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.

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.

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!

(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 :-).
