realise you now have to post pictures, right?

King Alfred’s Way

I’ll see what I can do 🤔

Yet another pair of ur-SPDs, otherwise known as PD-M737.

I have brought a few pairs of these back from the dead by using PD-A525 axle units, which are identical (A525 road SPDs are unwanted, cheap and almost always in good internal condition).

This latest pair, however, is too good - the bearings are smooth and there is no play at all in them!

chain guard for a Dawes Kingpin?

 

[DCLane]

@Gunk - yep. The difficult to source 'dot-dash-dot' version. Which will hopefully go onto my silver Kingpin.

Headset wrenches.

A Cyclo pedal spanner. A bargain on eBay, £8 when they retail for about £24

 

[Proto]

Built a pair of 650b wheels for my gravel bike today. Bitex hubs, Kinlin TL25R rims and Alpina spokes bought last week.

Novice builder but pleased with the result. Proof will be in the riding!

 

[DCLane]

Picked up a nice carbon wheelset with tyres today. A bit more than I'd have liked to pay but still.

And a second ultra-lightweight carbon wheelset with tyres for hillclimbing. For less than I was expecting to pay.

It's still over £400 spent

 

[cyberknight]

Gifted a 10 year old "female" hardtail spesh .
Headset seized so I'm debating whether to strip it for parts for the giant

New version of the GS1-Evo Ergon grips arrived from Germany this morning (don't seem to be available in the UK yet!)
Just fitted, so much better than Giant standard ones.
