Replacement Fizik Kurve Bull saddle from Bike24, will be interesting to see if the new one can survive without the base shell cracking :rolleyes::rolleyes: Most comfortable saddle i've ever had.

Fake Oakley Jawbreaker till funds allow me get the real deal, best glasses i have worn on a bike.

triggermortis · 02-07-2016 1:38pm

New Rose shorts n jersey to match my good bike, 2 tyres, a new chain for the commuter, Hi5 tabs and more tyre patches (Park tb-2).
Spent a lot of time comparing different sites this morning as a lot have 20% off for the weekend, but couldn't decide which Castelli gear to get, and the Rose site works out cheaper for me as I have a Swiss shipping address

I find rose to be the cheapest a bit and they don't bother doing the Harvey Norman type sales that chain reaction do with their tyres etc

Galibier Mistral jacket. Hope it lives up to its billing.

Chuchote · 03-07-2016 9:23am

Silk gloves to go inside my winter cycling gloves and stop the lining sticking to cold wet fingers and turning inside out.

Rogue-Trooper · 04-07-2016 11:18am

Silicone cover & screen protector for my Edge 520 from eBay.

Great jacket - you won't be needing it for a few months yet though! Don't think I've worn mine since March asI find it very warm.

Ha mine arrived today, fit is great I was worried the arms may be short but they are nice and long.

I've been wearing the foul gillet and find it great but my arms get cold and wet!

The jacket has some nice extra features like the zip pocket. Now if only the weather would turn foul...

Have you got a link for these? Wanted to try silk or merino liners. My fingers get really cold in winter.

Decathlon do them if you are anywhere close to one over the summer.

Got them on Amazon - link will have gaps due to my newfound newbie status, but join it up.

These were size small, but just search for the name (Jasmine Silk Pure Silk Gloves Thermal Liner Glove Inner Ski Bike Cycle Gloves - or just "silk cycling gloves") and you should find different sizes. They were £8.

Be prepared to be disappointed so. The fakes are cheap and flimsy compared to the real deal.

Agreed but they will do for 3/4 weeks till i can get a real pair. Cheapies will do fine for training spins, its my second pair.

This tome.

Internet Friend · 06-07-2016 4:22pm

Broke my see.sense back light last week so ordered a shiny new Icon today.

ted1 · 06-07-2016 8:40pm

Chainrings arrived today, see the wear after over 20,000.
Forgot to order a chain so off to order one know. And will probably grab a tyre too, the front one is pretty worn.
Picked up some new brake blocks today too.

Close to 40k on that crankset, arms will probably fail from foot rub before rings..

crosstownk · 06-07-2016 9:00pm

I've a Dura Ace chain and a pair of SH12 cleats on the way. Both my current chain and cleats are well worn.

It'll be interesting to see if I need to replace the cassette once the new chain is fitted - there's 10,000km on the cassette. Thankfully I've a new Ultegra cassette in my 'spare parts box' if needed.

Next purchase will be a pair of Michelin Pro4 tyres.

As the kms roll by the bike is becoming a monthly money pit!

F.Grimes · 13-07-2016 6:49pm

Tacx neo trainer! Can't stand sitting at home waiting for a great day to anymore!

Ultegra cassette and a campy lock ring tool!

niallo32 · 13-07-2016 8:08pm

Shimano Carbon shoes

Cee-Jay-Cee · 13-07-2016 9:06pm

Elite 750cl bottle
Continental 700/25 tyre
Vittoria late tube
Shimano yellow cleats
Park tool self sticking puncture repair patches.

crosstownk · 13-07-2016 9:15pm

I've also a pair of Michelin Pro4 V2 Endurance tyres (with free tubes

) on the way from CRC.

I think the timing is now right for a major service on the bike......

g0g · 13-07-2016 10:17pm

It's been a busy month or so
1) VIRB, Rivelo Bib Shorts and 2 x GP4 Seasons tyres from Sportspursuit thanks to the 20% extra off code!
2) New lock from Amazon with the tenner free deal.
3) New winter jacket from Wiggle
4) New helmet, shoes, 2 bottles
And that's just what I can remember! Next due in I think is the jacket

jamesd · 13-07-2016 10:53pm

2 Canyon canibal water bottle holders
Canyon Garmin holder for stem
And since I don't have a canyon for them already I had to order a Canyon endurace cf slx 8 di2 in red

Tree Scape · 14-07-2016 11:33am

Galibier Team Bibshorts
Looking forward to seeing how they stack up, might then plump for some winter gear from them

Koobcam · 14-07-2016 12:16pm

Celtic Knot 1000 in a few weeks, and I've realised that my raingear is complete sh*te, so I've bought a dhb rain jersey (basically like a gabba but half the price) and a Gore rain jacket-pretty expensive kit but apparently the business.
