For the Sony Action Cam owners in the house, some relatively inexpensive Sony branded accessories. I think the pole has been around for a while, but I hadn't seen the harness this cheap before.

Hydration pack from Decathlon only in the Purple colour, I went in to buy the 1L version but the storage space was very small then saw this one for the same price.

I sometimes think about buying something like this for my daily commuter as you coudnt even build one you self using a degree of 2nd parts much cheaper .

yes ok it will be heavy i should think but what can you expect for £149.99 , so who will be the first cc member to have one

@biggs682 I'm really tempted as I don't have a single speed in the collection at the moment.
But I have had 4 or 5 and none of them stayed with me for that long before. Although there is more room in my garage at the minute as I have less bikes now than I've had for year's!

Probably not the place to discuss but I don't understand the fascination with them

Halfords has a three for two offer on MO94 - the Muc Off equivalent of GT85.

It says on the tin Muc Off is an official supplier to Sky, so I'm expecting a marginal gain in lubrication.

Good for cadence training and you can't whimp out when an incline comes along either so good leg strength training;but really they are just cool although those based on old(er) steel frames are coolest.

i like them a lot but miss the choice of gears and as @Elybazza61 says good training tool

They are great for simplicity and a pure mechanical feeling but only if you're riding in an area that hasn't got any major uphills, then it becomes a pain and the downhills become a bit dodgy. Personally I prefer front and rear brakes but the trend still seems to be brakeless round here which is mad.
Stick a set of Marathon Plus on it and there really isn't much thats going to go wrong on your daily commute.

I dont really use GT85 to lube my chain but more to partially degrease and drive water out of my drivechain on return from a wet commute.

When you stop at the lights and you need to get your pedal back to the 2 o' clock position for a good takeoff, you lift the back wheel and pedal it backwards to get to the right position, and all the drivers behind you and for that matter everyone within a 100 metre radius goes 'whoo, that is sooooo cool'. Least, that's why I do it.

£2.70 for a good quality pair of socks!
