ideally I don't want to spend much more than £20.

Superstar? I've seen Ritchy Logic for that price. For a bit more (£28) I've seen RaceFace Deus which is tempting soley for the reason that it matches some of the other kit.

Normally use Hope but don't want to spend that much - any other suggestions or recommendations, needs to be fit & forget (or as close to it)

I think a CK on a commuter is asking for it to be nicked 🙂

Any one else got any suggestions or recommendations (or indeed advice to definitely not buy one of the three I mentioned!)

FSA Orbit XL 2 plus one...

I had one last two years with no love at all used daily in all weathers. Was still working fine when I replaced the bike!
