Got a total of £100 CRC vouchers for my bday...but totally stuck on what to buy. My bikes are pretty much ideal...apart from them being 26".

I could upgrade from SLX brakes to XT on one bike...but they're intrinsically the same.

Don't really need any clothes apart from maybe a new pair of flats...but not hearing great things about 5:10 impacts.

Would there be any merit in buying some reduced price 650b rims to future proof? Was looking at the spank 295s

Cheers

Save it for when you eventually NEED something.

If you buy something you don't need now, you're guaranteeing that somethign worth just over £100 will break on your bike next week.

Consumables? You'll always needs chains, cassettes, grips and tyres.

Thanks for the replies. Going to wait and put them somewhere safe for a rainy day...although last year I did the same thing and lost them for 2 months, eventually finding them in the bottom of my camelbak?!
