    Got the Virb this morning. Gosh, its heavy! I guess that helmet mount will rather stay in the drawer.

    But its not as big as I though.

    Let us know how you get on with this also interested are you going to race your bike?

    Yes, the main purpose for that bike is going to be racing. Due to the lower gearing and lower weight than my current bike I think I'll also take it to the Pyrenees next year for the Raid.
    Will post a review once I've got some races and distance covered.

    Not great for cycling. They don't manage sweat very well.
    Find them great as a t-shirt replacement to keep warm when doing jobs outside or going to matches or something like that.
    I got them as low as €1.99

    Thanks they've arrived anyway so I'll try them out not like the under armour i have so time will tell :)

    It gets great reviews. Total including delivery is £34.95, so that's about €44.

    I've checked a good few other cycling websites, the best alternatives are:

    Bike-Discount have a similar torque wrench for €33.90, add delivery and it will be €41.85. It gets good reviews as well.

    Wiggle have one for €36.54, but there are no reviews

    Chain Reaction Cycles have a torque wrench but with no bits for €31.99. It gets good reviews as well.

    A bargain alert if sorts. Garmin UK offer 25% off purchases, excluding their power meter system, to triathlon England members.

    It costs £20 to join TE as a non racing member and is onen to Irish addresses.

    I picked up a 920xt last week for about €360.

    They always seem to under estimate the currency conversion though

    See below.
    Please follow the steps below carefully to process an order online for delivery to the R.O.I.

    Please go to www.decathlon.co.uk
    At the top of the homepage you will see an option to select ‘MY STORE’
    Select this then choose ‘NORTHERN IRELAND’ and "BELFAST"
    This will bring you to the Decathlon Belfast website.
    Please select the items that you wish to buy and get delivered by selecting the blue option to ‘RESERVE&COLLECT’ not buy online. Please ensure that you always select to reserve and collect.
    Once you have added all the items to your basket we need you to select to buy an extra item - this is to cover the cost of posting and packing.
    On the home page at the top there is a search engine, type in 1480933. This will bring you to a mini blue bag at £4.99. Add this once to your basket. Don’t worry we will not send you the bags; this is only to cheat the system. This will be shown as delivery charges on your receipt upon delivery. (please note, if you are ordering anything heavy/bulky please let me know first so I can advise on a higher delivery charge. For example - bikes delivery charge £14.99)
    Once selected, add to basket then go to checkout.
    From this stage you can follow the process online to complete the payment of your order. Once you have finished there will be a number of emails sent to you regarding the collection of your items, please ignore these.
    Then you can reply to this email with your delivery address as it won’t ask for it online.
    Also if you are a Loyalty card member please send me the card number to collect your points. If not and you would like to sign up for a loyalty card please let us know in your reply so we can sign you up and send your card with your package.
    For any further information please do not hesitate to contact us 02890 422049 and speak to a member of the customer service team.

    if you are getting delivery to parcelmotel the surely it is the parcelmotel postcode in newtonards bt364pe or whatever.
    BTW does anyone know of an alternative to parcelmotel. Used to be a big fan but they seem to have lost the plot this Xmas.
