Rubber. Moving to Switzerland early next year so getting it all purchased now while I can still afford it 🙂
Crap £ into Swiss franc is crippling. I also plan to buy a cannondale habit 1 before I go ........ the crap £ rate has just about killed that hope.

New wiper blades and H7 bulbs
This week the postie has bought me a Brightside amber sidelight, which I'll be trying out on tonight's commute home.

Another new rear shock for the Orange Five. Cane Creek DB Air CS this time.
Surly Bud tyre to replace the Jumbo Jim on the fatbike as summer seems to be well and truly over 😳

Hope race brakeset

My fault entirely though.
Some Shimano wet lube. First time I have ever (in 20+ years of biking) emptied a bottle of lube and gone out of my way to order more of the same type.
Lezyne Macro drive 800 - fantastic. Got a smaller all-in-one commuter light that I've used loads, but this one lasts about three times as long on the same power and is barely larger. So much more convenient for travelling and road riding to have a single bar unit and a USB charger.
XT pedals. To replace the XTR that got broke a few months back. Can't afford XTR any more...
It's winter, I try not to buy anything bike related during winter. So I bought this!

Car walked through its mot first time (after a wee bit of effort prior to presenting) so as a reward I ordered a second roll cab(210quid !!) as it was getting cramped in there. 🙂
Bike tools can breathe again 🙂
He also brought a new set of pin punches and a replacement 10mm flex ratchet spanner after mine broke 🙁

Been selling stuff this week and only delivery is a new washing machine as my old one has finally given up.
We have had one of those Karcher mops for a few years after watching how quick you can clean all the floors in a chalet after a week of grubby bikers. They are very good and worth every penny.
Replacing my 31mm with 50mm for more front end grip in the ensuing mudfest:

Thanks Tracey.
Shorty 2.5 WT for the big bike. I do like a new tyre.
Awaiting the postie anxiously now, had an expensive week after deciding my bike isn't going to sell...so I may as well upgrade it! New brakes fitted (purchased from lbs) awaiting sixc cranks and DT Swiss xm1501's! Need to sell some stuff fast as wife will blow her lid when she checks the bank
A Reverb cheap from Wiggle. I don't have a bike that it fits.
An interim cheque for my personal injury claim. Which might get spent answering this question.
http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/another-which-bike-thread
thereby possibly addressing the first, speculative purchase.
Raceface SixC bars from the classifieds here and a Renthal stem, I had to collect the bike myself (and technically that was last week)

Contracts to sign for our new house in the Quantocks. 🙂
TurnerGuy wins most STW photo dump of the week
just moved house as part of the divorce and therefore needed a lot of stuff.
Turner guy - is that Karcher steam mop any good? I fancy one for my stone kitchen floor.
going to try it today - there was so much mould in my new house (got it at a good price, just as well considering the divorce) I have used loads of bottles of HG mould spray and have loads left, but thought the steam cleaner might be a bit better for my health than having the house smell like a swimming pool after a chemical spillage.
Its the SC5 one which is a bit more powerful and allows a jet of hot water as well when needed, and you can buy an iron attachment so can be a backup to my LauraStar iron.
^^^^^ Nah wrong bike the T130 pictured above your post is the new STW Heli taped kitchen ornament/Audi roof rider.
Other than it's not taped, never been indoors, I don't own a Audi and it gets slung in the boot covered in mud your cock on, the only STW stereotype is see is you ya ming mong.
