What have you bought for the bike today ?

[gavroche]

New soft grips for my Boardman Comp hybrid as the ones fitted cut my hands after a while.

I had this on mine. Contacted Lezynne who asked me to send the light back. Returned with a new cable and all has been good since.

Thanks. I'll give that a shot. I have three of these lights so might be worth sending them back. I've tried a new cable too.

I have loads of random USB cables and they all felt a bit slack. The one that Lezynne replaced was very tight. Well worth it if you have three

 

[the stupid one]

Schwalbe Land Cruiser tyres, plus inner tubes and rim tape - refurbishing the old Ridgeback to see what happens.

Bottom bracket lock-ring tool and crank puller should I feel the need to play with that bit.

About to nip out to the LBC for some grease before I have a crack at the pedals.

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Supernova fork bridge bracket and Supernova QR, plus a thing that replaces the nut on the end of the front wheel answer to mount a second lamp low down.

 

[fatjel]

3 chains and a 26 x 1.75 marathon +

It's more of a 'need to buy'

My 'Club' bib-tights are to the point of unsafe to wear, with multiple holes
They've been sewn up innumerable times

On the bright side, they're not Assos, as kit was many years ago, when I first joined!



Split
- on the inside of left thigh, near chamois
- outer right calf
- left knee
- where yellow insert, meets right thigh

The lycra has also deteriorated to the point of showing the 'yellow; of the elasticated fibres on both knees & calves

32mm Schwalbe Road cruiser gumwall tyres

 

[booze and cake]

My Ebay addiction continues, this months bike purchases:

-vintage campagnolo cycling shorts with actual leather chamois!
-replacement bottle cage to replace a broken one
-flite saddle to replace SLR with a recently snapped rail
-replacement Sidi heel pads for SPD-SL shoes
-lovely bargain pair of silver 2nd hand campag chorus hubs laced to Mavic Open Pro rims complete with tyres and 29t cassette
-2 campag 9 speed rear hubs for spares or with a view to building up into wheelset at a later date
-2 campag cassettes so I can mix and match and make my own custom cassette ratios
-replacement Campag ergo power rubber brake/shifter hoods
-3T Arx Pro stem in -17 degrees for my Denti
and finally yesterday, some vintage 24 carat gold plated crank bolts for my gold lug lined Mercian, arguably my most vanity/tarty shameful purchase ever, but I'm worth it

Time attac pedals mx2.I was out with my brother last Friday and when I finished riding I had pain in my right knee and thigh.I reckon I was too fixed in one position for too long.I guess some of it could have been bike fit-but I hadn't had the problem before and never had it before when I rode on time attac pedals-currently try both my bikes have shimano spd's on but I think the fixed position is a lot of the problem-we' ll see.I'm an old geezer getting fit again after a long lay off and my kid brother is on a mission with me.All the reports that I've read say knee pain -get time attac pedals and being a bit impatient I just grabbed the bikes by the pedals and decided to change Them!

I've pushed the boat out and bought 89p with of previous cut and made up cable outer, a new bottle cage a a brake adapter totalling a tenner!

On the upside I'm chuffed CRC are now offering collect + as a free delivery option.

 

[si_c]

Bought two full sets of disc brake pads. There is still a lot of wear left in the current ones, even after 2k miles or so, but II'd rather be prepared.

 

[screenman]

A new padlock, nice long chain, bracket to hang it on and unfortunately no keys. No it is not a combination, that will teach me not to let the Mrs talk me into something I did not want to buy in the first place.
