    Not sure how you choose a winner for these competitions, whether it’s random or based on the quality of the response or need that is expressed. If it’s the latter, I would really like this tool kit for passing onto my son, who has his bike at uni but he often gets problems with it and he’s been using it for earning delivery money. If it’s a random pick, I’ll just take my chances along with everyone else. Cheers, Les
