If you don't find it, let's meet up for a ride - I just discovered that I have two extractors and would be happy to give you the spare.

My Oryx Grey MTB has a couple of hints of the colour Blue on as standard. But is otherwise a whole quagmire of Black: and pretty drab 😞 So I’ve bought some blue ‘bolt on bits’ to give a touch of contrasting colour. Not sure what I will and won’t use yet - but all as cheap as chips so don’t matter either way…….

I bought this, and was pleased to note that it is unisex, which is as things should be in this day and age. I hope no CycleChatters are still using outdated gender specific chain wax...
How well does it work in the wet? Or do you only use it in dry weather.

As much as three puddles? The dry muc off is not too bad, the chain starts squeaking after 50km or so in the wet. The wet muc off has good staying power, but gunks up easily. I guess there's no magic bullet solutions when it comes to chain lubricant.

Agreed. I use the Muc-Off dry in the summer (put it on for the first time on Saturday), and the Wet in the winter (both the ceramic ones).
As you say, get caught in the rain once, you need to re-apply the dry, the wet can get through a few showers before needing re-doing, but does get very gunky.

I took my sunscreen knee warmers out at the weekend and they've picked up a hole somehow over winter. I knew about the slight detachment from the thigh grips but that's out of sight and it's not got much worse over the last couple of years. But I figured I better replace them. Whilst I was at it I thought I'd give Squirt Lube ago on my gravel bike so I ordered a bottle.
Edit I already got some Peatys degreaser and GT85 last week and I've had a new chain for a while. So it'll be a cleaning fest some time soon.

They've arrived and are for 6-bolt disc as well as rim brakes.
However, the rear looks to be a 135mm hub not a 130mm. If they don't fit the bike are you still interested? Either that or I'll stick them back on sale.

Another carbon rear wheel as the Veltec set I bought appears to be the wrong rear wheel hub size. Not paid much for this one, but it'll do fine.
This one should be paid for by my selling off a pile of old / broken wheels we no longer use.
