    Tech-7 have the best lubricant aroma. I won't even hear the argument.

    Aldi Terenure didn't have a lot of what I was interested in such as the wet oil, chain cleaning kit and only some of the muc off cleaning sprays. I did get a bag, shorts and gt85.

    Agree with some of the other comments, this is horrendous stuff. I've used it for a good while on a few bikes and it just attracts dirt, I also find it hard enough to clean off when trying to do a proper job cleaning the chain and cassette, pulley wheels etc.

    I probably have a good half a bottle of it left in the shed, need to check, but you're welcome to it if interested

    Guys is the tube sealant basically the same product as tyre sealant ?

    I run tubeless on the road bike and ran out of schwalbe doc blue recently and am wondering is this an adequate replacement

    Glad I followed this thread - thought that the bottle of the Wet Oil Muc Off I bought a year ago had somehow gone off, now I see its a design feature of the product.

    The manufacturers claim that its not and that it has no corrosion inhibitors that tubeless sealant has. Is this true? I don't know. I know from reading reviews you need to put more of this in a tube than you would put in an equivalent tubeless tyre, so even if you can, no way to know is it actually any value and I wouldn't risk my wheels without having seen someone else do it first. Let me know how you get on

    tube sealant sounds like tyre weld to me? i.e. to seal existing punctures but not necessarily to protect against more?

    I don't want to be ruining my carbon hoops either ,😄Won't be trying it unless I've good reason to believe it's fine and works.

    If it were fit for both I would expect that to be written all over the bottle

    I read reviews, it does work like tyre sealant in that it seals new punctures and seems to do an OK job if not as quick as tube sealant. It also seems to stay in liquid form (as in no dry out), which might be related to why it doesn't seal as quickly. Maybe handy on a commuter but then again, I'd just buy Schwalbe Marathons if it was that big a concern.

    People blasting GT85 on their bikes, do ye keep them in the house afterwards? I'm not allowed, the smell is too strong apparently. Never had that complaint for any other product I've applied to the bike before...

    I used some on a squeaky door hinge because it was the closest to hand, got the head eaten off me.

    Under Armour cold gear BL, ive not come across anything to rival these so far.

    Has anyone bought from underarmour.ie since Brexit hit? Looks like they're shipping from the UK, so I'm wondering if extra charges applied?

    Lifestyle have a decent sale in UA Base layers.

    I have a winter BL so would be looking for non-cold one.

    Very helpful, thanks - got something for the teen in Lifestyle. Not a great selection of sizes left, but hopefully this one will fit.

    Discount available for student card too.

    If there's a range near you they have them I noticed the other day, not sure of the exact price but less than a tenner.

    There's cycling stuff in Aldi on 16th May, but no leaflet yet to see what's in stock. Maybe keep an eye out on the website

    If they had their 29er in I would pick one up, decent knock about frame from what reviews I have found.
