Bought one of the small bottles a few months ago for £2 from my LBS.

After seeing them recently for £8 in about 5 shops, I assumed they had gone up dramatically with the recent price hike.

So went to Halfrauds and I managed to blag a small bottle of their own brand car stuff for free.

On my way back home, went into the LBS I originally got a bottle from and they are still £2.

My question is, did they use to be £2 and this would mean it is old stock (in which case I may stock up)?

Also, how the hell can they justify £8 a small bottle of oil?!

Don't ever recall them being less than £6.99, may be bottles supplied with brakesets that were surplus to requirements.

It is the same as LHM. Or at least, that works just as well.
