Thread to tell everyone what bike gear you've just bought !

Skippy2309

I have been looking for the top tube bag for a while :-) ordering now along with a saddle bag.

Been an expensive month so far :P

So far:
Raleigh Flyer, Front wheel, Tyres x 2 (Rubino pros), Tubes x 4, Rim Tape, Bar Tape, Headset - I am sure theres more..... I literally just have to sort out the cranks and get it powder coated... which may need to wait a little while first

w86h2000

A pair of these to counteract all the bits of glass on the road :twisted:

One of these for when the summer arrives and I can go out on the bike for longer rides and take all the stuff I need to carry, might be a little big but I'd rather too big than too small.

A lifeline track pump.

Means I can finally get my tyres on my Spec Dolce inflated again after my old pump came apart and deflated them nicely.

So is there a velodrome trip planned or is everyone just going more fakenger?

I'm going to go soon, I missed out on the lfgss one as I wanted to use my bike... not I can (once I get it sorted)

Come to Reading!! Half an hour on the train from Paddington - I'll meet you at the station and ride you all down there.

Monday nights is Track League (where I race very badly)

To race you'd need a BC Licence with Silver Membership, your own track bike (fixed wheel only, no brakes, lockring) and pay the fees.

Tuesday's is an open road bike session - so you need brakes.

Thursday's is track training sessions at the moment - so coached sessions for track bikes only. They have hire bikes for a 5iver.

If you're a complete beginner (i.e. never ridden fixed) they'll set you off on the running track to get you used to riding. If you're ok with fixed, they'll probably throw you into the group to warm up behind the derny, then onto drills.

Drills range from derny pacing to practice sprints (200m flying, 500m standing start) we practice points races etc. too. Quite a variety, and good fun (when you're not blowing out your ar5e).

At the LBS on Saturday a Le Col shirt with the MDCC logo on as they are the new shirt sponsor. Pair of DHB finchdean shorts in Red, and a set of shimano cleats for my new SIdi Ergo 2 Carbons. Also LBS (Colin-Lewis) has rung informing me that my bike is ready. Which is me just about set for L2P next week.

Bought some stuff to take my daughter to nursery and short weekend trips:


Hamax Siesta from Evans


Specialized Small Fry from Evans


Schwalbe Marathon Plus 700 x 25 from HighOnBikes - need proper durable tyres to take my daughter places


Time I-clic cleats for my other pair of shoes


Couple of them for the commuting bike

Man, I've had that jersey for three months and now everyone is getting it. I'm going to have to find a different one now.

Living out in the countryside I see so few other riders (more than three other people on bikes for the whole journey counts as busy) that there's very little risk of having the same outfit as anyone else. You want to try moving out of that smelly crowded city

glauciaregina9

Not very interesting, but I've just ordered new pivot bearings for my Orange 5

See, I told you it wasn't very interesting.
Of course, trying to fit the darn things could be more interesting... :?

I think i'm going to get the red sprinters jersey

New mountain bike frame/fork.

Well, it is nearly my birthday.

And it was so shiny.

amnezia

some of these latex inner tubes



some evo cx II's



and a pair of Girodana Tenax Carbon Bibs

TommyEss

I can think of better applications for latex - bet these run lovely and quickly though, eh?!

Lets hope so, i haven't had a chance to try them out. They are ridculously light for inner tubes.

allotropic

Bike Tool Aluminium Workstand from Ribble.

MonkeyMonster

so... crc have none of the "odd" variety of jerseys I haven't either got or in my size - like the northwave skeleton or primal broken ribs one - where else have been people seen good ones?

UndercoverElephant

A pair of Rubino Pros, a longer stem and some better brake pads for the Orbea.

Stem wins bargain of the week for me, 3TTT Synthesis quill stem, 130mm length brand-new:



For the bargain price of £4.99 including delivery. :shock:

Think so, fingers crossed, eh?

gabriel959

no brakes though?

TommyEss

I think if you buy them from a shop they'll supply the brakes, normally at cost.
