Found a Bargain? Do Tell.

I have this exact tool kit and have been using it for the last few years. I got it and the workstand for £70 from CRC. I see the workstand is £50 at the minute so not far off the deal I got instore.

TBH looks pretty much the same as my aldi tool kit expect the handles are blue plastic rather than red

Polaris have useful things for this time of year like leg warmers (Aldi take note) for £5

Note postage is at least £4.50 unless you order £75 worth

I hate it when something is reduced after just being purchased! At least they were very good and refunded the difference.
Was tempted to get one, but some of the reviews put me off, saying the light was a bit yellow and not as bright as claimed.
I need something to see the potholes on my 6am commute. Been using my Solarstorm, but having to charge it everyday now.
I'd seen on another forum a couple of people saying how good the below was at £50. Might wait until they have a 10% offer and use my BC card to get another 10% off.

Stacks of the 500W and 1000W ones in my local store but now only one 1600W. Had an idea of using it as a power bank for my phone and plugging a power bank into it to keep it charged. The Garmin mount fitting swung the purchase for me as the handlebar clutter on the road bike was making locating a second light something of a major issue.

If a problem again, you need one of these:

Having fastened and undone and refastened and...due to it being too big for my handlebars yet too small with the thinnest supplied ring (not a problem with the cheap ebay one that it replaced) hence needing tape wrapping round the handlebar I notice the allen key hole in the bolt was wearing a bit so something to watch

Excellent. Just what I will need (eventually) for my Holdsworth refurb. Cheers!

Thanks to @JhnBssll in another thread.
I’ve just ordered some Union Jack name decals for a couple of bikes, they were only £2 per pair (99p postage). Different styles/flags/colours available too.

This may be the wrong place to ask but:

- Are these just for racing bikes? Is it dumb for a commuter?

- Are these easy to remove if you sell your bike eventually?

- Are they a theft deterrent? (I would use a scarier name; Knuckles McGurk)

- Flag aside, will people judge you? (e.g. insinuating to have a competitive streak, then race you?)

- They ask you to specify a flag... Can they use any emoji?
