Got a coupe of bits to almost finish the winter HT build.
Lifeline lock on grips.
BX bar ends. Don't judge me!
What about you?
A couple of rotors for the new wheels i got.....and maybe a tyre too in a day or so
Just consumable stuff - cassette, fork seals and a couple of chainrings.
And another enduroguard. Nothing says winter like a mudguard and consumables.
Trickstuff Maxima brakes
Custom carbon cranks for a pinion gearbox
This can’t continue...
It was meant to be a new saddle and grips.
But LBS had no saddles in stock, and one pair of grips at £36!
So no purchase.
Just fitted a 13-29 cassette & chain to my road bike to replace a 12-25. I tried it for the first time today. Not only have I got rid of the dodgy shifts but some of the nasty hills seem to have been flattened out a bit since the weekend.
And I am reminded just how lovely Record 10 speed is.
Quite a lot of bits that appear to be bolted together.

Bet you are itching to get your hands on both of those!
Yeah, but patience is a great virtue (hope to have them both by early April...)
Some consumables to replace stuff I've used up in recent weeks: a couple of sets of brake pads for the road bike and a 10spd chain - all but one of my bikes are 10spd so having one around is useful.
Some Schwalbe Fat Franks for the Soul. Because it's going to be a wee while before I can ride it offroad so I might as well have a bit of fun in the meantime, and I figure more tyre might be good for commuting while I rehab my wrist.
Somehow this nice cheap idea nearly ended with my buying a new Bfe26, but I resisted.
Still resisting
Some (a pack of 100) Sapim brass nipples so I can rebuild both wheels.
timber bell.
pretty crap compared to my ti spurcycle
Garmin Edge 130 to replace my 5 year old Edge 200. The old one worked fine but firing up an ancient laptop just to downloads rides was becoming a chore. The added benefit of live segments is nice!
SRAM Rival brake pads from Discobrakes.
Not very exciting.
But saving and looking out for some new gravel wheels. Hunts would be nice. But open to anything (almost) as good.
(Stealth Wanted Ad) 😏
DHF 2.6 WT because I'm so on trend.
Some ergon gs2's (with bar ends!) and a slightly longer 60mm stem to use with my bikepacking setup.
Just taken delivery of some finishing kit for new winter road bike, fluoro yellow Lizard Skins 3.2mm bar tape and fluoro yellow Elite bottle cage.
Technically ordered them in 2018 though so only 2019 purchase has been a PDW z-bracket to attempt some bodging with the mudguards to gain some precious extra clearance. I win most exciting purchase so far!
4x 7902 RS
Two pairs of brake pads
Not very exciting.
Some Thomson dirt drops and a stem on new years eve if that counts. And I ordered some mudguards about an hour ago.
A pair of Maxxis Mud Wrestlers and a 34T 110BCD inner chainring ready for Sundays Jennride. Tyres set up tubeless and chainring fitted today.
Accidentally bought myself a cheap P7 29er on Christmas Eve so no 2019 purchases coming my way for a while.
Saying that, I do some more tubeless valves...
a set of those new zero rise Renthal bars
Got a rockshox twist grip lockout thingy on the way after my poploc died- interested to see how it goes
2 x Vittoria Rubino tyres
Mavic overshoes
Morgan blue Bum cream
High5 zero tabs
Deda Bar Tape
White Lightning lube
2 x conti supersonic road tubes
Carnac Oura glasses
PX LS base Layer
Brkio evo fingerless mitts
AGU trail glove
Carnac Roubaix gloves
PowerRace Hydrophobic glasses
On One Helmet in neon Yellow
Not strictly a bike part but a new helmet. Seeing as I destroyed my last one and helmet light mount on the last ride of 2018 when I attacked a low branch with my head.
New one doesn't match my bike as well.
The Ibis Mojo that was in the classifieds when the Mrs finds out this might be my last ever message !!
Zee brakes ordered from the LBS for my fat bike. Couldn’t justify £100 more for hopes.
Flinger mudguards for the gravel bike.
Exposure Diablo (from the Millets PSA)
Redeye micro to go on the Diablo
Oakley flak jackets (broke my others the other week)
Topeak shock pump in the classifieds
I've hovered over some Hunt wheels for the road bike but so far I'm resisting..
KMC 11.93 £14.90 👌
Planet-x random box-o' reduced bits:
4 rims, 6 inner tubes, 5 tyres, 2 baselayers, err ....
all for a hundred-odd quid
There is literally nothing I need.
But....here I am pricing up flights and accommodation in Whistler.
Shimano bottom bracket to replace the existing one in my Solaris that seems to have partially seized
Pair of tyres to replace the worn out ones on the winter bike - Yawn
Replacement gauge for the borked on on my track pump - Yaaaaaaawn
A set of 29er 36 performance elite 160mm forks for the stumpy. 32% off at £699.
Couldnt resist.
Oneup Components ISCG5 Bash Guide.
Adidas Terrex Cross Trails
On One Chunky Monkey / Smogasbord (for the spring / summer on the hardtail - at £15.99 and £17.99 I couldn’t resist!)
Planet X side loading water bottle cage and anodised red bolts to bolt it on with
Garmin Edge 520. Have an 810,a 500 and a 200. The 500 is loaned out it I really need IQ Connect for a project. I so wanted the 130 but it doesn’t do activity profiles and I have a few on the 810, probably it’s most useful feature. I don’t use navigation beyond bredcrumb trails.
Some Squirt chain lube, a pair of gloves and leg warmers.
A hope light clamp for my bikehut light.
Some rigid forks to turn my 26er HT into a commuter. Thinking either Surly or Salsa hoping some will come up cheap on ebay.
Unfortunately for my bank balance, my first 2019 purchase was a Carbon S works coil stumpjumper.
Fortunately for me, there was still some upgrading to be done, so it's been a busy few days for the credit card since Jan 1st.
This thread is nothing without photos!
Some Hope Tech3 E4 brakes in Irn Bru 🙂
Orange Hope headset and bottom bracket for the Vanquish using the ebay 15% off. Just got to wait for the perfectly good parts already fitted to wear out 🙁🙁
Set of Superstar V6 hubs with 29" Flows for the Solaris. Just got to choose a 2.6 tyre for the front now..
Some bearing removal/install tools and bearings for the Mega and a couple of those bikeyoke Willie's.......
Nothing yet, waiting on either a set of Marzocchi lowers or long travel 1 1/8 forks to turn up at a sensible price. Once I have the forks sorted I can worry about wheels.
No spending here until I do my tax return in April, then it will be a custom build with DVO forks and plenty of XTR being purchased.
Sram XG1175 cassette for the Trek, x01 died after 4500miles.
Enduro will need a new drivetrain and a new pair of rims soonish.
Reaching here, but my van transports my bike... so my first purchase was £150 for some rewiring and a fuel pump relay.
All because a bodger had stuffed a new wire in and not removed the old corroded length!
Breaking down at a pump track an hour away from home on the 1st of Jan wasn't the ideal start to the year 🙂
Bits for the spare back wheel for the Cotic, an Arch MK3 28h rim and matching Pro 4 hub, got the Sapim spokes before Crimbo. Next step is to drop them off with a mate to build them up. Same setup as I have on the T130, so can just swap the front wheel between bikes for now rather than both. Might build a front up as well down the line but it's not needed atm.
After that it'll be a fresh round of 7Mesh riding gear, they've finally bought out a decent looking windproof gilet and I've been hovering around their Guardian jacket for a while. Have been living in their Revo shorts this winter so seems sensible to get a jacket to go with them!
A visit to the Physio confirmed a ‘bad’ Grade II AC separation from a crash on Saturday, so my first purchase of the year will be a turbo trainer 🙁
Pet Dryer.... now actually Bike dryer 🙂
Lightly used RS81 wheels off ebay, after my rear got run over by a motorbike.
May just be consumables for the rest of the year though.
Or it may not.
Really boring, but I noticed that my Shimano road cleats were getting a bit shabby so ordered a new pair for myself and a spare set of Look Keos for my son as I'm sure that his will be no better.
Also, a set of these:
...for a used bike I bought before xmas that has 53/39 on it - something that I couldn't get up the hills around here with!
The most boring! A mini pump from Velochampion. Lost my Lezyne, (that I've had ever since they came out) over Christmas, but I think I've used it about 3 times (tubeless=no punctures), so bought a cheapo replacement.
Oh yeah, Superstar EVO pedals turned up yesterday. They look good, once I'd screwed all those pins in.
a few minutes ago...
45nrth flowbeist 26x4.6
45nrth dunderbeist 26x4.6
and ...
PARKTOOL SPK-1
latter is a birthday gift for a mates 60th birthday..
One Ass Saver, 2 multi-tools and a saddle bag - getting all my bikes/bags sorted with tools and puncture repair kits etc, so whatever I grab, I've got stuff with me for emergencies! 4 bikes , 2 rucsacks, 2 saddle bags meant a lot of swapping things over which was a PITA....
bike hut front light, my 2007 Exposure joystick just wasn't cutting it anymore! And some race matrix pads, the reviews from this place sounded very promising but as I've only moved to disc brakes in the last 2 months anything is an improvement and I'm hoping I might get a little while longer out of the OEM set...
some sealant. been so long since i rode my bike the sealant has dried up and the front tyre isnt holding air.
Stooge Mk4 & Stooge Klunker bars.
Now for the 5 month wait..
Really exciting I know but 2x tubes to fit the soon to be arriving wagon wheels.
Brand x ascend dropper post to replace a crappy giant one, hope it fares better and the "coating" doesn't wear off the stantion.
Some pink grips and tassels to go #2's 'birthday bike'
One of the E Thirteen ratchets to convert my XX1 shifter from 11 speed to 12 speed. Only cost £20 and since I need a new cassette and chain anyway soon thought I'd get a bonus cog.
One of the E Thirteen ratchets to convert my XX1 shifter from 11 speed to 12 speed.
That's rather cool! Didn't know these existed.
I'm a Shimano man. Shame there's no aftermarket equivalent for other shifters. Could mean one shifter and you upgrade/change as you go..
Unfortunately the Shimano shifters seem a lot more complicated inside the Sram ones (I can't believe the Sram ones cost so much when I've been inside them - they're just some scraps of cheap plastic). I don't think anyone will be launching a kit any time soon for Shimano.
Nothing. Might buy some brake pads sometime around August.
Am looking for a cheap second hand 120-150mm 26" full sus frame to transfer parts from a bike I'm not using over to instead of selling for pennies though.
If only there were a decent busy useable classifieds here 😉
MTB Beds Finale holiday paid for. Fox 36 Coil conversion kit next month. Then a new jump bike frame for May. Nice to plan.
Mudguards, you can thank me for the dry weather.
32 tooth chainring to replace the 34 which im currently not fit enough for

Skinwalls for the plug. Wondering if They are going to be as good as they sound (on one Jack Brown mile muncher at £17.99 each)
Stocking back up whilst the sales are on
2 sets of headset bearings
4 Butcher Blck Dmnds
An Endura Singletrack jacket for me and a Scott Scale jnr for the eldest. Might not be any purchases for a while now...
Not glamorous, but a pair of Clarks M3 brakes for the bike I’m building up on the cheap.
Dropper next, Brand-X?
a £5 multitool from Halfrauds . 15 tools in 1 with a chain splitter built in.
How good it will be only a broken chain will tell
Minion DHF to replace the HRII
Cokie what colour stooge. So tempted
I've been ordering stuff daily for a couple of new bike builds since Christmas, usually do this time of year. Each day it's like future me receiving presents from past me! Last year I managed to get a bike part delivery every working day in January bar one, though I'm not trying to beat it this year... First 2019 purchase was Forks, first delivery was spokes!
@ matt_outandabout
(Shameless ad coming your way).
I've got a almost new San Marco Dirty TR Dynamic saddle for sale. I'm not far from you :-).
