Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

[Tenacious Sloth]

Spotted some Crivit ski trousers in Lidl's remainder bargain bucket for £3 a pair. They did a fine job of cushioning the bottles of Proper Job in my shopping bag. Tried them on as soon as I got home and had to take them off again after a few minutes as they were making me too hot. What kind of idiot buys padded thermal strides in the last few days of April, you may wonder? Well, the kind of idiot who spends a lot of time outdoors, and is pre-empting the few bitterly cold weeks we get pretty much every year, and would rather pay £3 a pop than the normal £17, that's who.
And yes, I do often buy my Christmas cards and wrapping paper in January too....

They’ll also come in handy when you spend Christmas in St. Moritz.

No chance of that, not my cup of tea anyway.

On the subject of bargains I managed to grab one of the last remaining "Lidlman" multi-tools during my latest shop. A bit like a Leatherman, only at Lidl prices. Can't go wrong for a fiver, but sadly not even that bargain price was cheap enough to deter all the shoplifters who pilfered their tools and left the empty packaging on the shelf!

By the look of the weather forecast a full dry suit will be more appropriate🏊‍♀️

Probikekit.co.uk have some good bank holiday discounts

Thought this is quite good value, a torque wrench and work stand for 50 quid:

Wiggle have reduced the prices on some of their tyres. Sorted by price, low to high:

Edit: Looks like some Triathlon gear reduced at Wiggle too. I won't put individual links though as I don't know if it's good value; I am unlikely to be doing a triathlon anytime soon.

Odd. Some good prices there, but the badic Lifeline Essential road tyre has gone up by two quid since I bought mine a couple of days ago...

Planet X have a bundle sale of bike maintenance stand plus torque wrench for 50 quid (56.99 when you factor in the delivery cost).

Lots in stock they write. I bought one so will be able to report on quality.

The torque wrench won't do your cassette though (if you use one for cassette)

Aldi are selling their cycling stand which looks pretty similar to the Planet X one for £19.99 from the 16th May.

Speaking of, I read somewhere about a Russian supermarket to come to the uk supposedly 1/3 cheaper than aldi. What's next? A place that will pay us to get their stuff?

That's a bummer, how many NM do you need for a cassette?

Called Svetofor in Russia, but Mere in Europe so we'll get that name as well: https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/life/1433350/russian-supermarket-aldi-lidl-cheap-open-uk-latest

They're picking up some of the redundant Nisa locations from Sainsbury's failed attempt.

Usually about 40nm, it usually says the torque on the lock ring.
