What have you bought for the bike today ?

[Justinitus]

Yesterday, bought a set of cone spanners to service the hubs on the Tern. £12.99 in the LBS, £4.49 in the local Mica hardware shop - exact same Silverline set..

 

[Goofball]

Handlebar tape x2, handlebar ends, cable casing, crank set, brakes, pliers for releasing the link in a chain, chain, pedals and a spare gear cable.

New helmet on BH Monday, from Planet X

And, treated the CGR to a new chain yesterday
First one, since I bought it, in early March, and pleasingly, the cassette is fine with the new chain (brake pads look okay too)
Nice & shiney




It seems to have lasted longer than the one on the 'blue' Ribble
I conjecture, that due to the gritty mixture of road-grime, and brake-pad not falling on the cassette/chain in bad weather, or dripping onto it, the drive-train will last longer
'Ditto' brake pads, with being away from the abrasive road-grime

Royce Hubs? You naughty boy
Lovely, looking forward to seeing them.

The handmades I got from DCR Hunt for the VN 18 months ago are as true now as they were I got them.

Did someone say VN!!!! I love them bikes

Rear light...mornings are allmost dark now when I leave for work.

A seat post pannier rack.


Shouldn't have bothered.
Too fiddly. Just as quick getting a regular one on and off.

 

[Slick]

I've finally given up the battle not to fit any uncool equipment to the bike, so I bought a set of mud guards, a standard rack, a storage bag, a rear clip on light, a packet of C02 canisters, a couple of cone spanners, and 2 pairs of cycling socks. £90 with the BC discount, so reasonably happy. It's to pour with rain almost all day tomorrow, so I might fit everything then.

Schwalbe marathon plus tyre, 2x slime tubes, some tyre levers and a cheap inner tube (just in case somehow the slimes and M+ fail), assorted helmet mounts cos really struggling to get the Roadhawk attached properly to my vented helmet. And 2x water bottles. Will be able to commute 5x days a week if I want (rather than the 1 day every 3 weeks now) come a weeks time so might as well prepare for it :-)

Oh, and some thermal bibs

Nothing yet, but I'm sorely tempted to get a new Garmin

Hovering over an element bolt at the moment but thinking will I actually use it..no cycle computer yet.

Agreed...just back into it a few months and picking up whats needed as I go along

 

[Heigue'r]

Michelin pro4 endurance to replace conti gp4000s2 that are shredded from the daily commute...rear has only done 400miles and its sliced in a few places..front has around 1200 on it and seems to puncture every few rides...hopefully the pro 4's are a bit more resilient
5 tubes
Couple of bidons
Front light
New brake blocks

 

[deanbmx]

A pair of fabric cageless water bottles.

Park Tools disc truer - what a staggeringly sexy purchase!

I just use my hands. Seems to work just fine.
