Got a set , indispensable for that tyre width question on here.

I've heard some cheap digital calipers eat through batteries unreasonably for their usage

But IMO Aldi/Lidl middle aisle stuff is good quality and value, and leagues ahead of ebay/amazon cheap stuff.

How do these measure up?
(Pun intended but genuine question, I don't want to be changing batteries every few uses)

Yeh. On some they keep trying to measure all the time. The only way to switch off is to take the battery out.

Bought it today, thanks.
There is switch off button so I'm not concern about battery lifetime. They added second battery though 🤔

Zipp Service Course SL-70 XPLR bars for less than £30 on Chain Reaction.

Great spot thanks! Just ordered some.

If anyone wants the same bars but with the new hideous oversized logo you can get them here for the bargain price of £115 from Sigma. Thats one hundred and fifteen pounds for alloy bars.

They look just the same base as the cheapo ones I have:

@Randall_Memphis they all have an on/off button.

Battery life isn't great but not terrible, probably a few months or something.

Legeeeeend! I have these bars already in 44cm and I've been thinking I should go narrower...can't not try it at that price!

£5 folding tyres
I actually brought one of these in an emergency in October last year and its still going well with not a single puncture! I ride on average 10 miles a day at this price I’ve ordered another set ready for next winter as they cost less than an inner tube at most bike shops.

Amazing, like a nightclub on wheels.

Not a bargain, probably clocked and possibly ragged to within an inch of its life but still had to share. Think of what the inside of this will have seen.

Moments after you installed the UV lights:

Everyone else can provide the jokes about the back of a limo.

I'm intrigued about what it is.

I reckon it was a first one of those small local community buses.
(First registered 2006, but first MOT was 23 February 2007. As it was 12 months after reg it must have been a bus/HGV.)
Then someone spent a fair whack giving it a VW T5 front end, and a general hen-do makeover and has the vehicle reclassified as a car. No way is it a VW transporter underneath. I reckon a LDV or other crappy flatbed van.

I find it funny a seaside town granny bus had a second life that probably couldn't be further from its origins.

Maybe, I don't know. You did get those community buses in VW flavour so it could just be a pimped-out version of one of these: https://www.flickr.com/photos/23875695@N06/8075010145

Definitely had two very distinct lives either way.

Seller buys something, pays via PayPal then collects and then a week later opens a case saying the item doesn't work.

Has till the 12th to send it back and just sends it back yesterday.

Anyway I can get out of refunding him even tho hes I know hes just used the item and didnt want to use it again.
