What have you bought for the bike today ?

[DCLane]

I've picked up a couple of Conti GP5000 ST R tyres - the quick ones - from cheeky offers on a 'buy now' listing.

Also a pair of carbon Zipp TT ski's which I'll do something with.

And a bottle cage plus bottle tool kit as I lost the lid off mine.

New (wider) Durano tyres, new SKS mudguards and a new front fork.
The PX Tempest is getting a bit of love this weekend.

Some 1 1/8 caged bearings for the commuter's headset. I'll replace the lower ones as they are a bit orange.

Bought a second hand set of wheels off facefluff for the commuter to see if it is the back wheel that is the issue , bloke selling them knew what he was talking about and as he was coming close to my area today anyway he offered to drop them off .
£40 so worth a punt as the lbs said as my wheel is a cheap one anyway it probably wouldnt have a hub they would stock so at worst i eliminate the wheels from the hunt for the creak and i have a spare set

Some new Koolstop Dura 2 pads.

Pro One Plus (apparently, the Durano Plus's successor). Why the new fork?

Another purchase for the Dawes Sardar, Velo Orange Happy Stem 90mm / 45°

 

[slow horse]

A pair of Continental Grand Prix tyres. I'm one of those people sticking with 23mm, despite the popularity of those 2 extra mm.

 

[Alex321]

A new left (front gear rear brake) 105 mechanical hydraulic brifter - fitted by my LBS, along with cable & jockey wheel for rear derailleur.

Picking bike up on the way home tonight, total cost £242

 

[All uphill]

A new workshop chain tool after realising I was regularly using my little Park Tools one because my cheap workshop one was worse than useless - it made me feel incompetent.

I went for a Top Peak All Stars one which is reassuringly solid.

 

[sevenfourate]

Pair of (Currently very scarce) 22” S&M Speedball tyres in 2.25” wide, 3 x 22” United BMX inner tubes, Source BMX Truckers cap, CatEye AMPP400 rechargeable front light…….

Just bought spares of both lock-on and Old School flanged / push-on Skyway grips. These are my absolute favourites. And I have these on all 5 of my bikes. These are modern repops of the original 80’s (?) designs - and I’m not sure how long they are going to be available for - so took advantage while I’m feeling flush…..**£15 for lock-on and £10 for push on with Free post from Hopkins Cycles [Who are always absolutely excellent btw 🙏👌😉]

Tyres on the RTD are starting to get a little old - they've been on the rims for more than 2 years now and the sidewalls are starting to crack a little. As they are running tubeless I've not actually had a puncture that I've noted with them which is great and the tread looks to be in good condition but I decided to order some new tyres just in case. Ordered a set of Vittoria Corsa Pro TLRs from the LBS and pick them up tomorrow along with some new sealant.

Also ordered a new bike stand after the clamp fell off the old one. Opted for an on-offer cheapish job from Amazon which had pretty good reviews. I'll give the bike a good clean when I've got the wheels off so it'll come in handy then.
