That's this set ?

Truflo Micro Co2 Pump (£9.99)

you'd recommend it then ?

TimO · « **Reply #126 on:** 03 April, 2010, 10:29:38 pm »

That looks the same.

To be fair, I haven't used any others, but this one worked pretty well.

It's not complex, but it worked as intended. It comes with a couple of 16g cartridges, but Simon gave me some 25g ones, which were each more than enough for a road tyre (it probably filled 1½ tyres per cartridge).

The 16g ones, which seem to be more easily available, are meant to be OK for a single road tyre (120psi) or MTB tyre (40psi).

(I paid about 70p each for a heap of cartridges, only not from a bicycle supplier!)

Tyres and chains for Stoker's machines.

A 9 speed 13-28 Campag Veloce cassette for me.

Greenbank · « **Reply #131 on:** 06 April, 2010, 02:08:35 pm »

PowerTap SL+ hub and Garmin Edge 705.

Small but very expensive box from Wiggle has just been dropped off.

I just ordered a Tortec Expedition Rear Rack. I quite fancied the Tubus Cosmo, but at three times the price of the Tortec, it seems a little on the steep side. $:-\$

I've bought Tortec racks in the past, and they seem to be OK. The black ones don't stay black, they go a sort of dark bronze, but I can live with that.

After breaking my 15 year old Shimano BB tool I bought a new one Tacx TT4415.

Powerlinks!

I went down to Decathlon and bought n+2 (n+1 is underway, this one has overtaken it!). It's really not a bad bike for £70. I was going to cycle home with it (about 12 miles), but the gearing is so low, you spin out at something like 15mph! In the end I cycled the 3 to 4 miles to London Bridge Station, and got a train to East Croydon.

I actually bought it to use as a snow bike, and outside the shop I took the original pedals off and replaced them with some cheapo Decathlon SPD clones (thereby saving myself the £3.95 they would have charged to do this 30 second job).

By the time I've put some studded tyres on, it'll be worth more than twice the original cost!

A pair of 26" x 1.5" Bontrager Hard Case tyres for my Scott and a spare folding Bontrager 700 x 25 in a rather fetching red and black for the Trek.

More effective than half a chainset?

Fantastic

My nephew will tell you (and anyone else that gets in earshot) that Islabikes make THE BEST bikes of all

As will mini-hatler who has just about outgrown his Beinn 20.

There really was little decision making involved.

Jaded · « **Reply #145 on:** 20 April, 2010, 09:45:19 am »

3 chains and a new cassette bought last week under Mr P's expert guidance. Then installed by Mr P for a pint or so, so I might get back on 2 wheels...

PaulF · « **Reply #146 on:** 20 April, 2010, 09:49:06 am »

I went on a bit of a spree last week

Some shorts from Ground Effect (which appear to be another casualty of the dust

) plus new helmet and shoes from Decathlon.

Greenbank · « **Reply #147 on:** 20 April, 2010, 10:09:10 am »

Today I bought a 2009 Wilier Izoard Centaur for £88.13 from CycleScheme UK.

Greenbank · « **Reply #148 on:** 23 April, 2010, 11:50:07 am »

Garmin GSC10 speed/cadence sensor for the geared audax bike (so I can swap over the PowerTap wheel).
Pair of cheeky little Knog LED lights to make sure I'm not caught out after dark on the Wilier.
