The official : "what have you bought today" topic

[sanrensho]

The model I had used the previous design, which I believe was similar to the old Garmin 705, & was a slide/clip thing. It was great when new, but after a few weeks it got a little loose and lead to incessant rattling which was very irritating! The first 2 head units I had stopped picking up the satellite signal after a few months(I think the first was 4 months & the second maybe 6/7), and while on the third, the mount snapped and spat the GPS onto the road, killing it. The response from Bryton or the distributor(I'm not sure who was responsible for the warranty) was something between 'not our problem' and 'bugger off'.

Thanks for the info!

A pair of Campagnolo Neutron Ultra's...again. I have a VAR tire lever now and I am confident I can win the tire-mounting-battle this time round.

New ''rain/travel'' bike. At 450$ complete it was a good deal.

Here's how it looks after cleaning it a bit and removing the crappy stuff on it. (tiagra compact crank, stuck seatpost, woman saddle + ripped tape and hoods)
It will need a new rear wheel (cracked). 18lbs as is.

Anyone got a 130bcd Dura-Ace or Ultegra crankset for cheap ?

Seatclamp?

No, Tune now manufactures cockrings to offer speedneedle users the chance to practice intercourse again.
TimmS suffered weakness for machined parts.
Use of torque wrench is advised.

Got my icestripe bracelet (worn by Tinkoff-Saxo rider) in cool neon orange color. I guess it will become for me an obligatory piece of equipment just like a helmet.

Just bought the same bottle. Looks nice and it is BPA free.

Courtesy of our hosts Starbike, an Ultremo tubeless kit. The tyres weigh 288g and 303g, will have to remember to fit the heavier one at the rear assuming I can make this tubeless thing work.

I have one too. About as thermally insulating as a regular bottle, but stiff and not as nice to use. Would not buy again.
