Extra baggage allowance (for the bike) on my flight home from Paris.

Spesh 700x20-28 inner tubes were 10 for £19.95 at Condor yesterday.
Also got some Nuun and a new rack mount for a Cateye light.

Due to the time it took Condor to get my bike sorted out they gave me some free shorts too. Will try them out before PBP but I can always reserve them for the final day when I'll double up on shorts (worked a treat on LEL).

Will be going home via Halfords to pick up some bidons with caps (to avoid gut rot from animal crap on the rural French roads).

Some bar ends for MrsLurker's bike from (whisper it) Halfrauds. An experiment to see if we can sort out neck pain on longer rides.

Bought no cycling stuff today.

I'll be a poor student as from next month so I'll ask Santa nicely if I can get a front dynamo hub wheel for xmas!

I took delivery of a packaged form Bridgwater this morning, containing a Rigida Andra Carbide rim, 26" diameter, and a set of Swissstop Blue blocks.

Releasable cable ties. Combined with the presta-valved tubes in assorted comedy sizes, souwester and SCUBA gear, I should be all set for this even-numbered^[1] Exmouth Exodus.

A couple of Michelin Krylion carbons to fit to the Mavic Kysrium Elites I got earlier in the week.

Ordered a Gatorksin folding 25c from Chain Reaction £21.95 - same price as the wired version so seemed a bit of a bargain, as the RRP is £5 more

Will match an odd one I have lying around- bad form to have mismatched fornt and back tyres as you all know

Halfords really are pants. The last three items I have visited them for they did not have in stock. Today was cable ends and crimping tool. Had the ends but no tool. Managed to get one from B and Q at laughable cost.

I have become very fond of those tyres, since switching to them.

Not counting my chickens, but I believe I have been able to locate a source of unobtanium...

Is that so you can rustle up a suspensor field generator to nullify the weight of the aforementioned SCUBA gear?

Yesterday I bought one of the On-One In-bred 29ers and front and rear mechs for same.

Today i have purchased some replacement parts for my Sidis.

Have just ordered the disc brakes from the LBS, same price as CRC, but without the fraud risk or postage costs

After the fourth parcel turned up today, my wife asked me if I had any money left

Bling new wheels being fitted later

LindaG · « **Reply #1314 on:** 19 August, 2011, 03:22:48 pm »

Eventually we'll all have to set up home together in a big shack made of cardboard boxes with "Wiggle" and "CRC" and "Bike+" printed on the sides.

ooooo, what did you buy?

I can't wait to get into the ~~garage~~ bike shed and start fettling my InBred (that sounds so wrong on so many levels)

Six peanut butter clif bars, two Co-op cherry genoa cakes and a tin of ambrosia rice pudding!

I bought the travel insurance with added cycle touring cover.

New shoes because I left mine at home

Resisted the temptation of the shiny at Royles.

Blingy new wheels for the Cayo ( picture posted in Members bikes) and new tyres and some tubes and some serious upgrade garage door security

New On-One long-sleeved merino jersey arrived today. Veeeery nice.

Last LBS visit to get some new brakes for the MTB resulted in me getting a ridiculous deal on some Avid Elixir Code-R Carbons. I like my LBS.

Brake Cables: Orange.
Gear Cables: Orange.
Electrical Wire: Orange.
Zip Ties: Orange.

Only the first two were from an Online cycling retailer (Those lovely SJS people). The last two were from two random petrolhead/drifting/dip-me-in-superglue-and-ramraid-Halfords Online retailers. I feel rather dirty now.

Never mind. I'm sure they'd feel worse if they knew their beloved products were going to end up on a "pushbike".

New shoes! Been on order for about 3 weeks. Finally arrived, & they fit. That's a rarity with me & shoes. Lake MX-85 in wide fitting - hence the delay in getting them.
