It's finally happened...

Cee-Jay-Cee

...I cannot find any bike related stuff to buy. I have everything I need including plenty of spare parts.

I have €100 in a PayPal account and figured I'd trawl through CRC, Wiggle, Ribble etc and see if there were any sales or anything that took my fancy and after nearly an hour scanning various sites I've given up. For the first time since I started cycling 5 years ago there is absolutely nothing (not including bikes or wheels) that I want to buy. I have multiples of jerseys, shorts, socks, I have 3 helmed, 3 pairs of shoes, brand new spare tyres for both bikes and plenty of tubes, gels, arse cream etc etc I have all the necessary tools required for 99% of jobs on a bike. I have pumps and many pairs of glasses. There is simply nothing left to buy.

I never thought the day would come.

Sounds like you've taken a blow to the head.

Unfortunately not today, I have to look after the off Spring while the missus wastes a beautiful day like this wandering around shops with her mum.

Spend more time on the bike than the Internet! Maybe while you are riding you suddenly realise you need something and then there is something to buy Did you consider talking up a project to upgrade one of the bikes? You could spend money on buying new handlebars for example or even a new saddle. In my case you always need something, you might even see a new bike and want that. Bike envy is normal in the blood of cyclists you might even want a better performing jersey or shorts!

Brian?

Nope. You need future consumables; bar tape, brake blocks, cables, tubes and tyres.

Tool chest. Or socks.

Sounds like you need a new bike to buy stuff for.

Do you have one of those little brackets that goes under water bottle to attach a pump and 2 co2 canisters?

Yes but don't use it as I prefer the cartridges inside my saddle pouch.

Yes two pump heads and plenty of spare cartridges

Not wanting to hijack this thread, but does anyone have one of these a few years and still find they use it much? I'm kinda tempted at that price as a new toy to play around with, but not sure if it'd only keep my interest for a few commutes or spins. Do they create such massive files that you rarely keep anything? I've read the full review on DC Rainmaker but wondering if people are still using them actively?
