Seems like my quest for a cheap bike pump to try out may soon be over, darn those garage machines Rolling Eyes

Bungee set and GT85 are the only other ones that may be of use (to bikes), thought I'd give a heads up.

Thumbs Up

'Includes 3 adapters which can be used for air mattresses, balls and rubber boats'.

About all they're good for. Mine was binned long ago.
Can't beat a decent foot-pump.

The GT 85 is always worth stocking up on Thumbs Up

.... then hang on to your receipt until they have them at half price to clear... buy more... then return some with your original recei..... Silence

I would never do this Folded arms

The handy graphic shows you can 'track your speed as you go', though!

Because you wouldn't expect it to do that, of course!

I'm confused as to what GT 85 actually does, some websites are saying chain lube others are saying replacement for WD 40 Idea

If you want a decent foot pump save your money and get one of these below £25 however great fit for most things. If anyone does get one you will have to fully screw it in, sounds obvious but from the reviews sounds like some people can't get the hang of it.

On Thursday they have some rubber floor mats, looks like a good thing for the garage floor.

Neither, it just smells good Very Happy Thumbs Up

It's not a chain lube, I use it on my MTB chain in dry conditions as it doesn't stay wet like WD 40 so dust doesn't stick to it the same. I wouldn't use it as a lube for a motorbike chain though - it's very light.

It's no fancy miracle product but for general day to day maintenance stuff I basically find it a 'more pleasant' WD 40 replacement Laughing

I saw these but they only have edges and corners so you can only link them up 2x3, unless you just want to put them adjacent to other 2x3 patches. Seems to defeat the point of having them tessellating.

gt85 is for renovating plastic and vinyl parts and removing stickers. Great for guitar hero controllers and car interiors.
