We all start somewhere. Have fun and enjoy the ride!0 -
Also a newbie, bought Ergon grips for my MTB and a Camelbak....well, technically the camelbak makes me look better, not the bike, but I look better on the bike
New saddle is next. 0 -
We're ultra simplistic riders on relatively crappy bikes (and we ride in relatively crappy areas) so all I've got are medium sized grips and a phone holder (pretty handy, though: http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/e04d/).
Next up is for our cars - either a hitch or roof rack (maybe one each) for carrying them around..0 -
Nice, that's pretty much what I've been looking for - how's the glare off the clear plastic part?0

BTW loving the Adamo Prologue. Totally fixed my saddle issues. :drinker:
Thinking about picking up a set of 60/90 Flo clinchers. Maybe a wheelbuilder cover for the rear.0 -
I passed an Aldi on Sunday and thought, hmmmm, I wonder...
Yay! I got some Aldi (Crane) Arm and Leg warmers
Wonder when Lidl are going to release their cycling stuff again???0 -
Well - a couple of weeks ago, I bought a pair of Sidi's and a pair of cleats to go with them. When the box came in the post it turned out that the chap who'd picked the order had sent a BOX of the shimano cleats (i.e. 10 pairs) not a pair of 'em. So, being the nice honest person I am, I contacted customer support and told them of the problem. They were very apologetic, grateful, and helpful - arranging collection of the surplus kit at a time and date to suit me, and - bless them - they sent me a £30 "voucher" as a thank you/honesty pressie. So - as I'd just had a somewhat chilly ride that day, where my arm warmers from last year were continually falling down (guess they must have stretched out a bit, and now i'm a little leaner, as with most of my winter kit, they're too big!) I decided to splurge a little - so rather than the DHB's I was going to get, I picked up a pait of Castelli Nanoflex armwarmers for the grand sum of £2 and being honest! And, I have to say, they're rather nice too!0

I bought some nice new cycling shorts and a pair of warm weather gloves the other day...0

You big spender you ;-) !!!
Very honest of you to send back the over-order of the SPD cleats, and nice to know they rewarded that honesty!
The Aldi kit I bought is, on the whole, very good. Except the winter cycling top makes me look like something from the original Star Trek series (I kid you not) and is a little big on me despite me going for a size down from what I am, no ways am I a small !!! But, it was hidden under my Altura night-vision jacket so I can cope with that. The waterproof trousers are great, for only a tenner they are a lot better than the overtrousers I had before which came right up to my chest, a la Simon Cowell !!! Not tried the arm & leg warmers yet, or the compression undergarments as it's not been that cold since I got the stuff, even first thing!!!0 -
there's no way I'd have spent £32 on a pair of armwarmers, but with the "voucher" I thought why the heck not...:shrug:0

Winter Wheels Sorted - I've got a perfectly serviceable shimano front wheel (think its whatever the 105 series "system wheel" was maybe 4 years ago) that survived when it's rear-wheel rolling mate died, so I've just ordered a RS20 rear wheel to go with it. Should mean I can keep the Ultegra Hoops for "summer best" - i.e. keep them out of the mud, salt and gloop for 6 months a year...
Think it's going to be an expensive winter season - all my cold weather gear no longer fits, and i'm thinking seriously of building something new for the 2013 season. Just need to decide what I really want as the initial chassis 0 -
Some new gloves for the winter season.

Been a while for me, but I got a bike rack for the car last spring. Helped so much this past summer! And before that I got a road tire for my rear to use on the trainer last winter. Knobby's on a trainer are FRICKIN' LOUD!
I don't get much for the bike, I just ride it. Stuff costs money. I don't have that.0 -
Just got a set of mountain bike(monstercross) tires, Kenda Karma ...700x50 (29x1.9)
Mounted very nice, fits my Crosscheck fork nicely, fits the frame ok, had to pull the wheel as far back in the dropouts as possible....They look very large on a road/cross/commute frame. I like them.0
