The "what bike bits have you just bought" thread

Some DHB full finger road gloves. I'll probably only get a couple of months use out of these now, but I don't think its quite warm enough for short finger gloves yet. Also my Endura and Gore ones are just too warm for the weather now. I'm hoping these will be a happy medium. Only £13 too

Park tools BBT-9
Just need the other parcel containing the groupset to turn up so I've got something to use it on! It's been on the van since Thursday night but didn't turn up on Saturday. Stupid royal mail
Thankfully I didn't take the bike to bits on friday in preparation! would have been stuffed this morning.

Love my Lezyne Track pump - hate the valve adapters they use - tried the Slip Chuck, tried the valve breaking Flip-Thread Chuck - useless. After failing miserably to source a Yoko pump valve from the UK, I've settled for one of these from Active Life Logisitcs - I'll let you know if its as good as they say it is!

Great views from the top , but watch out for the roads, they have actually closed some down round there as they are so pot holed
Well, I think this may have been listed in error - but I've put my order in at this price, just in case. I can't see why they'd offer £225 off a brand new gruppo, but hey - it's a tenner more than I was going to pay for 5700, and gets me an extra cog to play with!

Only downside is, I need to wait for July for it to be delivered...

Neilski which Body Geometry ones are they, there seem to be a few types?
I'm after some new gloves and there can't be a much better recommendation than that!
You should be sponsored by some companies if you're not already.
Presumably he hasn't used the body geo ones much yet so can't really give a review...I'm after some new gloves and there can't be a much better recommendation than that!

but I haven't used them yet. The Assos ones were the ones that came halfway round the world with me but they don't seem to be available in Santiago plus I'm on a bit more of a tight budget these days! £17 for the Specialized ones here.

Many thanks, will get some Assos ordered.
A couple of spare rear mech hangers
I've notices as my bikes get older the obscure spare parts dry up and are almost impossible to buy, so rather than have a bike hanging in the garage broken I am starting to collect a few spare parts that may be difficult to obtain in a few years time

Just ordered a pair of these http://www.wheelsmith.co.uk/race38-c23 ... 38mm carbon clinchers. Large enough profile for some aero benefit ... small enough profile that my Mrs won't notice them on the bike.
