Bargain Crazy Thread

[moanthebairns]

Thanks for that, I can get the bikes oils and such for next season saving myself a tidy wee sum. I might even treat myself to a new front paddock stand.

[moanthebairns]

Well I put a nice wee order in,

a 5 litre fuel jug,
x3 brake cleaner
x3 filters
10 litres of muc off
4 containers of oil
1 coolant
1 brake fluid
3 cans of chain lube.

Saved myself £47 odd in total.........Sent it to my old bding address, frantically trying to change this or cancel. Wit a fking tit.

I couldn't resist it. I bought lines for the blade and M/C for the Daytona. Not bad for £200.

I have the Brembo RCS19 on a road and track bike so I'll be able to see which I prefer.

I can echo that with my Daytona lever, bled and bled and feels wooden. I was going to rebuild it but then saw that offer.

[moanthebairns]

I had to upgrade the lever on my track Daytona as it was getting tired from crashing. The feedback from the Brembo was much better than the standard. It however was night and day when I got one for my non-radial Ninja. For the Kawasaki it was by far the best upgrade I could have done.

Problem now is on a bike like my Fireblade, of which I really like the brakes, they just don't feel as 'refined' and give as much 'feedback' as an after market lever so I do think about changing them.

I'd never say the original m/c are no use, that'd be stupid. But I don't like to ride with a 'wooden' brake lever feel. Anytime I've used the RCS it has transformed the range to suit me.

eBay have previously done 20% sales shortly after Christmas on all items for the last few years, I got my Brembo and reservoir for £200 if memory serves me right with this deal. If you don't need it just now I'd hold off and see if you can get it in the promotion. All genuine Brembo stuff comes with a card you scratch off and register it online.

I have one, swear it was only £9.99 when I bought it! Either way, it has charged many a battery and is currently charging a motorbike battery that has somehow managed to reverse polarity. Put it on the "right" way and it has a little symbol telling you to swap the leads over. It's not great with totally dead batteries and it requires being "tricked" into charging them but once it's up and running it's perfectly fine. Has 3 charging modes which I totally ignore, I just turn it on and leave it. The screen seems difficult to read in dark places unless you're square on, the bright blue back light can make the text a bit hard to read but otherwise, it's a bargain.

Yeah I have one, if only I could find the fking thing, I think i'll just buy another, its been great.

[moanthebairns]

I bought an aldi charger and must say its an improvement from the one I bought about six years ago but just can't find. For £13 it's a bargain.
Units improved, clips improved and I fking hate aldi, I'm not one of these wkers who claims their gipo crunch corner or iron brew tastes better than the ste it's imitating.

Ducati badged Arai Quantum ST for £179 in L. M for more spondolies.

That's pretty fking irresponsible selling a six year old helmet imo. The manufacturers are telling us to replace them when they're five years old because the interior will have deteriorated.

Because of use, sweat etc, as its unused, and I guess has been stored out of sunlight /UV rays, I would think its still "as new ".

Arai quote a lifetime of 7 years for the manufactured date if unsold, or 5 years from when bought / first used. After that, the lining / glues etc deteriorate, even if unused.

So it has a year left in it

My boots came yesterday all the way from Germany in less than 72 hours, what Brexit.

Very comfy........walking around the house. They fit as well. But then again I do own 3 pairs of alpinestars boots already and my feet don't seem deformed like the rest on here. Hands though......big palms tiny fingers, nightmare.

I’ve got the Aldi torque wrench. Comes with the calibration certificate and the results are pretty accurate.

Obviously it could all be lies but I’ve only used it for wheel nuts on the car so far and it’s been fine.

Lets be honest, any calibration of said torque wrench goes promptly out the window when you use it as a breaker bar one day at a track day or when you've got a puncture.

Doesn't say the Nm range though....I wouldn't use it on anything below 30Nm I've a real one for that but happily use it on a rear wheel.
