Mullet Cycles? Sure that name has popped up before.

Oh yes, very entertaining 😀

That Crud Cloth ...
For years I've taken a damp flannel in a tupperware box in the back of the car for winter rides. Damp the flannel with boiled water in the morning and you'll have a warm cloth to wipe your face after riding.
Only now have I learnt it is a branded thing and not just a damp flannel!

You could have made your fortune by now. Might have needed some more sophisticated branding than "not just a damp flannel" though.

I tried to like the Pit Vipers but their lenses give me a headache. The mudslinger 🙁

“not just a damp flannel”

Haven't such things been available for quite a while?

Now I do try not to be one of the How Much? brigade, folks can splash the cash in whatever way they please, but it the price of that Magura torque rench isn't a typo that's redonkulous.

Flask of hot water and a small towel, very refreshing. Obviously you have to remember to take it with you but that's the same with all kit. A lot more sustainable than a wet-wipe in a plastic bag.

I had to scroll back and check the price again, so mad! But I guess it gets your olives sorted.......................

I could be tempted by the $20 bit that has the cutout but reality is I’ve not had a problem using a spanner

@Matthew Hornby

Magura tool... based on the bottom of the packet it is a rebranded CDI product (owned by Snap-On)

catalogue page 103:

The CDI branded product is quite a bit cheaper! 54 bucks!

For some reason we were given a screenshot rather than a link to TOTW, WHY??? A firing squad offence in my book.

Yes, turning your bike upside-down is a heinous, nay egregious, crime. It marks you out as a rank beginner with no respect for your machine whatsoever. The sole exception is placing upside-down bikes across a trail to indicate an accident has happened. IMHO.
