    Hi guys, very selfish thread here.

    I'm making an order off CRC and my order came to 108, If I get to 125 then I get 10% off, paying 112.50ish. So I've been browsing the site for a half an hour and cant find anything I deem useful to me at this price at the moment.

    I'm a beginner cyclist so I turn it over to you guys on Boards to give me some advice on what I should definitely have but I wouldn't have thought of. All suggestions welcomed! Thanks in advance.

    Really depends on what you have already.

    Obvious small things that come to mind straight away:

    Tubes
    Water bottle and cage
    Tools
    Pump
    Saddle bag
    Cheap lights
    Lube
    Socks
    Cheap gloves
    .
    .
    .
    .

    Cool, I just loaded up on tubes in the end. I will buy a saddle bag, but can get them far cheaper than Chain Reaction.

    The answer is obviously to buy a new bike and then you don't have to worry!

    Crc don't sell them as they don't ship compressed gas

    As an older cyclist whose body doesn't twist as well as it once did, a handlebar mirror is worth its weight in gold.

    Tubes and lubes.
    One to keep your wheels from been ripped on the road, the other to keep you from been ripped ;)

    Shoulder of Jameson for those contemplative moments up the gap when you stare at the lakes and think of those big daunting philosophical questions
