A second pair of Lusso gel bib shorts, as the wife moans about having to wash the one pair everyday at the moment. I have some Assos ones, but these fit me so well, I can handle not being a badge snob for comfort. Also a Park chain cleaner, as being it 'was' dusty, I couldn't be bothered to clean the bikes, just wipe and relube the chains, but after a few rides on the mtb's, the chains were getting gunked and some more Stans , with the luck I have had with flint cuts recently on tyres. Oh and just hit the button on some 'Juicy Lubes' pot of grease for bearings of the 'bay'.

I started out with stabilisers but I've taken them off now.

Though some might say I shouldn't have.

Just googled that, some deal!

[IroningMan]

A 12-30 cassette for those Rule 5 moments.

And because it was cheaper than converting to 11-speed just to go semi-compact.

[Craikeybaby]

Some Oakley Prizm Road Jawbreakers as a present for my best man, who broke his jam mountain biking on my stag do. He had mentioned wanting some Oakleys for road cycling, so it had to be done.

have you got the sensors? I see they are available separately from Mio direct for 50 Euros. The charger is 20 Euros from them, but I expect you can one that will work for much less if you really want to

Ultegra pedals for the winter hack and Continental Comp tub for my faster bike.
