My hose is long enough, but I much prefer using one of these

My Karcher portable washer holds 4 litres and, after a couple of attempts, is easily enough for getting all the dirt off. 7 litres will be plenty.

I’ve had to buy a new D lock as my existing one is playing up (having to wiggle the key around for ages to get it to lock/unlock). It’s a bit of a grudge purchase, but this Abus D lock and cable at £25* seems good value:

*Listed at £30, but code ECWJ2R gives £5 off.

I bought 3 Muddyfox cycling tops today from Sports Direct. Got two for £18 and the third for £6. Absolute bargain. Pleased as punch.

Quick note if anyone is buying from this shop though, they don’t give refunds (unless faulty), only exchange or credit note. Plus click and collect costs the same as home delivery (£5). Don’t get caught out. I learnt this from experience about a year ago.

I bought one and it's totally poo.

If they mess up a delivery then you have to pay to return the product for replacement and then have to chase them for a refund (which never mateialised). Awful company ethics.

Horrible shops cannot stand them!

[QUOTE 5182501, member: 45"]I'd be interested to know how they last. Sports Direct buy what used to be decent brand names and sell tat under those names.[/QUOTE]

I’ll report back after they’ve been washed and used a few times.

I'd be more inclined to go for this one:

I have a granit plus as my main lock and this as a secondary. don't use it outdoors, so can't vouch for it's weatherproofness.

I have this lock and never any problems so far.

found some Smith & Locke steel braided looped cable 10mm x 3metre and plastic covered for £2.99 instead of £6.99 from screwfix so wife bought me 3 and they can be joined so now i can tether my trike to the stair rails as my trike lives under the stairs in the lobby outside my door of my ground floor flat and just take one with me with a padlock and leave the other 2 padlocked under stairs.
