What have you bought for the bike today ?

[FishFright]

I pair of Billy Bonkers for one of my BMX's . Second hand but barely worn.

 

[Jotheboat]

Chilli Bullet Camera.
Seems to be working, it's -3 outside!

 

[Bollo]

An Epic bleed kit. The brakes on my good bike are starting to feel a little soft.

 

[fossyant]

Lifeline Pro toolbox with drawers on offer at Wiggle. My current Stanley box is a bit battered and I need a better way of organising the tools rather than thrown in a big toolbox. Also a pack of cable end caps, and 4 packs of 4 v-brake pad inserts - seem to be chewing through pads on my commuter.

Oh and some cheap replacement helmet pads. Tried to wash some, and they came apart !

 

[Elybazza61]

Yesterday got a Park Tool chain checker and spare pins for the chain tool

Earlier this week took advantage of a Wizard Works sale to get some bags for the Fairlight.

Another one of these picked up cheap on ebay - this time to go on the folder

A Carradice rack bag for the Ribble ebike

Inside which a D-lock sits snugly allowing for a 4 pint bottle of milk or a set of waterproofs plus a few other bits before opening the zip expander on top

And if a little more space is needed, the side 'pockets' open up to become mini panniers

Basic bike light as I cannot find mine and I'm away from home....

Lifeline tool box is very good for the £32 or so it cost. Liking the three drawers as it means tools can be organised better, and they aren't all piled on-top of each other. It also takes more than my large stanley toolbox. That will be re-purposed for 'other stuff'.

 

[DCLane]

A couple of Pirelli Cinturato Velo road tyres for the Viner Mitus for when the current ones are done which, given the condition of the roads in Kirklees will be in about a month. They were new on auction at £15 each and no-one else bid

 

[razabbs]

Got out for a ride this morning just around lunch time (2nd date with another cyclist) we did a 20 mile loop or so, but at one point I hit some black ice and hit the ground kinda hard! Chocolate cake and hot chocolate helped; a bit of a rip in my bib tights which sucks. Decathlon don't do this model anymore and they're brilliant.
She is still very keen on me

 

[fossyant]

New 'old skool' Shimano M570 44T 5 arm chain ring. Existing one is starting to get worn after 12-18 month of commuting. I have a 'spare' used XT ring, but this one matches in colour with the 'spider' and is un-used. £37 not super cheap.

 

[HLaB]

My commuter forks with full guards can only take 23mm tyres and the temporary cheap wired tyre it had split after about year or more of use or more (so not that temporary in the end). As a quick fit I've put on another wired tyre, it's a bit worn though so I've ordered a couple of Mitchelin Lithion 2's from Decathlon. Typically I suspect the fitted quick fit will last for months now I have got back up :-/

Someone once told me (after I was using my back up inner tube) to never change a tube that has air in. I thought this was a fair comment; maybe it could be the same for a tyre?

Arriving today is a new 27x1 1/4 rear wheel for my old 1975 Galaxy.
The wheel on it has a split on the rim. I also have a new 5 speed block in the shed waiting for it.
The new polished alloy wheel is from Bankrupt bike parts near Birmingham.
