    Where is the best place to get bike stuff at a reasonable price? Like pumps and inner tubes?

    I tried Aldi, or maybe it was Lidl, I always get them mixed up. They should merge and just be one thing.

    I basically need a pump and also need to replace an inner tube I think, maybe a repair kit is what I need.

    Inner tube is about a fiver in most places.
    the pump very much depends on what type you want.

    Ah ok yep as above sure they wouldn't be too pricey anywhere. If you do spot the electric pump that Aldi sell they are the job

    I your bike is a road bike which will require high pressure in the tyres then you ought to go with a track pump. At that, cheap track pumps probably won't do the job. I have and would recommend this one. Tubes are so cheap that it's not worth the hastle of repairing them.
