I think its the medium one. I did not think the thread had to be changed? I am using the new vikan mono at present, was happy with it to start with, but after a couple of weeks it takes ages to get rid of bird muck, seems too soft,  so have gone back to my old Gaz brush, much better!!

i have just compared mine to your pic, the £5 looks the same, except the edges on the salmon are rounded

That brush in the picture is really heavy and i mean the vikan would seem bliss compared to it.

I had the non lightweight gaz brush and it's the same weight as the vikan about 1 lb, the lightweight are much lighter but dont last long before the bristles go :(

The £5 seems a good price till you add delivery on.... £6.50 + vat :o

i have only been using mine for 3 days and in the rain when muck is normally easier to move, i agree too soft when scrubbing, so i phoned ionics about their new crinkle brush.... they have stopped doing them due to demand!!

i think the top link is for a pack of 4 (at least i am hoping it is!), so i'll pay the £6.50 delivery, putting my old gaz back on until they arrive!

cheers fellas.......

so is the general opinion that the brush will screw directly onto my plastic adjustable goose neck, i thought gaz used to add the cone because the thread was too small?

The top is the one i have, but in red. I thought the brush screwed straight onto the adjustable gooseneck? Not sure though??

Gaz added the cone to give the brush extra reach going over sills. Superb.

when will a company make a brush with an abrasive edge fitted to the side of the bruush outer frame,you could rub at the bird mess just the same as the side egde of a trad applicator. simple
