Over half way through the year and so far I've only bought

[clubby]

Did a lot of wheeling and dealing last year, so was determined to buy only the essentials this year. Was on eBay for a non bike related purchase and noticed very little money left in my PayPal, so I totted up what "essentials" I'd bought so far this year.

1 pair of grips, tubeless repair kit, 11spd quicklinks, 4 sets of brake pads, chain degreaser and lube, matte carbon frame cleaner, shock volume spacers, new knee pads, riding t-shirt, 2 pairs of gloves and 3 spokes.

Apart from the knee pads (which replaced a 7 year old, well used pair) nothing cost more than £30, but it still adds up to a decent amount.

What have you bought this year and do you dare tot it all up?

Re:

It's August so I've no recollection of what I've bought so far in 2017!! (A subconscious mental block I think ).

Recently bought a new 11 speed chain.

And an old road bike.

So yeah, just the essentials... :facepalm:
