Help me spend $600
With all the stress of packing up the apartment and getting ready for my 3000 mile tour in three weeks, there are a few things I really need to get done this week. So, I need some opinions on what to buy.
1. I need a new chain. 9-speed cassette
2. I need a new rear wheel (looking to get a mavic A719)
3. New tires would be nice (was thinking specialized armadillo)
4. Front rack
5. Panniers - entire set. (was looking at the lone peak sets on ebay)
So yeah, I need all of these things, yet I only have $600 for equipment left.
