The "what bike bits have you just bought" thread Vol 2

[Mastodon2]

Just got a new set of Shimano SPD pedals and some Swissstop brake pads for carbon wheels for my time trial bike. I also got some arm and leg warmers to help squeeze in a few late and early season runs. I decided against getting full on winter kit as I won't bother going out when it's really cold.

Got some more CDC stuff in a basket. And some PNS in another.

Trying to justify one or other to myself...

Assos Mille GT Evo jacket and Shimano MW7 Goretex Boots for winter. Very impressed with both so far.

We've just had a pump track open 10 min drive from us...

So had to be done. Early Christmas present for my son and I to share.

Anyone run Zipp 303s. Those or light bycicle ar46 are on my shopping list.

Bought a set of Boardman Hybrid Team pedals for using over the winter on the winter/gravel bike.

Only used a few times so far but I’m liking them, also impressed how grippy they are with Shimano SPD shoes on the non-cleated side.

Bit of a fail today. New wheels are a bh to seal tubeless. Leaving them in the house to warm up try again later. Massively wider and can’t wait to try them out.

PH sticker for my top tube. I asked Niel at the Epicstickers Ebay shop if he could reduce the smiley to 30mm (instead of 50mm) and he was happy to help (with a few caveats stated about the stickers being difficult to apply and stick as some segments are so small)

Before applying I cleaned the area with a microfiber and isopropyl alcohol.

After making only the first 300 yards on the 25 miler today over the hills - I’ve bought a replacement shifter.
