ParticipantTorque wrenches for $25+ suitable for carbon frames instead of the $65 Park Tool one:

ParticipantFound a lower price than Amazon for IceToolz Torque wrench. It’s $25.60 with free shipping instead of $35 on Amazon:
https://www.walmart.com/ip/IceToolz-Ocarina-Torque-wrench-set-3-10-Nm/940536717
From the description, you select the torque value, then turn it until you hear a click.
Edit to add: Not sure if the sellers on Amazon or Walmart ship from the US, but on eBay you get the same from US shippers:

ParticipantModell’s Sports has two things that may interest cyclists:
1 – Tech fleece pants, with fleece on the inner layer and semi-windproof outer fabric. The bottom is cuffed so it wouldn’t get caught easily in the big chainring. I found that these are good for 20 to 45 degrees weather, with base layer(s) below 25 to 32. They are $20 each, or 2 for $30 as seen at Reston, VA store last Sunday 12/10. If you want to order them online, I suggest you choose “Midnight Blue” color. You can return them to any store if they are the wrong size.
2 – 3-in-1 System jackets are now $35. The warmest have fleece in both the inner and outer layer. Some have breathable inner layer designed for wamer climates, so inspect them in store. All have somewhat wind and rain proof fabric outer shell. These are good for 10 to 45 degrees weather, with base layer(s) below 25. At 10 degrees, I wear 5 layers including this jacket(2 layers) and I would stay warm. The only things I have trouble warming are my hands and feet.
Unfortunately, these say “Men” in the title. They don’t sell women version. I am not sure where I would find women version for under $100. I know REI has some for around $300, but that’s a big difference in price.

ParticipantSears is offering Seirus Ultra Clava(their warmest/thickest and windproof one) online only for $20, and only for the small/medium size. In store, it’s $35 along with the large/XLarge version. REI price is $36, and Amazon $26-$27. They also have $10 back in points if you spend $40.
If you have asthma, do frame painting, or try building a canopy with epoxy and carbon fiber sheets, then I suggest you get this professional respirator, which you can buy online or in store for $21. Price sticker may say $42, but price scanner says $21. Home Depot price is $40.

ParticipantThat’s a great price on the respirator and I’m actually in the market for one. How much does it impact breathing while riding?

I never opened mine yet, and I don’t think you could use it for heavy activity. What made a big difference for me is having an air purifier with UV lights at home, so my lungs could tolerate more junk.

ParticipantHome Depot is selling this bike pump for $5 that has double ended hose, one for Presta, the other for Schrader, and can handle up to 260 PSI. It doesn’t have a pressure gauge, or a bike mount, so use Velcro straps. It’s cheap enough not to worry about it being stolen. They also sell a floor pump for $15, but it has bad reviews.

ParticipantSaw a folding e-Bike for sale at Marshalls just outside Tysons Corner(Google Map link) for $300. It claims to have a range of 38 Miles with pedal assist, or 20 Miles without it. However, despite the side of the box indicating that’s an e-Bike, I don’t see any batteries. The first three photos are of that item. The last picture shows another model that I saw at Marshalls at Fair City Mall in Fairfax, VA(Google Map link), which you can tell it has a battery. However, the price sticker says $500. The website listed on the box, http://www.rideibike.com redirects to https://ridegenesis.com, and they are not listed anywhere, but saw some information at their FAQ page. The battery is out of stock, and I doubt that they will make more.
