Cheap helmets

No doubt someone will snap them up and put them on ebay. Hope its of use to someone. My black and white one has arrived, nice finish, next day delivery too.

Thanks for posting that Kbrook! :thumbsup:
I ordered one, it arrived very quickly and looks to be a quality bit of kit.
The large size is a good secure fit on my head (which measures just under 60 cm around - checked with a tape measure) in case anyone else it thinking of getting one.
 
For those of us who are vegan/dairy free/gluten free/wheat free/on a raw diet (or those who just like fruit & nut bars when out cycling), Nakd fruit bars are on offer in Waitrose, Tescos and Morrisons at the moment. These being the bars I am talking about. http://www.naturalbalancefoods.co.uk/nakd-fruit-and-nut-bars/

Waitrose have them on offer in the 4 packs only (not sold anywhere near to the singles in my local waitrose, but up in the biscuit isle), buy 2 * packets of 4 for £3.50 which works out at 44p a bar - by far the cheapest around, just don't have my favourite of the cashew nut cookie... :angry:
Morrisons have them on offer in the singles at 50p a pack - my OH picked some up yesterday (my favourite :biggrin:), so offer still there in Warrington/Stockton Heath store.
Tescos have the packets of 4 on offer at 2 for £4 from what I can tell, so also 50p a bar (unilt 5th November).

I bought the trousers in 32" from Rutland's website for £20, p&p free. Worth it for the money.

Dammit - they must have changed their prices as looked on there first and just bought another pair via Ebay & another £2.75 postage. Pretty annoying that they didn't combine postage for the shirt & trousers I bought at the same time.

Anyway - the trousers seem fantastic quality even as non cycling trousers they are very smart. Sizing is spot on. Haven't a clue how durable they are but FYI similar trousers with the same tech would cost probably £150+ from Rapha and £60+ from other brands.

Just seen these Smart Mini lights £2.99 + £2.49 delivery or free over £20 http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/LISMRTMINI/smart_mini_led_light_set
from Bikeradar bargains thread!

These are fantastic little lights. I use the rear ones attached with cable ties to the zip pulls on my backpack but easily fit on helmets & anywhere else too.
For the size & weight, 15 grams for light with battery they are a bargain - even at £5.48 delivered as they average at about a tenner a set.

I also just leave one cable tied, to prevent opportunist chavs nicking as only attached by velcro, to my fork & seat stay as additional / emergency lights. Remember to use a rubber shim or bit of old inner tube underneath to secure & stop them twisting.

Do you think the large would adjust enough to fit a 58.5cm head, or would it be too loose. They don't have any medium in stock

Real bargain that. Very tempted but don't use my Met lid enough to justify getting a bike matching one. Never really got that whole replica kit wearing thinking..

Not sure why a bargain like that which would do well on HUKD for "nobbers" who enjoy "heat" doesn't pop up on there - would do well.

Anyway - one from there is this £13.85 http://www.wiggle.co.uk/schwalbe-marathon-original-greenguard-rigid-road-city-tyre/
(link changed to remove the HUKD affiliate!)
Available in 27 X 1 1/4, 700 x 25, 32, 38 & other sizes to order.

Don't forget the cashback sites with @ 3%

Definitely not a light tyre at 520 grams on the 25s but will do for my hybrid this winter & look like they have a lot more grip on em than the very bald but utterly bombproof Conti Sport Contacts I am currently running!

My head is about 59cm and there is plenty of dial in left when attached to my bonce. You should be OK.

I swear I saw two people with these helmets at a cafe stop today.:ohmy:

Label inside the large one says it's for 59-61 cm, but like 400hp says, there seems to be a lot of adjustment on the dial, so you'll probably be OK

I know not everyone carries a first aid kit on rides, but I've been glad of mine on a couple of occasions.
One of the problems is finding a big enough dressing for large areas of road rash.
So I was rather pleased to find in the 99p shop 5 packs of both 9cm x 10cm and 9cm x 15cm
