A few bits:
- A pair of new Ultegra 8100 brake calipers for the Ridley Fenix build. The ones that came off the Merida smart turbo bike are a bit
as they were old, battered, filthy and were simply added just in case it was used outdoors.
- A pair of XL Boardman gloves so I can start riding again, discounted at Halfords
- A pair of Kenda Small Block 8 tyres for son no. 1's bike
- A Nitto Dynamic stem for the Vitus - at £10 and unused that's a bargain imho
- A pair of Super Racing Europa handlebars for the Vitus for another £10
- A Dura-Ace 9000 rear derailleur as I used one for the Ridley Fenix

I was ordering a few other things and I have had this in my basket for a while and I took a punt and ordered it. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C89YM8ZF?smid=A133CEVPJQ9EDI&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp&th=1
It seems to have a lot of mounting options:

In my continued attempt to prop up the cycling industry whilst currently unable to ride outdoors I've picked up:
- A pair of half-price Dura-Ace 9100 pedals
- Some titanium silver skewers to replace the green ones I'm using for the Ridley build
- A couple of 50mm Shimano brake bolts as I need one for the Ridley Fenix and used the last one I had on Son no. 2's Fenix build
- A set of Absolute Black chainrings at a silly price
- Some BBB jockey wheels (seller accepted my very cheeky offer)
- Also, a possibly damaged Ultegra 8000 LH shifter but for £30 delivered I'll take the risk
- Finally, after tonight's Zwift session, a new belt for the Tacx T2900 which I hope will stop the annoying squealing sound

6 x CR1632 batteries for di2 shifters. Previous set lasted less than 300 miles. More stuff for the saddlebag.
On Monday I found an FSA powerbox alloy crankset and power meter online for £60 ex-display, confirmed they had it, ordered it with next day delivery, hadn't turned up by lunchtime today so emailed them to find out what was going on, apparently they don't have it anymore. Annoying, but worse I had ordered a new set of chainrings to go with it as they only had 53/39s on it which is way to high a gearing for me. The chainrings arrived this morning. Also ordered batteries and a new bottom bracket for it (BB386evo, which I already have fitted, but figured a new one wouldn't hurt).
This is all to replace the power meter I have fitted which doesn't take a charge anymore. So having got so close and been foiled I've ordered an alternative Powerbox carbon crankset which Windwave (FSA distributors) had for a significant discount. It's 48/32 so nice and low gearing and with sending the chainrings back tomorrow it's only a bit more than I was in for before. I'm deluding myself over sunk costs but despite knowing this I find it easy to talk myself into these things.
