PSA for most europeans: LIDL sells the same 2-24nm torque wrench you see on aliexpress for half the price under their brand crivit. Typically 22ish euros on ali, picked one up for 13 locally. Tested against my BBB torque wrench with shit bits, they measure the same. Also better customer support I suppose. I think that's insane value. Example here: https://www.lidl.fr/p/crivit-cle-dynamometrique-pour-velo/p100387459

Damn. Two weeks back it was only limited quatities and 20 euro in Latvia.

Maintenance, Mechanics, & Tools / Re: What bike lock do you use?

You can get a Soldsecure diamond rated bike lock for like 30$, that only can be defeated, in a realistic timeframe, with an angle grinder. If you are worried about weight then getting a smaller lock probably is the way to go rather than a "slimmer one". If/when you need to lock up wheels use an additional cable.

I bought a OnGuard Brute for like 30 euro.
