Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

Bought a 30L backpack today from Clas Ohlsen for £9.99. I think it might be a clearance deal because they had a near identical bag for twice the price. I know a lot of cyclists don't like backpacks because of Sweaty Back Syndrome, but this has a mesh airflow thingy that's supposed to help, and I prefer the convenience of a backpack over panniers if you're just nipping out to the shops.

They also have a Shimano gear cable set (inner and outer, front and rear) for £5.50.

Try the Look Keo Plus from Evans for £39.99.
Apparently the same as the Classic but a bit cheaper. I've just got a set and can't see any difference.

I know I havent been on for a while, but Ive just got my Aldi email through and they are running the alarm lock again.

I reviewed this last year when they were available. The lock is going strong and the batteries are still ok, however it isnt constantly in use.

I bought another for the shed which has been out in rain and frost etc, armed 24/7. This one no longer alarms but I believe its just the batteries - mechanically its still sound.

As I say in the review, I tend to use it through the disk brake as a "hidden deterrent" in conjunction with an Abus Granit Xplus Dlock and a Abus Centuro 810 cable lock.

Oh, and if you have any questions about it PM me rather than post - Im not very active on here lately.

I was looking to buy Way of the Roses: Sustrans' Cycle Route Map and it is much cheaper at Amazon ( £4.73 ) than direct fron Sustrans.

Probably won't help many but suited me.

I saw they had a merino l/s jersey, gloves and overshoes for £35 offer earlier this week.
Not all sizes available but seems a very good deal if you can find stuff that fits.

Hi
Just been to my local Aldi store to pick up the alarm padlock (seems pretty robust and loud) as a lightish addition to my usual bike lock.

Also noticed in ski section 100% merino wool base layer t shirts for £13.99, so bought two. Seem Ok quality and lots cheaper than named equivalents tbh.
