Products and Services... Just bought a new accessory or product for your bike? Or bought new riding kit? Do you love it, think it's great? Or do you think it's poor, a complete waste of money and wish you never bought it? Or paid for a service, been ripped off and the job was not up to spec? Either way, share your experiences and write ups here! Feel free to name and shame if you so wish!

Halfords are great for some things, but never trust their mechanical expertise too much, As an Apprentice mechanic 15 years ago A group of us would wander into local Halfords store during our college lunch break. Approach the parts counter and ask for non existant parts...eg once asked for a water pump for a 1972 Bettle!! I had to walk away while bloke spent ages looking on computer to locate part cos I couldn't stop laughing!
That said they can be a life saver at times! Always handy on a sunday when everyone else closed.

Eliminate the impossible. Whatever remains, however improbable, must be the part you forgot to service.

How many do you want
There is nothing wrong with the way I ride.
Just stay 15 feet in front or 15 feet behind. You need to be 15 feet to my left or right.
Any closer and your MINE all MINE
