What have you bought for bicycle today?

[Numnut]

Cheers, I'm hoping so!

The e-bike is getting a brand new rear tyre instead of some part worn cast off it usually gets. This wet weather is looking to be continuing up here for a while longer so some bitier tread will be welcome. I might even re-tape the rim so it can go back to being tubeless again if it wazzes down this Sunday.

Why did it stop being tubeless ?

[Ditchfinder]

Burped it on a ride and couldn't get it to go back up, as the tyre rolled it had lifted the tape so whacked a tube in to finish the ride and been to lazy to sort the tape since.

A cheap Conti Xynotal (from Sport and Leisure) for the hardtail to go with the Argotal on the front. It's getting a bit drier now so thought it was worth a go. Just Trail Endurance compound which is plenty grippy enough for that bike.

Just off looking at bars ...

Very boringly I've had a set of Lyriks on order for the Curtis since Christmas, estimated arrival was April, LBS got my hopes up a few weeks ago saying you are getting the new ones, only to find out that the 140mm flavour is special order with a very long lead time and the 140 air spring to convert the 150's they have to 140 travel doesn't arrive till the end of June.

Grrr

Hoping for a Pike announcement soon.

I have bought it a bearing service for the rear suspension / motor look over and BB service.
I could have done the bearings - but whne I went onto YouTube and it started mentioning "bearing pullers" I thoght I would help the bike economy along

What is so special about the air spring ? I thought I had upped my Lyriks from 140 to 150 ...

Not sure if this is the right place, but today I bought my cycles a new friend

[weeksy]

Eeek!

[formula400]

Eeek!

I’ve started taking my lad to the pump track and also BMX track, so I now have some to play on with him.

Brake is on order

New set of pedals for the Eeb, cleaned and lubed the old pair of TIME Speciale 12's and they have a few cracks in the cage from heavy impacts as well as a nasty bend and one of the springs is a bit wonky as well from another bastard Dartmoor rock so the RHS pedal is not the most confidence inspiring lock in. TIME XYSTO's ordered.

I shall be sourcing a new T47 BB for the Madone as the NDS bearing is well on its way out. Not sure whether to go for a direct replacement or upgrade to something with ceramic or angular contact bearings.....I'll chat with the LBS tomorrow. Maybe a set of the Maxhit bearings.

Got my self a chain check tool park tool thing, no idea how to use it though……v

A chain splitter and joiner thing pliers……just need a spare chain to rotate.

Got a Lezyne rear light for the road bike, as the other is on it way out.
