What bike related thing is in the post to you right now ...

jon1981

Lately it seems I've constantly got bike stuff in the post. I've not yet hit the "i'm not spending another f**king penny " mood but getting close, but there's always something i need! Last week it was SKS raceblades, week before that it was reflective helmet cover, then it was a neck warmer and gloves.

This week KMC 10sp chain and a rear LED light , added the rear light to get my free P&P, still needed it though.

So what's on it's way to you right now?

Its just a fancy zip lock bag with a hole to tie a string to, but it looks to be a heavy grade of plastic, for 99p its worth a punt (no pun intended). Its just for my phone and key during the winter.

99p Water Prooof bag from eBay

Hope 40 tooth expander sprocket for the rear, to give me an 11-40 effective cassette range, which will let me run a 34 or 36 chainring at the front without it feeling like my legs are warping from the climbs. Handy gadget, you remove the 15t cog from the cassette, and put the 40t on the hub body first, and then the rest of the cassette without the 15t. Gives the range of 11 speed without the cost, or the allegedly fragile chain,only downside is the 17 to 13 gap high up the cassette.

Got some dura ace ebay brake callipers because my road ultegra ones are gone stiff, could put grease in them, but buying secondhand seems like good value

I'm assuming the 40T is for a MTB?

Mec-a-nic

Damn you rosebikes - too much nice stuff - currently in the post - all the stuff I forgot in the order I made last week for a 1990s MTB retro rebuild:

* 107mm bottom bracket (square taper)
* cheap 27.0 mm seatpost because I don't want to hammer in the expensive 27.2mm seatpost in my spares box
* a 5mm spacer for a 1inch headset because I don't need the canti hanger - moving up to v-brake (yeah!)
* another LED headlamp for dynamo (winter is coming! - halogen ain't going to cut it)

Crocked

A 105 groupset, set of RS010 11 speed compatible wheels & cassette for the winter and pair of Castelli bibs. Hoping I've gotten the sizing right on the bibs this time

Zyzz

Mail order bride.

Should have added to my previous post, I've a set of Northwave Torpedo Plus (Canyon shoe sale), and a Gabba convertible in or soon to be in the post at the moment. I'd have killed for the latter yesterday evening in one shower I got caught in on the way out to Corkagh Park to spectate/support!

No, but he's going to ride her......

Sorry, it's too early for jokes like that.

cython

I just thought it was his way of putting an actually number on the much-maligned S-1 quantity in order to keep a bike-buying addiction in check......

eeeee

Why assume It's a her?

Zyzz has several new bikes to buy. Crashing a race bike means there must be at least two replacements

New bike arrived yesterday, so nothing actually in the post at the moment, but the shopping list is out. New gloves badly needed, and thinking on a Brooks C17 if the saddle on the new bike saddle doesn't work out.

Buchaill_Mor

Waiting on a Cog set with chain and rear derailleur. In the last week, I received a new quill stem (extended length), rear pannier rack, front low rider pannier racks, mud guards, extended length seat post, 2nd hand flat sided SPD pedals, paint stripper, Olive Drab spray paint, flat white spray paint, clear coat spray paint, saint black spray paint. Will have to hold off a while before I get the tan leather saddle and bar grips, and possibly thinking about a tan leather saddle bag to attach to the back of the saddle.

johnk123

New gear cables on the way here too. On the look out for this winters bib tights... There's always something else to add to the list!!!

monkeyslayer

4 brake blocks, another 10 speed ultegra chain (they keep snapping on me, terrible quality these days, hopefully this'll be the one that keeps going for a few 1000kms) and some muc off to take me into the qualify for free shipping bracket.

eeeee

Kool Stop replacement pads for the frankly dangerous Modolo sinterized pads that don't work.

lizzylad84

a BBB small tool bottle, should be fun squeezing a tube, tyre levers, co2 canister and multi tool into it, but better than a ugle saddle bag

traprunner

Long sleeved jersey, short sleeved jersey, gloves, saddle bag, bottle cages and a led light to strap on to the saddlebag.

Just pulled the trigger on a new 40 spoke wheelset with a dynamo hub for my Bikenstien project. Can you run a Cree lamp off I e of these or should I order a specific Led lamp??

StevieGriff

This softshell baselayer from Rapha. Came across it on the Rapha site reduced and thought it was a brilliant idea. Looking forward to trying it out.

godtabh

A pair of castelli gloves and saddle bag.

Use a proper lamp. I use the Cyo Premium T and the Toplight Brake Plus.

From the front light, you get all of the beam focussed on the road rather than lighting up the trees above you (and dazzling oncoming drivers/cyclists). From the rear light, you have a standlight when stopped as well as a brake light (it detects the dynamo slowing down and lights up brighter).

Thanks for the info......
