This from Wiggle looks kinda similar, though I can't vouch for the quality.

Sorry I think that is also out of stock.

This from evans Cycles has good reviews.

I recently bought that very toolkit from my LBS (Cycle Surgery in Dundrum) for €46.

Great little kit which has more than enough tools for my limited mechanical prowess.

It nothing else it's worth it to have the tools to take off your chain and cassette to give them a proper clean. No more hours of heartbreak with a toothbrush

Just wondering have you bout from CRC lately. I googled them and there seems to have been issues regarding credit card details being used fraudulently in the past??

Bought a bit of winter kit last week, forgot about that CC issue TBH. Only suspicious transactions on the credit card to date by Mrs. Surveyor11:eek:

I've always paid with Paypal when purchasing from CRC and have had no problems to date.

I think the issue arose if you had paid CRC directly. Your credit cards details were then on CRC's database which was compromised and then the fraudulent transactions started. There's a thread all about it here.

Bottom line, when buying from CRC use Paypal and you'll be OK.

Sorry correction, paid with Paypal so no issues
