Ultegra 6800 pedals from Pro Bike Kit to match the groupset on the new bike*. Best price I've seen since I've been looking, although could really do with deleting the cyclingbargains app!

*I know probably a waste to pay the ultegra premium for the pedals rather than just go for 105, but it matches! Saving the mismatch for the zondas

Pair of Fizik R4B's after the dog ate the boa dial on my R5B's. One way to get an upgrade I suppose

:p Only €125 on the Canyon site.

Vintage LOOK pedals for my 1986 La Vie Claire replica team bike and an ISIS drive Italian thread bottom bracket (finally found one in a bike shop in Texas!!) for the vintage Bianchi steel bike project. Woohoo!

no pics of the Bianchi yet, as the frame is away getting glass bead blasted before I respray it in Celeste. I'm going to commit sacrilege by building it with Shimano parts!

Just received my Moon Meteor Storm Pro light and the thing is seriously bright. Can start commuting now soon.

Also got an Osprey backback for said commute. Now to see how often I join the Wimp list

would love to get a front rack for the workhorse

Wahoo Element Bolt as of ten minute ago... first spin in months and after the Garmin just wouldn't charge or connect properly, its old, well weathered and been acting the mick a lot since the summer, was about to pull the trigger on a 520 but actually couldn't find a bad review on the wahoo and I kinda like its design, also a bit fed up with all the connecting and clicking that went into syncing my Garmin 500 with Strava

Won’t regret it great gps made the switch from 520 and have not looked backed is faultless

Soft cover bike bag.
The wife’s car can’t take a bike rack. So have to put down the back seats and put it in the boot. And don’t want to wreck it.

8valve · 30-01-2018 9:14pm

8.4mm silicon cord (oh the excitement!!) so I can rebuild the airvalves in my 1990s RockShox Paris Roubaix forks, for the ongoing Bianchi Steel project.
And a pair of Continental tubs for the Spinergys going on the same bike.
This is going to be some mongrel....cooler than penguin's piss.....but a mongrel, nonetheless.
The vintage steel bike nazi purists will be out for my blood....:-)
Wait till they find out I'm using a vintage Shimano groupset and not Campag!!!!!

Mitts and a couple of cycling biography books, who's I can't remember......aging badly. Me not the kit.

Hi All,

Not sure if I'm in the right place to ask this, but sure I'll go for it anyway.
Can anyone recommend winter cycling gloves that are water resistant? Coming home after every cycle lately with hands like ice cubes. I've seen a few guys out cycling wearing what appears to be scuba gloves, can anyone advise on this?

Cheers.

Probably not the right place, but I'd recommend these

Dunno about Scuba gloves but I've worn Neoprene fishing gloves and they were S$%te...... although waterproof my hands seemed to get very cold inside them... Aldi's Lobster Gloves in size XL with good fleece gloves worn under them seem to work so far, better than some awful €50 Endura gloves I bought which were terrible.... (I sprayed the Aldi Lobster gloves with a water repellent silicone spray but needs redoing)

(Some people swear by Sealskinz gloves, never had them so can't comment)>

I suppose your question is in the right place once you get your gloves posted out to you...;)
