Vaguely considering the halfish-price Vaude bar bag as a replacement camera bag, but as always the problem of lights peeking over it is dissuading me. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14159#post-176622 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 11:25:17 +0000 SRD 176622@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hank chief - do you think it will hold the tandem? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14159#post-176621 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 11:11:57 +0000 HankChief 176621@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Gkgk - that's the one I just got from Santa.

Great for the cash, just a bit of a hassle to set up and take down, with those legs. You can get a wall mounted version too, if you own your flat! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14159#post-176616 Mon, 29 Dec 2014 00:15:35 +0000 Nelly 176616@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"wandered past the co-op this afternoon on impulse. much quieter than i'd have expected"</p> <p>I popped in yesterday to pick up a replacement for my lost computer.</p> <p>Shop was empty. </p> <p>When I were a lad I remember queues, rummaging in the boxes for bargains, hovis adverts </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14159#post-176615 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 21:33:42 +0000 SRD 176615@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>doubtless. but? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14159#post-176612 Sun, 28 Dec 2014 20:46:59 +0000 gembo 176612@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>More switching to on-line shopping?

It's fine for cleaning/very minor tinkering such as adjusting brakes or gears. Not so much for anything more involved. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14159#post-176559 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 13:59:04 +0000 SRD 176559@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yeah, had taken a look at the co-op sale. Wasn't sure what to make of those prices. Seemed to be nothing mid-range at all. Just under £12 or over £70?</p> <p>Is the £12.99 reduced to £11.04 mini tune up any use?</p> <p>Amazon has various ones between £20-40 - any recommended brands? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14159#post-176555 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 13:33:45 +0000 gembo 176555@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Check out the PDF file in the EBC sale, think they have their own one, a park one and a Topeak one. Starts tomorrow but sometimes on line before </p> <p>From recollection the park one, was dearer but the topeak one was same price as their own one, which suggests to me their own one is too dear. All far pricier than the LIDL one. They had foot stands as well which are good for gear adjustments and checking things out but the mechanics then generally switch to the bigger stands</p> <p>I imagine theses stands will be on their website just now without the reduction.</p> <p>Though I spotted a castelli Gabba Jersey in size medium only (too small for me) slightly cheaper than wiggle/chain reaction in the PDFs list but not on the website. Probably the version one of the Gabba - I see it is on to version two now. Nice but too dear. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14159#post-176554 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 13:22:48 +0000 SRD 176554@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>We're looking for a work stand. Don't want to spend a fortune, nor to buy a cheap one that's not much use. Suggestions?</p> <p>(Obviously a lidl one had been considered, but we'd like one sooner) </p>
