Recommend some cheap Cycling Presents for Christmas

[fossyant]

What about winter gloves for cycling or otherwize? but give her your hand measurements so she will know what to buy. I find these a good present unless you have loads all ready?
Or some general things like Wet Lube and degreasers etc? You will always use them?

I think gloves are always needed - certainly long finger MTB type. I also need new bar grips for the commuter as they are wearing thin.

A neck doo-dah or a cap. New bottles. Socks.

A neck doo-dah or a cap. New bottles. Socks.

Liner hat. I have one made of recycled pterodactyls or something.
Fits under my helmet and is very effective in the winter.

A new carbon bike

I think they are like Ali-Express.

Yes they are. Dont expect Rapha quality. But there are some fun things in there.

Mini pumps on your bike frame have a limited life span IME - and you only find it's shoot when you need it most - a new/spare is always handy.

Decent socks, skull caps, bottles, summer mitts....

Bum butter.

I find a really good piece of clothing is a Buff. Footballers call them snoods.
Quite versatile and keeps your throat, neck, head and ears nice and toasty.
I still have my Cycle Chat one.

Got a few of these myself. I find it useful to cover my gob and nose on cold mornings until I warm up.

One of the most useful products I’ve bought recently was a Tyre Glider, a tool for getting your tyres back on your rims. I pride myself on never being defeated by a tyre/rim combo, but this has made the job of refitting tyres a whole lot easier. They are only about £10-15 each.

I regularly get asked what I want for Christmas/Birthday but usually have a budget of £50 to play with. Recent presents include 2 GP 5000 tyres, a year’s subscription to Rouleur magazine, a Fat Lad at the Back jersey (the Will Ride for Cake one).
