In Priscilla's case, she wore out her mid chain ring, cassette and chain in 8 months! What can I say, the girl is hardcore!

Other than that, I haven't made any big purchases for a while. I have a big bulk thing of Finishline lube and degreaser. Strangely enough, my MTB is still rocking the original OEM tubes after a year now, although I have gone through a set of tires. I don't fear the flat gods though as I have been cursed with many many flats on my road bike. Avoid at all costs the Specialized All Condition tire. For a nasty wire bead training tire, it has about as much flat protection as a stick of butter, and my road conditions are pretty good. Too cheap to replace them though, as my Cannondale Rush gets all the good stuff. I also patch tires at home so I don't buy too many tubes. I basically switch between a couple tubes that have 2 - 3 patches each. I have never had one fail, even the cheap glueless kind (although I prefer the gluded ones). Sit in front of the TV, and have at it! I love buying tires…I also replace shift housing pretty reguarily. Other than that, I haven’t made any big purchases for a while.
