Anyone want to help me spend $50-100 at Nashbar?
Hi everyone, I just put down a deposit for a CAAD10-5 a few days ago. In the meantime, I have a pair of Speedplay Zero pedals coming in as well as a pair of new shoes. I have a POS hand pump from my old bike, as well as a seat bag with basic tools. The bag will definitely be transferred over to the Cannondale. Unfortunately, when I sold the older bike, I had forgotten to take off the magnets for my Cateye computer. So... I am ordering the magnets from Nashbar, but they have free shipping for anything over $50. The magnets cost $6 bucks total. What does everyone feel every cyclist should have at their initial new road bike buy?
Right now my list is as follows but I am not sure exactly what I need:
FYI, I'm coming from a Specialized Hardrock with slicks, so this is my first real road bike. Yay!

- Park Tools Big Blue book
- Genuine Innovations Air Chuck SL and 6 extra cartridges
- Speedplay Coffee Shop Cleat Covers
- Nashbar L'Orange Floor Pump

i dont know what you've got for a helmet, but if you've got a goofy MTB one with a visor, a nice road helmet is a good thing to have.
a good pump is critical, i air up my tires several times a week, and a good pump is waaayyyy better than a POS.
good clothes are everything on a bike, well fitting bibs, jerseys, etc.
you're in boston - do you have a decent cycling jacket, arm warmers, knee warmers, hat, shoe covers?
a good set of gloves goes a long way.
just some thoughts.

This.
If you count EVERY single action I've done with this kit by myself, and convert it into LBS-charges, it has saved me over $1800.
