Anyone got a view on what is decent/reasonably priced to use whilst cycling?
Have read a lot about them but don't know which to use.
Thanks

Ooh, I had no idea - thanks for that! I'm sure it only needs a very
tiny boost to work from the other side, given it works reliably from
it's current position - but I'd like to move it to avoid breaking
