I get asked plenty for cheap "stuff", sometimes I take the effort to explain why a £1.79 pump from decathlon isn't going to get their track tubs to 150psi, and sometimes I just remind them that amazon/poundland/halfords exists and maybe they should buy their stuff from there.
Some folk will happily take the advice and up their game, others will rip the £25 valve extenders off their mavic 3g, desperately trying to save that last few quid so they can make this months payment on that merc amg but not an amg that they shouldn't have leased.
