Birthday gift ideas <$100
Quote | Reply
My birthday is coming up and I have several family members asking me what I want.

Looking for some ideas. I am doing Eagleman (hopefully Covid allows) as my first race in about ten years.

Have Cervelo P2 if that makes a difference in your answer. The only big purchase I have left is race wheels. See my thread from about a month ago that I used to have hed3's. That turned into a nice thread. Lol

So in the under $100 range what should I put on my list. So even think of this as the "best tri things under $100 thread.

Ready....go!

If you need any tool or particularly multi tool... Silca Italian Army Knife.


Tubeless tyres ? Dynaplug tool (either the normal 'pill' or the racer tool).


Both really nice shiny shiny prezzies !

A couple bottles of AMP Human PR Lotion

Expensive stuff but hey, it's a gift, so why not.

I always put nice running shorts / tanks / shirts / socks on my list...stuff that is nicer than I would probably buy for myself, but still coming in at under $100.

Also, if you're in the market for new running shoes, you could ask for a gift certificate to a local running shop to go toward new shoes (same could apply to cycling shoes/gear too).

BTA hydration system is a good one too if you want one but don't have one already (or if you want to upgrade).

Ultrasonic cleaner (~$70) (that plus a $15 crock pot also makes for a chain waxing kit)

Some new Oakleys (I think I paid $108 for my Oakley Portals online)

Magic5 custom goggles (totally unnecessary, but blingy)

+1 on a nice pump (I have a steel barreled Lezyne that is a joy to use compared to my old plastic pump)

Aero calf sleeves (only ~$30-40)

An Eney Buoy ($30), basically the best pest pull buoy out there.

A new HR strap or optical puck (ex. Whaoo Tickr, or Polar OH1+)

I just use a plastic kitchen storage container and mineral spirits to clean my chains. Super cheap!
