Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

Just bought the wire cutters!!!

please report back - I thought Ribble had given up on "bits" a few years ago when it entered the world of "signature fragrances".
Not sure I like the look of the chain whip, despite the stars i can see on the reviews- puts me in mind of something cheap I bought once where the plastic handle just slid off the body.

I've picked up the Ribble Cable Cutters as well, should arrive today just in time to change all the cables on an old bike I recently acquired, once I've used them a bit I'll let you know if they're any good, they're the cheapest I found online.

Afternoon update: received my ribble cable cutters earlier and just used them to change both the brake and gear cables and housings on my bike, can confirm they cut both really well and don't crush the housing so well worth 6 quid

I love mine. They seem to be almost as good as park tool for a fraction of the cost.

I've just bought the chain whip and another chain breaker. I suspect Ribble are getting out of the tools business so I'd just order one now if you need them.

Bike camera for £70.00. I think it is a genuine price reduction as looks to be on Amazon for >£100 and sell on eBay for >£50.

I don't know how anyone can feck-up a chain whip. It's about the only tool I'd be happy to make at home if I really had to!

absolute bargain, but my thigh is 26", so no chance of squeezing into 26" waist!

I know someone posted above but there's a few more discounts with Galibier....I wouldn't normally promote someone or something unless I thought they were good....they are 😁

Typical Italian sizing. I’ve noticed it has started to creep into mens casual wear too. I can no longer be sure I’m a size small (38” chest) or a medium trouser (34” waist).

though tend to think of myself as a "medium" person I take a Large in Altura tops/jackets.
Fair to assume that it would be the same for Galibier?
I know some folks rate the Mistral jacket.

@Petrichorwheels - I find they're OK for sizing, but then I'm a size Small with Galibier, son no. 2's an Extra Small. Medium/Large may be different. And yes, the Mistral jacket's good if a little bulkier than Gore's expensive alternative.

I would say size up. I would consider myself medium in the likes of Endura gear, large in Altura, XL in Castelli. I bought the Galibier track jacket a few months back in a large and I couldn't have went smaller. Cracking jacket by the way.

If found Galibier pretty true to size....they'll exchange anything no quibbles if not right.
