What have you bought for the bike today ?

[Llama]

I like Ergon Grips, I keep meaning to get Mrs TB some like that as well as replacing my completely worn out GP2s.

Where did you get them?

@Tom B
Hi, I got them from R2-bike, first time i've placed an order with them, the service was excellent. Took a week but with a bank holiday in the middle. DHL for Germany, then passed to Parcel Force in UK and delivered on a Saturday (think it was 7.5EUR delivery) . No import duty required. German haribo's included!

Here is a link for the new grips from Ergon for 2023 - https://www.ergonbike.com/en/article-neuheiten-2023
It seems none of them are available in the UK yet...

Buying a 'new to me' bike gets more expensive. Some new shimano XC3 shoes at a decent price and new cleats. My MW89's are getting hammered, but still good and used for the commute and non wet MTB rides.

Some spokes for a new wheel I’m building, having now measured the rim. It’ll be a rear tubeless to match the recent front tubeless I built. The old wheels will become my winter set.

Bought on Monday but delivered today were a couple of out front type mounts for the Garmin and a pair of the DHB Regulate arm warmers from Chain Reaction. Based on having long but spindly arms I went for small on the warmers, but probably should have gone for medium.

Well took delivery of a ThinStem this morning. Eventually convinced the management that it had been a bargain. Also that it would make more space in the garage.
Then, just installed after being plied with little jobs that suddenly needed doing.

You will understand that this is my perspective on a situation involving me and an adult who is part of my long term world.

Where do you buy your spokes have you found somewhere not eyewateringly expensive?

Nowhere special, just the usual £1 per spoke and nipple. Bringing the total cost of spokes to about the same as the hub.

Cripes! No wonder people steal wheels.

Who would have thought I would be reduced to reading about the best place to buy spokes.

Rain should be over by 1400. He said optimistically, but lacking sincerity or conviction.
