I won't be buying my triathlon pals new wheels this christmas..but would like to buy something cheap that makes a genuine difference. Lace-locks is my first instinct..can anyone else suggest great little buys for under £10 that they've found to be an indispensible piece of kit?

Aldi tri suit for £9.99, running socks £2.99
how about a bike computer - from about a fiver if you shop around, don't listen to the mags that say you have to spend £50
Hey, these are all great things to put on my xmas list!

+1 elastic laces (xtenses would be my preference)
Ade
Safety pins
Swim cap
Nuun
SIS gels
Race belt
Inner tubes
tub of Nuun is prob the best thing ever for under a tenner....
regarding elastic laces.... go to millets or some other outdoor shop and buy the thin bungee cord they sell for £1.99 for 10m then make your own laces from that... so much cheaper than the lock laces you buy and its exactly the same stuff! Thats what I use anyway.
Valve extensions are also a good investment under a tenner, only if your friends run deep rims though.... as i found out at a recent event that if you get a puncture and you cant use the extender on your punctured tyre your race is over!
