The "what bike bits have you just bought" thread

Two spare inner tubes for the fat bike, one good thing, if on a ride I see anyone drowning, quick pump up and I've got a life belt to help them with

It'll be a good workout blowing up those tyres with a weedy pump in your weedy arms Benji.

Had these continental competition tubs fitted to my brand new Planet X rims. Can't wait to try them out. Got a feeling we're gonna get on just fine.

So I could attach my GoPro to my bike and record how badly I rode/unfit I am at Cannock Chase today.

After a puncture this morning, a glue less patch kit (can't believe I didn't have repair kit already) and a couple of spare tubes... i can't complain though, it's the first puncture I've had in two years.

I bought a few of these for a couple of quid each but I never used them in the end, believing the picture would be too shaky. I bought a big clip to attach my GoPro to my Camelbak strap but I haven't tried that yet either.

Have you tried the bike mount?

Decided against the hope dropper clamp and went for the promax, hopefully don't live to regret the decision.

Can't wait for the bits to turn up now

How did you find cannock today? Never seen it with so many closed sections!

It was my first visit, so not sure what it is normally like, but I wasn't keen on the long climb back to FTD from the railway.

I really struggled with fitness today, the reds at Cannock is a lot harder than the red at Sherwood Pines.

Thanks a bunch, Balck can man. Yesterday I vowed to go the whole day today without buying something bike related. I lasted 16 minutes after logging on.

They look good for the £s. If I hadn't recently bought some BBBs, I'd have been on those too.

I've only had a quick look at photos/footage, but it seemed better than from the chest mount, I'll try to get some stuff uploaded later in the week.

Just ordered one of these today, can't wait :-)

Seems to be great value, I wanted to get one last year but they were not available and I was impatient to get a cross bike.

I'm interested in your results. I now have both but due to me being a bit of a wimp this winter, I've not tried either.

Yes, they look to be very good value & get good reviews. It's due mid-March so I'll have to be patient :-(

These finally arrived for me. Shimano r501's.



Now I need to think on whether or not I should buy myself the casette removal tool like this.

Halfords charge £10 to swap them around. Which I am not keen on doing. I can either...

Buy the tool (which means I'd have it for life)
OR
I can go round a friends house to borrow theirs (other side of london however).

I would get it sooner if I buy it. But will have to wait until the weekend if I borrow a friends!
