Westbrook Cycles have some Solo items on sale - but remaining sizes may be a problem.
It's good quality kit.

Great company Westbrook, based in Stokesley. If they don’t have the item you want on line they can often source it from their supplier and add it online just for you to buy.
Just need to give them a ring or Facebook message.

Avoid - had one, gauge went faulty - did not realise and result was an exploding slime filled inner tube.

I second that as I never found their pumps reliable.

It is narrower than the Brompton bag and so less wind resistance and it is a fraction of the price. The only downside is that this one is semi open top so has to be covered when raining. I have a small rucsack cover which fits in a front pocket and is pulled back over when needed. The bag is mounted on the normal Brompton carrier with a slight adaptation. The bag is out in the car currently or I would put up a pic.
I also have a Brompton bag which is bigger and wider but this is only used if I am away overnight and need more capacity.

Not terribly clear but the top is attached by a couple of jubilee clips.

If anyone bought one of the last Rapha.cc handlebar bags earlier this year when they were on offer (now out of stock) for £35, you can sell them on ebay for triple the money you bought it!

I bought the 130 a couple of years back for commuting and because of its ability to pick up sensors; its a great wee unit you've got it at a great price

Right.. what I don't like about the 130 is that the battery life is pants compared to the 200. The 200 used to last me a dull weeks commute and a bit. a good 13+ hours. The 130 conked out on me on this mornings commute, so just over 10 hours.
I suppose it's all the extra gubbins like bluetooth uploading etc that drains the battery more.

My 130 when it was new was great (not as good as the 200 though) but after a few updates it power level bar was terrible. You'd charge it up to 100 % switch it off over night and it would be down a bar or two. Then on the ride it would sync by bluetooth and go up a bar It'll last my weekly commutes but that's sub 10h but I often download and charge between then. My old phone had pants bluetooth and it often would't sync, so I got in the habit of that

Some Muc Off reductions at Halfords, including 5 litres of nano tech bike cleaner for £16.63. Might be the same price at Amazon atm as they often price match.

https://www.halfords.com/search?q=Muc+off

Tweeks have the Muc Off motorbike cleaner at £25 for 2 x 5 litres, which seems very cheap. I think we have discussed it before and iirc the conclusion was there would be no reason why this wouldn't be fine for cycles.

Sure someone said on here the actual bike and motorcycle cleaner is identical, just the packaging and usage directions differ.

On degreaser, this stuff comes highly recommended.
It's for grease.

I manage double that. Next week I'm having a go at walking on water then the week after dividing fishes, loaves and hopefully wine and beer. It's fantastic for squieting on the cooker / oven / cleaning the cooker hood and for sqirting on the kitchen floor before mopping for a streak free finish.
