Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

Muck Off, lubes etc are on offer.

Muck off lubes (wet) smell lovely but attract too much dirt.

Dammit! I was in there last week and saw some but forgot to pick it up. Maybe I'll swing by there again on Monday.

Not if you just put a drop on the roller, then wipe with a rag. It's what I use on the MTB

That's what I do with all my lube but found this one dirtier than the rest. YMMV

To continue the theme of cheap cycling GPS units, how about the Garmin Edge 200 for only £30 - that's £5 less than the RRP of a Cateye Velo Wireless.

I've just done a check and it can be reserved for reserving & paying in store, but comes with the usual caveats regarding Halfords actually having stock and honouring the order!

I noted some winter bib longs were wearing thin so these for only £15.75 delivered will do nicely.

Thanks for the post
Do you know anything about them/that company?
They seem cheap even at full price for that sort of thing.

I have the Caratti bibs purchased at £40, would definitely recommend these.

thanks for the reply - currently musing about toilet stops with such things

guidance note for anyone else considering - I checked out the sizing and they seem to be one size up from what I would normally need - check carefully

The company has been going for yonks & they get good reviews. Mine will replace some £20 Aldi ones which have done three winters. These are usually pretty stretchy although one does have to sometimes lean forwards over the urinal (being a chap).

At the risk of a thread divert you mean you have a fighting chance of attending to things without removing the braces and whatever is on top of them?

edit- anyone got views on whether the padding is up to a day ride (reason I have been contemplating these mysterious things) or are they more for a quick spin/commute?

I was wondering about this before I tried bib longs and it's not something to be worried about for a chap. All of mine either have a zip down the front or enough stretchiness to pull the front panel down far enough to point Percy at the porcelain. HTH

The padding on my bibs is good for 4 hrs which is my longest ride. It seems to be the same chamois as the tights.
That's a bargain for £16

Well I ordered some - thanks for your patience folks with my nervous questions

suppose everyone has to try bibs eventually and these should be a good economical test
