This may be the most most ‘Dad’ thing we’ve ever put into Dirty Deals. A set of ten bungees complete with some sort of organiser backing card/wraparound thingy. Different length bungees, different coloured bungees, differing thickness bungess… For the bungee-aholic in your life.

Park I-Beam IB-3 multi tool – £24.99 – £16.99

A mountain biker can never have too many cool multi tools. We really rate I-Beam tools from Park Tool. They strike a great balance of useability, functions, weight and price. This is the one that has a chain tool so is arguably as loaded as anyone needs.

Sealskinz Road Thin Mid waterproof socks – £37.00 – £22.20

Arundel Dave-O Carbon bottle cage – £55.00 – £19.99

Although it’s white this bottle cage really is carbon. And as such it weighs in at a scant 30g! Arundel were one of the first to really sort out a decent carbon cage that actually worked and wasn’t too fragile or too stiff to actually, y’know, hold a water bottle with water in it(!). Huge discount on this at the mo.

X-Tools Pro magnetic bowl – £7.99 – £5.98

Cannondale Silicone grips – £14.99 – £11.99

Park Tool Big Blue Book of Bicycle Repair Vol 2 – £24.99 – £18.99

Spend money to save money. By getting someone this book you’re giving them the gift of self reliance and a vastly reduced bike workshop repaiur bill. You’re also giving them a better bike than they have already; a well maintained and set-up cheaper bike is much better to ride than an expensive bike that’s badly set-up or neglected.

Castelli Diverso socks – £17.99 – £10.79

If your Dad only ever gets his socks from TK Maxx or Aldi, treat him to some proper lush socks from the Italian fashionistas known as Castelli (ask a roadie). Well worth wearing both on and off the bike.

Topeak Ratchet Rocket Lite DX – £27.99 – £20.49

Sure, you CAN use this a multi-tool – or even a workshop tool – but the principal joy of this item is fiddling with it while you’re doing other things (watching telly, pretending to do work, sat in A&E etc etc). You might drive other people around you to distraction but that’s tough. An addictively clicky thing.
