Post by: M3ta7h3ad on August 14, 2006, 20:03:58 PM
Cycling gear for the UK folks! :)

Cycling jackets, trousers, and jerseys.

Toolkits (including cone spanners, chain tools, shimano freewheel remover, crank puller, chain whip, pedal spanners, er and other bike things :D)

Foot pumps, rear led blinkies, rain capes.

Bargainous :D

Just bought myself one of the toolkits as I figure Ill probably need one to fix my bike. Seems to have everything in there.

LOL, you can kick him and he still gets up. :D

Sounded like your wheels got a real raping. If theyre bent more than a few mm, correcting this in a way that will be long lasting is futile. :/ Worth a check, though.

Too bad craigslist Cardiff isnt really hopping yet. Its the best place to get bike bits for cheap over here. Lots of swapping and horsetrading.  You could be the first person to post (https://post.craigslist.org/cym/S/bik/none/x) in the cycling section! :lol:

lol well first thing I am going to do is replace. Definately not worth trying to true them again mainly because the wheel is almost kinda crescent shaped :)

Oh and posted! :)

I hope it picks up over there, as Ive found it much better than ebay for just about anything. I even bought a nice pine worktable from a bona fide country music star (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gretchen_Peters)! :lol:

As well as Lidl its worht keeping an eye on Aldi too, usually have some good bargains going and now have their specials in twice weekly.

Picked up a small handlebar coolbag thats going to be used for my camera gear when I get around to fitting it.
