Was after some GT85 as I'd run out, and spotted this:

http://www.tesco.com/direct/gt85-spray-lubricant-400ml/213-1016.prd?pageLevel=&skuId=213-1016&kpid=213-1016&sc_cmp=ppc_g__&gclid=CL6I_IWniLYCFZDKtAodbi0Arw

Bargain. Just order it and pick it up from Tesco on a click and collect. I am now well stocked with the stuff..

🙂

....... alternatively if you really want to save your pennies just use a big hammer to release it and old chip fat to lubricate 😆

Or you could just pop to your local bike shop (Dave Hinde) and get it even cheaper!!!!

All you have to do is ask..................

I recently had a club member (who shall remain nameless) who bought a bargain cassette and chain from another supplier thinking he had a great deal and fitted the items himself only to find out that the cassette and chain he bought were 9 speed and his bike was 10 speed!!!!

Expensive mistakes can be avoided if only a little local trade is looked into.........................

At the risk of sounding like a broken record ..... this would never have happened if you rode a proper bike with 1 gear. 😉 Even a monkey can maintain one of those with ease and I'm living proof of that! 🙂

What? That it's easy to maintain, or that you are in fact living proof that you are a primate that disproves Darwin's theory?
lol
