Maybe not a bargain but good for the price I think/perfectly good enough for most things if you are looking for a set - ball-ends as well I think - I have a set which came from here or Lidl I think a while ago.

cheap Allen keys - no no no

I know what you mean about the dangers of cheap/poor tools but I have no reason to think that there's anything wrong with them. I also have a Pedros set and for all I know these Aldi ones are functionally just as good and I have no reason t think they will damage your bike or its bits. I think they probably carry that German quality mark - forgotten the name of it.

Bike shops are of course full of cheap stuff branded for brand whores and sold dear - water bottle holders and a fair few other things come to mind.

in the Rapha sale they've knocked the softshell gilet down to 90 quid from 150. Wish I had the spare cash for one, they're really nice

After being on rides where chain tools have been required twice in the last sixmonths or so I thought I better get a new multitool incorporating a chain splitter. Just bought one of these multitools, which at £5.99 is about half what you would pay for a nasty Tescos own brand. It is very compact and seems pretty well built. Bargain

Looks very like one I bought from the Edinburgh Bike Co-op for around £15 just before Christmas. It's a fairly common sort of design I think. I commented to the chap in the shop that it looked similar to a Lezyne one and he said that those were made in a special way - kind of straight of him. All are very probably good enough for the job though. Like my Edinburgh Bike Co-op one it doesn't seem to have the link loosening thing but mine is a spare - not a must.

£25 for a decent pair of shorts. Ok the teams are a bit iffy (I think they bought a job lot of shorts years ago) but the quality is good, at least on the pair I got.

and the Rapha trousers at 50 quid quite tempting that

 

[ceepeebee]

My size in the gilet just sold out, can stop trying to find the cash....

I returned a pair of the trousers a while ago, they came up ridiculously small, and were really rough on the inside of the waist band

 

[musa]

Oh really,well I'll pass on that then I suppose

 

[ceepeebee]

Not many sizes either. Softshellntrousers aren't a bad deal at 75

 

[musa]

28 waist...thats been there for quite a while....I have got their pro team cross kit ....waiting for summer to come by

Anyone wanting a high quality light weight longer length easy inflate aluminium pump, the Topeak Master Blaster is certainly a must buy at £9.50 deld.
It has a mounting bracket if you don't have a pannier bag. And those £11 frame pumps look another good buy.

Topeak, to me only do very top quality stuff, at least with regard to pumps.
