Picked up 2X Vittoria Randonneur tyres from Collect+ last night ordered from CRC. 2nd time lucky as according to the tracking info they had arrived Saturday! Ordered to replace some Schwalbe Marathon Originals which which I didn't really get on with on my 100% Tarmac commute. Surprised as they have a good reputation.
New chain, new chain tool (which means the lost one will appear as soon as I remove it from it's backing card, new grease not in a metal tube, so it won't leak out the sides, and new chain oil.
Two Vittoria latex inner tubes in 19-24 size because my present latex inners are much too fat and are crinkling up inside the tyres. Also it's difficult to refit the tyre with a too fat inner.
Today I bought myself a helmet after one off in the wet,2 crash's,1 my fault,one not my fault,one near miss on a roundabout yesterday evening,scary, and pressure from friends and family.
