Somerset Bikes closed a few months ago, and I stocked up on the usual consumables before they did, but with the build of the latest Cats Wiskas I have inevitably found the things I forgot to buy.
Never mind, most of the stuff I need I have bought at Halfords in the past, so a quick trip there resulted in:
Tube of grease - No. Although they do have the grease guns in stock.
Brake O rings - No. The couple I have left are in a Halfords bag.
Gear O rings - No
Brake cable ferrules - No
V brake blocks - £8.99 pr for generic moulded blocks
26" Rim tape - £4.99 for some silicone squishy thing, no bog standard tapes.
26" Inner tubes - £3.99 own brand.
So, I left empty handed, as only the tubes were a sensible price.
I don't know who has chosen the stock profile for our local store, but it's an inconsistent mess.
Man I miss SBC.
