I was thinking about a back protector or a paddock stand but what else would you go for. I could probably go an extra £30 or so and there is nothing I desperately need.

I would quite like a Bluetooth helmet set but don’t have enough extra cash at the moment after having to get my car door fixed today.

At some stage a lightweight summer jacket might be quite handy but I didn’t see anything on their website.

Sounds like you want to buy something because, to you, free monies but don't actually know if you need anything.

Save it and spend when you've got some cash to add to it and invest in something you like the look of and feel you need.

Forget a £40 paddock stand.

You will hurt yourself or your bike with shite that cheap.

J&S are a Chinese Import Outlet Store. Some stuff may be cheap but that is only because it is cheap to begin with.

I would agree with summer gloves (or boots). But good gloves are at least £70-£80 entry level.

There are cheap gloves too of course if you are cheap and not too fussy. Very Happy

I agree with saving it for when you need it, but if you're intent on spending it, maybe cleaning bits and pieces (muck off and the like)?

Just buy oil and filter, keep it in stock for your next service.

I just thought there might be an interesting gadget or something I hadn’t picked up on recently.

I have to say though unlike most of my other hobbies you don’t seem to get much for £40 these days.

I might be missing out on something life changing like tyre pressure gauge valve caps.

Paddock stands are useful. makes cleaning/oiling the chain much easier. basically helps with anything maintenance to do with the rear wheel.

I agree this is probably the best way to turn your voucher into money.

Brake pads may also be another option.

Something like this x2. It involves putting in a tenner though, plus you would need to get oil filters seperately.

The oil filters seem more expensive on there (but I could be out of touch as I buy 3 or 4 at a time).
