Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

Trying to rationalise my on-bike tools, so bought a Topeak Hexus X multi tool, and a Lifeline stash pack from Wiggle to replace an old Topeak saddle pack which has become a bit scruffy and saggy!

I’ve just bought one of these, the colour may not be everyone’s cup of tea but a Rapha Bar/Frame bag reduced from £50 to £20 plus £5 postage.

A further 15% off this saddle now with code EXTRA15, looks a great buy for £29.74 delivered. https://www.wiggle.co.uk/selle-italia-max-flite-gel-flow-bike-saddle

One of those got passed here around like something NSFW a few years back and it didn't ever get a bum to suit it.

That saddle looked great but didn't fit anyone who tried it.

Vitus were around in the 70s and didn't Sean Kelly win Paris Roubaix, Milan San Remo and multiple consecutive Paris Nices on a Vitus ?

Yes he certainly did. But they eventually shutdown and I believe Chain Reaction bought the brand. Kelly does endorse them, but he’s previously endorsed, among other things, power tools, Spanish soft drinks and Audio cassettes

Vitus are fairly active in the cyclocross scene, at least down south. They have advertising around courses and you see plenty of folks on vitus bikes.

great price for the selle if it suits you, saddles are so subjective

I tried a few brands and models before settling for one that works for me, the SMP VT30C

Stumbled on this [edit, thank you @adamhearn ] expensive but neat hanger alignment tool
Wolf-Tooth-Pack-Hanger-Alignment-Tool
Edit: I think I might self engineer something like this, and keep the spirit level for woodwork. A 'normal' QR axle has the same thread/diameter/pitch and screwing a tube onto the end of a QR skewer seems doable.

Stumbled on this as an inexpensive but neat hanger alignment tool - half price at Tredz

Skip to @6:00 for how it works.

Looks good but it's only the QR adaptor at half price... the kit is RRP at £84 - seems quite pricey for a couple of threaded bars!

I bought one of these the other week and used it for the first time last night. Very pleased with the extra visibility provided by the built-in lights. In the reviews, some people comment on the sizing being a bit odd, but I have a Tefal chrome dome and it seems to fit me fine.

SX Mech's aren't the best but can be replaced with Deore

 

[vickster]

Just picked up one of these for the Brompton…made all the better that Halfords had kindly sent me a £5 off voucher to entice me back

Looking for something else, I saw this Castelli jacket from Merlin. Small only. Sadly, I have never been small!
