    I've the previous version of that and find it excellent.

    Out of interest too.. I was in Pyrenees cycling a few weeks back and it was fairly chilly. I had a regular Under Armour "coldgear" top under my Castelli jacket and I found it fine.. did indeed get sweaty and cold as a result, and was difficult getting back going again after the coffee stops; but no different to how my DHB merino buff was.. i.e. was just as damp and cold.

    Anyone add on the benefits the merino base layer may have over the under armour top etc?

    Thanks.. I am tempted by the DHB merino top but wondering is it another way of stripping more Black Friday cash out of me.. :eek:

    This could be an expensive week.. :D

    At risk of being 'this is not a bargain!'ed, the major difference is being able to wear merino for several days with no bad smells. Merino does not dry very fast, and is no better, in my experience, than UA or other poly**** plastic tops in terms of wicking. But it's cosy to wear off the bike, too!

    Extra info on the Elite Zumo.
    It's very much the same as told by the Elite rep in the comment section of DC Rainmaker review. Not many units with hardware revision 1 and 2 were sent out or gone by now. Halfords stocks the latest which is rev. 3 manufactured in July 2019 and the firmware is the second last, can be upgraded to the latest. So should be all good for the future user.
    I'm looking forward to trying the trainer as this weather it's not for me.

    I See the Hammerhead Karoo is discounted to €229 for black Friday. I have been contemplating a move from garmin to this or the sigma. This price is tempting

    I got an Elite Zumo yesterday. I ordered on line and went to collect it. I asked about getting the AXA discount so I got another 15% of . so I got it for €411.00 in total


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 23,262 Mod ✭✭✭✭godtabh


    i wonder is it worth getting a 3 sim for 10% off also

    I see the voucher is readily available on line. Is the voucher all that they need?

    maybe an option if anyone is looking for some cheap SPD compatible shoes (but i suspect the chances of them ever having been at €105 are nil) - there's not much of a recess for the cleat though, so a bit of duck walking is probably likely. in sports direct, spotted these in charlestown.

    Carrickmines have asked me to produce the card, and show to CCTV behind the counter the last two times I've used my axa discount. Used to be just a quick look of it.

    Works out at €237.31 with the current exchange rate.......just after pulling the plug on one. Thanks for the tip off.

    Yes.

    That Halfords code has a 30th November expiry though.

    Stolen Goat have 30% most things. Their Orkaan Jerseys are very highly regarded as a Gabba alternative. Short sleeves are between 65-70 and available in various sizes. Long sleeves are bit more limited size wise and about £20 dearer

    https://stolengoat.com/

    Is there a code needed as no discount appearing for me?

    There's a button at checkout to add the discount

    Saw that after. What's sizing like compared to the likes of a gabba?

    A set of Cyliq Fly12, Fly6 and 2 32GB SD cards to go with them for €355 including delivery from Cycliq themselves. I've been waiting for a price drop on Amazon but this works out much cheaper than anywhere I've seen lately.

    Hi

    just wondering if anyone has spotted a deal on MIPS helmets for road cycling - i had one ordered from Evans at 95 pounds - a giro cinder one, but it got damaged in transit and was sent back by the courier. they couldn't ship another one as that was the last one in stock at that price. so still on the look out.

    The Cinder is here https://www.merlincycles.com/giro-cinder-mips-road-bike-helmet-2019-129026.html for £109, alternatively, while availability varies depends on size, some other options for you....

    What about VAT and duty on these? There was a time the shipped from outside of EU.

    Edit: seems to be included but I would be wary on the duty front.
    Good deal! Thanks to OP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,370 ✭✭✭✭Hurrache


    That's something that never dawned on me! Although it does ask you to confirm your country but I dunno if that makes a difference, I hope bloody not.

    Edit, the goods are shipped from Hong Kong, I guess they will be subject to duty?

    When I add a fly12 to my cart it says: "Total
    (includes EUR 38.40 VAT estimated for Ireland)"

    Now just need to justify spending 200quid
