I tried to take advantage of the last sale at EBC. I needed a replacement for a Blackburn Air Tower that died the day we were setting off for 3 weeks' cycle camping. Cycled across Edinburgh to find the shop closed for stocktaking. Not impressed!</p> <p>Bought a (full price) Topeak Joe Blow track pump from Leith Cycle Co. instead. On reflection, that is what I should have done in the first place, they have a branch just across the road from my house...</p> <p>Might look at EBC online this time... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3421#post-38400 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 11:51:50 +0000 custard 38400@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>also I see the revolution tune up kit is £44.99 down to £29.99 and the workstand is £49.99 from £89.99<br /> sadly I'm skint :( </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3421#post-38399 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 11:49:43 +0000 wingpig 38399@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Maybe they have too many in the stockroom and keep tripping over them.</p> <p>Missed out last time after an online order failed to result in anything but I shall get one this time as an extremely late birthday present for my dad, who it still judging correct pressurisation by thumb-testing tyres after pumping them up with a car foot pump. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3421#post-38397 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 11:38:15 +0000 custard 38397@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>so I bought one at £17.99<br /> then I bought one at £12.99<br /> its now reduced to £9.99 (from the 20th)</p> <p>are EBC reading this and just having fun with me? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3421#post-35956 Thu, 21 Jul 2011 20:21:03 +0000 gembo 35956@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I bought a second EBC track pump for work for £8.99 once [and got the depute head at Tynie to buy one for the bike club there]. Few years back. Total bargain. Even at £12.99 might get another as the one in my garage is worn out </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3421#post-35944 Thu, 21 Jul 2011 14:19:19 +0000 custard 35944@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>These are still o9n offer,plenty in stock<br /> EBC have even set up a try them out wheel</p> <p>I bought another for work today<br /> on the way in this morning(was having a great run and making good speed) I got a puncture<br /> so i fitted the spare tube<br /> this must have had a fault as it burst as i fitted the wheel!<br /> so it was a £12 taxi ffor the rest of the journey to work *grumble* </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3421#post-35712 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 08:58:00 +0000 chdot 35712@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"Very community spirited!

I'd feel guilty replacing it with something more effective. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3421#post-35708 Fri, 15 Jul 2011 16:56:53 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 35708@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm actually tempted to carry out Arellcat's plan and get one and zip tie it to a railing in our underground car/bike park... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3421#post-35707 Fri, 15 Jul 2011 16:48:21 +0000 Cyclingmollie 35707@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I bought one in May at full price.
