Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

motorcycles do [catch fire]

Yes but most garages/workshops don't have any motorcycles in them!

(thinking back to my fire marshal training … ) I'd say extinguishers aren't a Should or Must in any domestic setting. UNLESS you have risk items, or are doing Risky Things (e.g. with flames ). Another factor would be whether your garage is part of your house i.e. if it's detached then there is much reduced risk to life (of course cherished bicycles also come into this … )

It's illegal to store certain quantities of most flammable liquids etc, so it's just a few people who are legally storing enough flammables to justify an extinguisher. But having one won't do any harm!

When did your bicycle last catch fire?

Over enthusiastic turbo session. Shorts set alight.

Yeah, I was thinking "pants on fire" when I read your post, too!

My garage comes straight off the house and I use it as a workshop and a motorcycle is stored there, so a fire extinguisher is a sensible precaution

Apparently, old fire extinguishers make good tubeless tyre inflators when modified slightly.

Just waiting for the epoxy to set on the one I am making, it is an older type with the a schrader air valve already fitted

Done, and safe range 10 bar, buy 2 at that price and let the rest of the family practice outside, they probably have never used a fire extinguisher, panic stations is not the time to learn.

Here you go. Loads of cheap Sugoi stuff at Sports Direct. Also on the House of Fraser website. Only smaller or larger sizes left mostly, and you have to stomach lining the pockets of the deeply unpleasant Mike Ashley, but some good reductions. Haven't bought any Sugoi stuff so don't know if it is any good or how the sizes are.

I have the Versa jacket which has detachable arms to turn it into a gilet (they are held on with magnets, fairly lightweight shell fabric). Also the RS180 jacket which is a standard windproof softshell. Pretty good value at those prices

Not a bargain as such, but earlier today I was looking at a Jersey on Prendas website, added it to my basket, but never actually bought it. A couple of hours later an add for Prendas pops up on Facebook with a 10% off code. Looks like I will be buying that new jersey now Worth a try if you're looking to buy anything from them

@AuroraSaab - the Sugoi stuff is good. I'm guessing that's from Evans Cycles stock?

However he's also got some Radial Cycles items. I wondered where they'd gone to as everything's 'out of stock' and it looks like his company's bought their items up as well

Yes, it will be I suppose. I do remember some cheap Sugoi stuff on Evan's site but don't recall it being quite as cheap. You can click and collect for free still at Evan's I think though, whereas SD charge a fiver for delivery to store but give you a £5 shop voucher. It does look good quality and I would have bought a few bits but I am trying to economise and I could easily end up with more cycling clothes than I will ever use I reckon.
