    Tried to do a group order of 8 sets, order came through as 3 so
    I think thats the max. Don’t need any socks either which is a shame.

    Do Planet-X do free delivery above a certain basket value?

    Good spot, bought loads years ago when they were £2 each, but have been meaning to get some more as they’re useful for storing spare wheels as well.

    PX used to do free delivery over £50, not sure if they still do.

    If they’re the same as I bought, mind they don’t copy well with tyres much above 2.3

    Thanks so much for posting that, was about to pull the trigger.

    Any alternatives?

    Strange… My 29×2.6 butchers are fine with mine

    I would agree that they don’t cope well with wider tyres, my 26” x 2.35. are a squeeze. Also, the rubber cushion wears out pretty quickly so I had to replace all mine with fuel hose (10mm I think) from the local motor factor. Other than that they have been fine.

    I had to bend the hooks out on mine to accommodate 2.5 tyres. Otherwise they are fine 🙂

    @wzzz Why point people to Chinese sellers that do not support our economy and pay no tax rather than supporting UK-based retailers? Seems quite destructive.

    I have my 2.8s on one. Pull the foam sleeve off, chop a bit off the end and/or bend it out a bit, foam back on. Sorted.

    Wether you like it or not we live in a globalised society. We have not been an island for a very long time.

    AH no sorry – folding hook hangers are indeed 25pence each!

    “Wall fixings not supplied” but they’re 25 p a pack so you’re now up to 50p pehanger

    I like Planet X, and I’ve never had a problem with anything I’ve bought from them, but their postage costs have always been ridiculous.
    Last time I ordered from them I removed a couple of items as I’d triggered a higher postage payment and the total cost went from ‘good deal’ to ‘quite pricey’.

    showing 4 quid for me with 4 hooks in the basket, then 7 quid inc. the fixing kits. I wouldn’t use the fixing kits anyway as the plugs are crap so don’t bother with them. I used rawlplug UX (in stock in the cellar) when fitting mine to the shed wall (bricks).
