Right ... this is going to be a big list. Haven't posted what I've bought since mid-August and it's over a month later. I've picked up parts for a re-build, we've put together both a Ridley Fenix and a Ridley Helium plus there's clothing/shoes/etc. ... (re-ordered to make sense of the big list)
Components:
- A Dura-Ace 9000 LH and a pair of Ultegra 8000 shifters
- A Dura-Ace 7900 crankset to go on the audax bike. Good ... as all of my bikes are currently subject to the Shimano recall. It'll all be done in the next few weeks with a full D-A upgrade. Albeit a 10-speed one.
- A Dura-Ace 10 speed front & rear derailleur set as they were cheap
- A Shimano R8000 50/34 crankset for above project. Oh, but that's subject to the Shimano recall as well!
- A Dura-Ace 9000 crank as I
might have had an incident with a bus, a railing and a wall
- A Dura-Ace 9000 front brake caliper as a spare
- Some black and green bar tape for the Viner Mitus, some red/white Widget Premium tape for son no. 2's track bike since that was
and two lots of red / blue tape for spare from the
Ribble sale in the Bargains thread.
- A Rotor ceramic bottom bracket for son no. 2's hillclimb Ridley Helium as it was being a pain. It still is, but is
almost OK.
- A pair of lightweight 40cm carbon bars for son no. 2's Ridley Helium when we swap back from hillclimb duty. It'll mean we only have to do cables and fit a front derailleur.
- A front derailleur catcher for the Ridley Helium when in 'hillclimb' single-chainring mode
- A KMC X11-EL chain as I used one
- Some Absolute Black 50/34 chainrings to go on a Dura-Ace 9000 set-up for hill-climbing
- A Miche track chainring.
- A Shimano Dura-Ace 9100 cassette as it was cheap since there was no lockring. I have a spare.
- A used Dura-Ace 9000 11-28 cassette
- A 34T chainring for son no. 2's hillclimb bike plus some spacers and chainring bolts.
- A Rotor 11-32 cassette for the above.
- A Fizik Cyrano seatpost for a bike build I've kept quiet
- Some SPD pedals from
@Pat "5mph" on here
- A green and black Syncros XR2.5 saddle for the Viner Mitus. Used it today and I like!
- An orange single-speed chain for son no. 2's Carlton Corsa fixie. Now fitted and it's in Nottingham.
- A Bontrager Paradigm saddle for son no. 2's winter bike as he
somehow snapped his
Wheels/tyres:
- A pair of Mavic Ksyrium SLS wheels with tyres and a cassette as they were cheap.
- A GP5000 STR tyre so I can give it a try
- A Tempo track tubular tyre - as posted in the Bargains thread from Ribble's sale
- Some tub tape as I've run out
- A Pantour 406 suspension wheel with tyre to play with on the Dawes Kingpin.
Odd bits/tools:
- A BB30 bearing removal/fitting tool
- A cable-pulling-thing tool
- Some paint for the Cervelo S3
Clothing/shoes:
- A pair of Ale base layers as they were cheap on
eBay. They're nice.
- A pair of winter SPD boots as the dials on mine aren't working. I'll fix those but these were nice, comfy snow boots and £38 delivered. Also, a pair of winter SPD-SL road shoes as mine have a split in after about 10 years' use.
- A pair of ICENI overshoes for a fiver
- A pair of
Proviz shorts are they were on sale. For commuting use.
- A pair of Proviz socks to make up free postage from the above ...
- Some Velotoze shoe covers for me. I
did buy two pairs, one for myself and one for son no. 2 but he pinched both of them. These were new and half-price.
- Some Sidi insoles for son no. 2 since his were
Cream/lubricant:
- Two tubs of Veloskin chamois cream, some BeElite chamois cream as it was on offer at
Wiggle plus one of Udderly Smooth in a tube for travels.
- A 'free' Revolubes 50ml lube for the audax travel kit.
Not
quite second mortgage territory as most of the items above were via eBay / sales / offers, but I've definitely spent quite a bit. I'm listing a pile of unwanted items shortly on eBay to help cover the cost and son no. 2's Boardman AirPro frameset's already been sold.
