Cotton Buds
Perfect for getting grime out of jockey wheels. Steal from bathroom.
Toothpaste
Makes a good mild abrasive for getting out minor scratches. Steal from British Airways.
Talcum Powder
Regular readers will know I don't 'do' inner tubes, but if I have to I'll be sure to use some talc. Steal from chemist.
Hair Spray
Great for sticking on mtb grips. Steal from the missus.
Clear Nail Varnish
Works well as a touch up for chipped carbon. Buy your own & make sure it's hidden from the missus.
Washing Up Liquid
Goes well with degreaser for a potent bike cleaning mix. Also of use for mouting tubeless mtb tyres. Steal from the kitchen.
Sudocreme
A much cheaper alternative to Assos chamois crème. Steal from your baby / buy your own & pretend you have a baby.
Napisan
Another hot tip from the baby crew- this detergent will freshen up stinky kit. Steal from the maid (hmmm).
Milton
Will get rid of any nasty build ups in your Camelbak. Steal from your Mum.
WD40
Great value all in one bike polish / lubricant for moving parts. Not up to scratch for chains, and not as good as GT85 but a good reserve item easily found around the world. Steal from Dad.
Johnson's Babywipes - make sure it's the blue, not the pink (they're a different formula). Brilliant for bike cleaning and getting dirty chain oil off your hands, chain or furniture... Steal from PnS
