Not yet, but I am about to. I broke my chain this morning and fell off. I need a new chain, bar tape, and a new arm warmer. I think that is all. The scuffed lever, pedal and rear mech will survive.

Whiskey has an alcohol content,does it not?

Yes, but who'd use it to fit bar tape?

It makes me fall over when on my pins so p'raps not a good idea to use fallingdownlube on thje bike at all :)

My Schwalbe Durano Plus 25c tyres arrived today  :)

Where did you order them from?

I still haven't received the ones I ordered in August. I'm beginning to think Flatus wasn't joking when he said they're picky about who they sell them to.

they are now showing back in stock at petracycles :)

Oh, I might use whiskey for that.  Wouldn't use whisky, though.

I've ordered a pair of Schwalbe Land Cruiser tyres to try to deter the p uncture fairy on my towpath jaunts and to get some grip.

I'm toying with the idea of getting a new stem and bar grips for my MTB.

Yay my Schmidt dynamo hub wheel has arrived. Unfortunately they sent the wrong type of Cyo with it (they sent the non sensor version, I ordered the BML64) so I can't try it out yet. Will have a mess around this afternoon and fit it with a tyre though :)

I finally got a bunch of bits resent from EBC when the Royal Mail managed to deliver it (and get it signed for) at the wrong place (I know not where).

Someone in Southwark has three sets of bar tape, two skewers (TACX turbo & Bob) and a pair of Bobnutz that they don't know what to do with.

But hey - I have too, and I know exactly what to do with all of them :thumbsup:

Yesterday I got a 105 freehub body, a torque wrench, some bar tape and some kool stops. 
All of which was surprisingly expensive

Today I resisted buying a Hope hub but how long I can hold out I don't know  ;D

Well, I changed the spec on the width of the bars on my new Pompino. I wish it would hurry up and be delivered.  I'm quite interested to see these crinkly spacers in the flesh.

Just bought a MTB rear brake cable inner from lbs that I try to avoid whenever possible.   It's the first time I shopped there since they insisted on calling me "buddy" seven times when I was trying to spend money.  May be OK for that Essex cooking kid but not for me.

Michelin Krylion in 25 width.

From Welcom on XXcycle in France  Postage was a bit pricy which bumped the price to about £25 each.  5 days delivery!  I could not find any in the UK.
