I've a top cap that you can attach my light/camera too. Not sure if its a good idea but it was only 5euro.

My Galibier order arrived this morning.
Two lovely touches in it - a free Liberté Multi Scarf (free is always good ) and also a handwritten note on the copy of the invoice saying "Ride Safe Seth".
I'm very impressed!

They're brilliant for that kind of thing. I ordered their light overshoes during the winter time, they included a free pair of the neoprene ones with a handwritten note saying they might be more effective at that time of the year!

Took the plunge and ordered new bib shorts that are the most expensive I’ve ever bought:
1. Assos T Equipe Evo bib shorts
2. Castelli Competizione bibs.

Up to now I’ve always bought the Galibier range but a painful rear end (that new saddles and bike fits just can’t relieve) is making me desperate to try anything up to and including paying €290 for two pairs of new bibs.

MojoMaker · 12-08-2020 10:42am

The bibs aren't the problem unless your pain is coming from skin chafing? Which you said it isn't, I think.

No amount of bibs or adapted clothing is going to alleviate an orthopedic issue on the bike unfortunately.

But they are really nice bibs and I'd love a pair of the Assos in particular

Macy0161 · 12-08-2020 12:41pm

I think shorts are very personal, and I would notice if I'm wearing different (and supposedly similar level) shorts.

You need to try a new saddle not shorts.

Topeak Joe Blow Booster tubeless pump for my first attempt at fitting tubeless tires.

Topeak Fuel Tank top tube bag to give a bit more food storage / clothing options for my first attempt at 200k at some point in Sept hopefully.

Not sure which I am dreading more

dinneenp · 28-08-2020 4:31pm

Saddle bag, inner tubes, front and back lights, Cartridges Inflaters, water bottle & holder.

Want to get this tshirt, requested that colour but with 'VELO' instead of bike to give it that French coolness/air of sophistication.....
link. They have very similar t-shirt with VELO but I prefer the graphic colours on the 'BIKE' one

triggermortis · 28-08-2020 7:41pm

Just ordered some Galibier 3/4 bibs from their sale. Not tried their shorts before and some of mine are on the way out

Weepsie · 31-08-2020 12:50pm

A new shakedry jacket as I think the XL is a bit too big for me

dinneenp · 31-08-2020 1:15pm

Waterproof phone holder from Adverts. Cheap as chips, sits centrally. If it's not great, no big deal, happy to try it before spending €30+ on one

What height/weight are you?

loyatemu · 31-08-2020 1:48pm

Bar tape - never rewrapped my bars before, how hard can it be?
Fingerless Mitts - time to move (slightly) upmarket from the Lidl/Aldi ones I've been wearing.

really only ordered to use my CI voucher.

Weepsie · 31-08-2020 1:51pm

5'11, and currently about 70-71kg. It's not overly big, just flappy on sleeves. and because it's just a bit loose, the necka area might be a weak spot. I had an Idro that I mistakenly bought in medium that was just way, way too small. I bought this jacket before lockdown and I was a few kilos heavier but by the time I tried it out, of course a bit big.

I’m about your height but 20kg heavier and the XL fits me perfectly. One of the best things I’ve ever bought

and still ricky villa · 14-09-2020 9:28am

Bought an MTB in the Canyon sale this morning with a 'massive' €100 off. Something to tootle around with the 6 year old on.
The curious thing is, if you go directly to the bike it is at full price and not shipping for a month or two.
If you follow the Sale link it is in stock (being packed already!) and €100 off

cletus · 14-09-2020 10:43am

The seesense handlebar bag is supposedly in the post to me, having been preordered back at the start of August

*edit* it's no longer in the post, it's now on my bike

ED E · 16-09-2020 7:11pm

Ordered from Tredz this morning:

Ordered Processing...Est. Dispatch 22/09/20

Are they normally that slow?

Same here, just landed today along with my Penbarras shoes from Sports pursuit.

rushfan · 17-09-2020 9:16am

Not in the post as such, but got a 1000 lumen front light on Fri for the work commute. Tried it out this morning, all good. I only intend using it for the dark, unlit country roads on the run as I have a 400l for the urban sections as such.

ednwireland · 17-09-2020 10:03am

bottles cambleback podiums (damn you bottles thread !)

loyatemu · 17-09-2020 3:09pm

Garmin 130. I've been using my phone to track my rides for the last few years, not really pushed about knowing my current speed but the phone has run out of juice on a couple of longer rides, figured it was time to get a proper computer. plus I like gadgets.

cletus · 19-09-2020 1:23pm

Set of Panaracer Gravelking SK in 700/38

I had considered the 43's, but they seem to roll a bit slower, and I'd like to be able to spin along on the road too.

Thes 38's seem to fit as 40's, so a direct size swap for what's on the bike at the moment

brownian · 21-09-2020 10:30pm

pair of nanoflex armwarmers. And since you're there, a pair of toe covers, and a couple of water bottles.

Feck sake - can't be trusted near a keyboard!

loudymacloud · 22-09-2020 11:20am

Speed and Cadence sensors, few pairs of cleats and a rear light.

and still ricky villa · 22-09-2020 11:27am

New helmet from Muziker (taking a risk?) for the MTB plus a new Garmin mount from Tredz.
New bike = piles of stuff I desperately need to buy

woody1 · 22-09-2020 11:29am

new shorts, gloves and toe covers from galibier just in the door now
cheap ass saver mudguards from amazon to lash on mine and the kids bikes for winter

Same happened to me (after 9 months). Took a pic and mailed it to Wahoo, had a replacement in the post 48hours later.

RurtBeynolds · 01-10-2020 7:57am

Wahoo kickr and Canyon AL 6 Endurace. Birthday presents too myself.

Been riding an old bike off done deal to see if I 'got' into it, with the intention of splashing out for my birthday if I was. With the season changing though decided to go for cheaper bike and kickr instead.

The kickr is in transit but probably wait another month for the bike

Robxxx7 · 01-10-2020 9:11am

I have some See Sense ACE lights on the way, plus some SPD shoes from Decathlon

But also eyeing up a n+1 from canyon

Seth Brundle · 01-10-2020 3:05pm

Just received my toe covers, oversocks and light winter gloves from Galibier.

Hoping there's a new Cycliq Fly6 in the post as a replacement for mine which seems to be slowly dying (warranty coincidentally expires next week).

Macy0161 · 01-10-2020 6:11pm

New drive belt for my Cyclops Hammer Turbo!

That one was a replacement for one that went after 11 months, the replacement one lasted 21 months so out of warranty.

I have a spare one or two lying around, Garmin and some other brand if you want me to post you one, drop me a PM.

Taxuser1 · 06-10-2020 10:45am

Wahoo Kickr, tv, fan as well as all the building material for a purpose built outdoor pain cave.

Le Col long sleeve jersey. Got a voucher from a Strava challenge and there’s money in my PayPal account from selling some parts so it’s a good deal. Haven’t got any of their kit yet, but I’ve read good reviews

triggermortis · 16-10-2020 1:48pm

My Le Col jersey arrived and I’m very impressed. Even the packaging was nice.
Can’t wait to wear it now..

secman · 16-10-2020 1:53pm

Muc off power washer and cleaning kit

brownian · 16-10-2020 2:42pm

Pair of Pirelli tyres, as they are meant to be easier to get on and off than Contis. I spent far too long in the last week, wrestling GP4000s and (esp) 5000s off and onto carbon rims. Will keep the Contis for alloy wheels, where I am less bothered about using brute force and ignorance.

The 'premium cycling gear' habit is a lifelong expense. Be warned.
