  • Repeat Purchases – What do you buy over and over again?

    In terms of bike stuff, not stuff you buy in the supermarket, that’d get a bit dull ..
    If you buy bike stuff in a supermarket on the other hand ..

    I tend to or have tended to buy something different whenever I’ve bought another of something mostly either because the previous thing wasn’t right or I wanted to try something else

    Some stuff I’ve ended up just repeat purchasing with little thought like:
    -ODI Rogue grips
    -Superstar brake pads (yes really)
    -Shimano M520 SPDs

    EA70 Monkey bars, SDG Belair saddles, Thomson posts and stems, Michelin tubes. Lost count of how many ive bought and sold. Just standard, great for the money, should come specced on all new bikes.

    Things I’ve bought repeatedly at the moment are:

    Sunline V2 bars
    Shimano LX brakes
    LX rear mechs
    Deore shifters.

    Had that setup on the front of one bike, thought if felt nice, so bought the same for the hardtail….

    Nearly all the things I used to buy without thinking, I’ve been questioning recently.

    Flite Saddles? They’ve changed the design, but the new one’s ok.
    SRAM chains? I keep breaking powerlinks but, grudgingly, they still seem like the best choice
    Conti tyres? Changing tyres around doesn’t need further explanation.
    FSA headsets? Hope have split crown race and work really well for me
    Specialized gloves? BG gel doesn’t seem to make much difference so I get anything that feels comfy
    Specialized shoes? The new ones soles crack in < 1 year for me, so I may go Shimano

    Doesn’t leave a lot.

    Park pre-glued patches and Hope hubs are about it.

    Have people not realised that shimano chains last loads longer than SRAM ones, thus having to buy less?
