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

Pair of Prime Pro Road Disc wheels. These are CRCs own brand, and from what I gather they are Alexrims ATD01 rims on rebranded Novatec hubs.

£300 and a smidgen over 1400g. Tubeless too.

What user feedback I can find is good so worth a punt.

Looks a great bargain (especially with BC discount), shame they don't have a 6-bolt version in stock at either CRC or Wiggle, ~400g weight savings over the stock Fulcrum Racing77 DBs on my Cube.

I guess there's always the option of fitting centre to 6-bolt adapters...

They've never been available as 6-bolt so I don't know why they list it.

Pair of 25mm gp4000's to keep until spring arrives.
Pair of northwave scorpious 2 shoes to replace my ruined sidis. Had good experiences with northwave before so hoping these are the same.
Both bought at CRC in the sale and using BC discount which ended up being a good deal.

20 sets of brake pads :shock: Only ordered 2 pairs but got sent 20 which would explain why the package wouldn't go through the letterbox on Thursday and I had to go to the sorting office today to collect them. As soon as I picked up the box I knew something was up cause of the weight, only been charged for two pairs.
Moral dilema time now, do I keep quiet and sell surplus on Ebay or inform the retailer?

Don’t suppose they are Exalith pads? Lol

No, Shimano disc pads for my Juin Tech R1 callipers. Was going to contact the retailer and see what they said earlier tonight but bottled it and waited to see what people said here.

Two pairs of La Passione summer bib shorts for £97 the pair (of pairs) delivered - bonkers value, stunning bit of kit, and a pad that I rate 99% as highly as those on the Rapha Pro Team bibshorts.

After a slashed tyre and puncture on a fairly new Continental 4Season on Xmas Day ride, I've gone bit crazy and bought 3 pairs to compensate 8)

Pair of Continental GP4000S ii 28mm (Couldn't resist £50 deal)
2 x Schwalbe Durano Plus Raceguard 28mm (managed to get them for £17.48 each before BC &TCB)
and two Lifeline Race 28mm from CRC

Schwalbe have gone straight on for winter. will keep the continentals for summer use and Lifeline for those months in between.

Just fyi, the raceguard is a lighter, and has slightly less fairy resistance than the plus. Stock durano first, then the raceguard, and finally the plus with the thick blue layer.

It confused me for ages, finally found an explanation buried on their website.

Edit: There's a double defence tyre in there now as well, I give up!

indyp

Thanks DB and my mistake I've not bought the plus. Hopefully they'll do the job without affecting ride quality too much.

I bought a couple of wheelsets yesterday. A Mavic Aksium set, and a Mavic Cosmic set. The Cosmics were a bit of a bargain from Sigma. I just need to decide which bike to fit which wheels to now. The original idea was to replace the ( worn out ) Cosmics on the B’Twin 720 AF, with the new Cosmics, and use the Aksiums to upgrade the Triban 560 CF wheels, but now I’m not sure. I may stick the Aksiums on the 720, and upgrade the 560 to Cosmics. The 720 has an 11 speed Ultegra set up, and the 560 has a 105 / Tiagra 10 speed mix, so I can’t swap and change without changing cassettes over. Decisions decisions.

The double defence has increased shielding on the side walls, as far as I recall. You’re right about the plus tyres too, they really are difficult to defeat ( puncture wise ) I’ve got them in one of my bikes, and I’ve dug some horrific pointy stuff out of them, without having suffered any punctures.

Didn't buy it, as it was a birthday present, but one of these:



Wore for the first time yesterday on the commute and toastie warm.

Condor Pioggia disc forks for the LB Robinson plus an SP dynamo hub to re-build the front Archetype rim,again for the Robinson.

Not even going to begin listing the eighteen items I ordered from Rapha this morning. All the fault of Matt_N for alerting me to the improved sale.
In all likelihood, if everything fits, and is to my liking, only two are destined to be returned

milemuncher1

A new Fizik Arione saddle ( I really get on with them) and a load of new inner tubes.

HOY Gel Bar Tape & FWE Microfiber Gel Bar Tape at 3.99 each.

£24 for dual ANT+/Bluetooth HRM.

Very quickly detected for pairing by the ANT+ dongle I bought recently, no issues so far with recording, seems a bargain.

A 52-36 170mm Ultegra Chainset for the 720 AF.

For the small child in my life:



Not necessarily to be worn together, but she does rock some unique looks.

A £32 GP4Seasons from Cycle Republic with Wiggle price match but no BC discount, was told one or the other not both. I told the guy serving and the manager I've had both in previous times but not everytime.

I have two, their ace - especially if they have the yellow stripe ;-)
Personally, my ultimate perch.

They're*

Gone for white to match the Colnago - has a yellow flash on the nose. Picked it up for about 80% off as well.

I have the black one with velvet stripe down the middle on the Boardman and always liked it. The Colnago came with a Selle Italia SLR Team which is fine, but not for me.

Fair point, and well made :oops:

80% off - where and how?!

I thought I was doing well with mine for 60% off.
