Its Christmas, so lets treat ourselves to some new bits

[PomBstard]

What items of loveliness for our two-wheeled steeds are we all getting under the auspice of being treated to something for Christmas???

I've just bought myself a new pair of XT pedals and a Thomson Elite seatpost as part of my present to me

So, what else do we all expect?

[WildCards]

I've bought a couple of pairs of shorts and an Enduro Maxx light as my present. Some long leg tights might also need to be purchased if this cold weather perists. All in the name of Santa of course.

Just ordered myself a pair of these:

to go with my V8s Annoyingly, none of my local bike shops stock them and reckon online is the only way so I'm hoping I've ordered the correct size!

I just shod my Supreme with some lovely DT Swiss EX1750 wheels




ooooh, don't forget my fancy wheel bags

[Pablo16v]

I treated myself to a Gravity Dropper seatpost and a pair of Michelin Xtrem tyres. I've also just ordered Earthed 4 and contemplating new winter shoes.

If you've ordered your normal size (as I'd expect!) then you should be fine. They fit me just fine, although bizzarely it's quite a big/thick shoe if that makes sense hence they *look* a little big at times

Money well spent

Oooh very jealous! - I can almost hear my credit card calling to me, they'd look lovely on my Meta.

I actually originally wanted the FR wheels (in red) but I was offered these (only a few came into the country) and was recommended them as better that the FR's - by all accounts the Athertons and other all use these on their FR bikes as they are lighter and just as tough giving better response and acceleration. I've since riden the bike with them, and it is much nicer to handle.

On that recommendation and the fact that they would look better in white on the Supreme than the red, I ordered them.

They simply are beautifully made, and worth the money.

They also would fit my Meta too - and I look forward to swapping them over for the MegaAvalanche next year - Qualify on the Supreme, Race on the Meta...

Just don't ask how much I paid - all I can say is that its very nice to have good friends in the right places

I splashed out on a Mavic Ksyrium ES wheelset (slobber) - should be arriving today

Don't you mean bypassing the friend and going straight to the source???

Looking fecking ace mate. Very jealous.

I'm McSkint this year due to buying an apartment, so no new toys for me. Planning a DH build for Easter time though, and that will be big time pimped... XTR, DTSwiss, Burgtec... mmmm

[WildCards]

Bugger it, I give in, I'm going to treat myself to some of those wheels.

ETA; I should have some by tomorrow. Yay!

Bah! Normally I'm a size 10, but sometimes (depending on who makes the shoe, I'm a size 11). Five Tens come in half sizes so I went with 10.5 which arrived yesterday and are slightly too big So I've just ordered some size 10s now and will send the other ones back. If I'd had to decide between 10 or 11 I'd had gone 10. Dam them for offering too much choice

Well i didnt plan onit but i treated myself to some new pedals today for the hard tail. i bought some Time pedals, sorry i dont know the name of them but they are the ones with a large platform for offroading and cleats for XC.
I will get them on the bike on the weekend.

Merry christmas all.

[anniesdad]

Private physio..

Oh...and I bought a rear LED for £9.99.

[pastrana72]

My Cove HJ is going to have a Raceface Atlas Crankset (offered some tonight) to go with its XO kit, supposed to be a budget build but it rides so good i can not stop buying top kit for it.

Still trying to resist a hustler FS Frame though,

Edit, got them now, with some new saeled pedals to match.



Merry Christmas Everyone.
