Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

They are heavy & don’t roll well. A good big thorn would just make a sticky mess. You may as well go tubeless all together.

I think for mountain biking they are fine, the difference would be more noticeable on a road bike.
Tubeless would be difficult as my rims, as with most retro 26ers are not compatible.

Bargain for your MTB then.

Stans tubeless kit for non tubeless MTB 26” wheels is the answer, just done might and they’re a delight to ride, cheap too

Paired with racing ralpha TLR tyres it’s transformed my ride comfort

Various but not all sizes.... Actually in stock too.
As ever with defaffalon take stock levels with a pinch of salt

I stopped using slime type stuff years ago when I had to change a tube and the stuff squirted out of the valve getting over everything - !

Bit niche, but Amazon have the Ryobi cordless pressure washer at a big reduction:

View: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ryobi-RY18PW22A-125-22bar-Power-Washer/dp/B08JGZKRXG


These are the ones that feed from a bucket of water, as I understand it, not from a mains hose. Ryobi is a good brand and I think you can use the included battery with other Ryobi power tools. Wouldn't think it is up to doing a few cars or cleaning the patio, but handy if you are camping or caravaning or don't want to get the Karcher out to clean your bike.

We must have inadvertently upset a bunch of pigeons, and I'm tempted to get one of these purely for the "bird strikes" we get on the driveway.

We get Canada geese round here and their poop seems especially toxic and if left quickly lifts the clearcoat on my cars metallic paint. We have a hose and an outdoor tap, but if you had a water butt and the Ryobi it would probably do the job quite nicely.

My collection order has now been cancelled apparently at my request. But the store is now showing out of stock. The stock levels are usually pure fiction and this time was no exception.

Defaffalon!

Amazon have the weldtite 250ml sealant bottles for £3.19. Each bottle does 2 average size tubes, possibly 3 smaller tubes (Brompton, 700x23 etc) or maybe one fatbike tube. The bottle has both schrader and presta valve removers built into the lid. Not bad at £1.60 a tube to massively reduce the chance of punctures.

Aldi have baggy cycling shorts with a lycra liner. Originally £7.99, the remains are being cleared at £5.99. I have a pair, they are OK. Generous fit (I have lost weight) and comfy. Not ridden in them yet, but they seem OK.

Cheapish lock with flex cable at Amazon, £18.30, at time of posting. Postage free if you have Prime, or free if you spend over £20, I think. Cheapest elsewhere is £25.
