i bought a ton of stuff online Monday and Tuesday, i knew there would be good deals, and i took advantage of that. stocked up on consumables, got some nice tires and chains which will last me through the season. i'm mainly a roadie, and i like to ride the best clincher tires out there, vittoria open corsas or veloflex corsas, usually very pricey, but catch a good sale, and they are easily affordable. chains and tubes - i like to have a stock of them for when i need them, it just makes good sense to buy them on sale.
