I was looking at the cycling kit in Tesco in Bradley Stoke this lunchtime, as I need some new inner tubes (none in stock).

There was a Muc-Off wheel cleaning brush for 4 pence, according to the shelf label.

Yes, 4 pence.

I took it to the checkout and it did indeed ring up for 4 pence, so I bought it. Rude not to.

Sorry it was the last one on the shelf otherwise I'd have bought more !

I don't know whether other large Tesco stores might have them, though.

You were a little unlucky there, my local Tesco often has tempting things in the reduced section, last week I got some chilli infused olive oil, reduced from £2.49 to £1.24, however when I got to the till it went through at 62p ^_^ so I went back & bought the remaining 3 bottles :laugh: Similar thing with some passion fruit juice cartons, they went through the till at half the reduced price, so I reckon your brush would have been 2p in my local :laugh:

I've clearly been robbed but I guess they need the cash to shore up their loss-making !

Pah, that's nowt. My local sainsburys computer used to do bizarre things when combining reductions for stuff that was on sell by date with 3 for 2s or whatever. At least once the till told me it owed me money to take the shopping away. I took up the friendly staff's suggestion to go get a couple of bottles of wine to put the balance back into positive figures.

Don't know if these are any good, but Planet X have wireless cycle computers at £5 each (plus £4 P&P for orders under £50)

Shimano 105 direct mount brakes
OT, why on earth would mounting a brake caliper under the chainstays be a good plan; surely a place where it's most likely to get gummed up with crap from the road! The front looks neat enough though I don't really buy into the necessity for them now that discs are here :smile:

i quite like the brake position and is becoming more common on higher spec bikes..as for it getting bunged up cleaning it wouldnt be a problem TBH :okay:
