anyone tried?
could be useful for sticking to cheapo cycling glasses for reading some bits of my pretty small screen garmin.

Got mine and used them for a ride yesterday. Works as well as the expensive ones and stayed on fine. Thanks for the tip off !

Aldi / Lidl versions generally seem to last well

This is the exact same generic rebranded toolkit I got from PlanetX years ago, and has served me well.

The crank extractor is a bit cheese like on the set I had

often a weak point on cheap sets I think and not something you want issues with.
My X tools one is fine though.

I do use it a lot yes, and not really had any issues with it.

The crank extractor is fine in my set,the chain breaker, on the other hand, died first time out.

Might depend on how much you use it, crank extractor was fine for some time such that when it did play up I initially suspected the threads on the bike rather than it.

got the same set for years now, the tyre levers snapped and the chain tool is cheesy so i have supplemented them with better quality tools , added a quick link tool , tyre lever tool and some more cone spanners as my commuter has 17 mm cones .

If it's like some past sets, the chain tool only does up to 8 speed and not the hardened Shimano (black?) pins.

I reckon this rack is a bargain for a tenner! Free post to the highlands and arrived quicker than a greased weasel Looks good quality with bolts to put it together and theres plenty of adjustment to fix most bikes. So would prefer one made of super light unobtanium made by NASA but this'll do fine for most Bash Street kids Heavy Duty Aluminum Alloy Bicycle Cycling Bike Rear Pannier Rack Luggage Carrier | eBay
* just fitted this to a Dawes 201 no problems looks ok. Its also got gradation marks for various wheel sizes when raising or lowering it.
