Won a photo competition last year - finally got the voucher through! Wahey. Now what to spend it on.

Want to do a combination of maintenance parts and nice bits. Possibly upgrading from SRAM x-9 shifters to X0 gripshifts as I am not sure I like the X9's..... Plus am a bit of a weight weenie.
Open to suggestions.

Mmm, this must be the adult equivalent of a kid in a candy store.

And you'll get £20 discount with the current deal - and I guess automatically become a platinum member and get a 12% discount for the next year on everything else too. Fill yer boots - and quit with the gloating! 😆

What a cool way to spend a rainy Saturday! What was the photo of?

Competition was run by Hampshre County Council and the brief was "cycling is fun"
Not one of my best cycling pictures but is fulfils the brief.

My local Halfords has a set of boxed Sram XO gripshifts in the bargain bin for £20. They seemed to be the carbon (look? not real?) ones but i don't have any sram bits so don't know much about them.

blimey Mr Tall, I'd buy them even if I didn't use the stuff !
(I do use the front one as grippyshift but not the back)

Don't think so... It was a candid shot, just took some pictures of people riding round the forest trails and if they turned out nice asked them if they minded me entering the pics in the competition.
