^^^Yes silly Q (your own words

)
You will only get that info (whether they will ship to Ire and the fee) from looking on the sellers site. Register with PM and it's delivery from the UK to Ireland via PM in NI for less than €4!

Silly question
Not wide to workings of parcel motel and on my phone at present...if I order it for delivery for ROI address they'll still ship I presume for a fee? Rather than go to register etc...and then say they won't ship??

Yeah I think delivery to Ireland is £10, so PM defo a cheaper solution! Better price per unit again if you buy two as I think the site had £ 5 off if you spend £ 50, plus only one PM fee too. Actually no you'd need to spend another 2p!!

Can't get this to work though as the site doesn't allow me to have different billing and delivery address countries. Or am I doing it wrong?

Make your billing address the same as delivery address. Works for me.

Tried that but the payment doesn't go through then...

Ok got it sorted. Used PayPal in the end. As if I needed another jacket...

joey100 · 05-10-2015 10:21am

Some decent prices on sales stuff in Cycleways Parnell street, think the sale is still going on. Was in there on Friday and got 2 winter jackets for 100 euro. Plenty of long bottoms, gloves and other jackets there too. Many specialized stuff. Seemed to be more of the larger sizes when I was in.

Got an order cancellation email earlier as they were flooded with requests and didn't have enough stock. Hope someone else managed to get the deal!

Same here. Bad form and they can stick their £5 voucher too.

The Noble Nudge · 05-10-2015 1:42pm

Ah feck it got refunded as well today on the Altura jacket...that's the 3rd refund in a week because of stock and website issues!!
Pity I want one now.......

37e per tyre with free shipping is almost as good as from German sites, innit?

lennymc · 12-10-2015 12:16pm

alternatively, buy 5 of these and have them delivered for less

http://www.bike24.de/1.php?content=8;product=3761;menu=1000,4,22,35;mid=0;pgc=0;orderby=2

I use these and find it very hard to actually notice any difference between these and the gp4000.

Alek · 12-10-2015 1:25pm

Their sidewalls are not as supple and they're not as grippy , otherwise they are fine.

I have only limited experience with UltraSports (had them on my bike for 2 weeks or so, on GP4000SII now), but I would not commit myself to them for a year, for approx. 20e saving. (I would need to pay 32e a pair + shipping for the 28mm version.)

I have several bikes and go through tyres quite a bit, so I guess it would be quite expensive for me to use a premium tyre. I got about 500 kms out of the last gp 4000 I had (stupid glass)

Bought a pair of these off Rosebikes yesterday, €32.95 vs €38.27 from Wiggle per tyre. Delivery from Rose is €8.95 to Ireland so if you're buying two, you save about €1.70 from using Rose. Every little helps!

Or as I was shown recently if you register with a new email address on the Rose website and sign up for their newsletter you get € 10 off your (min € 50) spend (more than covers their postage) plus a random free gift on your first order.

I got a medium (must have been the last) and was happy with the colour

... keep an eye on it though, 3 weeks ago they had large and medium, they sold out and had only small for awhile, this morning they were showing medium.

That's grand, less competition

tigerboon · 13-10-2015 10:34pm

Lots of second hand bikes for sale where you cross the border on the N54 on Saturday. Beside where the fireworks are sold. Might be a more suitable thread here somewhere

romperstomper · 13-10-2015 11:08pm

second hand bikes? would you say they were legitimately sourced?

Maybe it's just keeping the overhead down by selling on the side of the road on a border crossing

Cyclocross Wide/Narrow chainrings for £20.79 + £3 shipping to Ireland = 32 euro

The lad on the border crossing on the n54 at Legakelly is legitimate. He must be in business there well over 30 years. Got my first bike from him nearly that time ago.

What's the story with those and front derailleurs - does it mean one ring up front only?

Alek · 14-10-2015 10:27am

They're for a single front ring setup (1x9, 1x10 etc.) - their specific design minimizes chances of dropped chain.

lennymc · 14-10-2015 10:33am

I got one of the superstar components chainrings - looks well made. Havent had an opportunity to try it out yet. i paid about 40 inc delivery last week.

Alek · 14-10-2015 10:34am

Did you get 38 or 40? What cassette are you using?

lennymc · 14-10-2015 11:00am

38 with an 11-28 on the rear. This isnt bargain talk tho so we should probably move to another thread.

Ardennes1944 · 15-10-2015 10:05am

I know theres a new model and I have not looked to see if this is a good price anymore but

Don't see any availability now at any Irish stores.
Still available in UK, could get my brother to collect but £189 works out at €266 so not as good a deal as here.

They probably only had one. They are of the opinion that if your willing to pay €229 for it and it's not there, you'll possibly spend the money on some other product instead (which hasn't been reduced)

Interesting concept. The tooth profiles alternate, and this somehow 'locks' the chain on the ring?

Mind you, if you're going single chainring, I don't know why you don't just have a humongous chain guard on either side of the ring, and then you have no chance of a derail at that end. But I'm not earning the big bucks designing fancy bike components, so what do I know!

Alek · 17-10-2015 8:09pm

Yes, narrow teeth fit exactly in between inner plates of the chain, wide teeth between the outer ones.

I don't know why you don't just have a humongous chain guard on either side of the ring,

They would catch a lot of mud and lock your drivetrain in the middle of the race, I guess

There are solutions like this for downhill MTB though.
