Is it just me whose heart skips a beat this time of the year when they get the notification that there is new posts in this thread?
Every time I reckon this is the one bargain that is finally going to cause a divorce (maybe next time I'll get lucky )
I know in my heart of hearts that I will buy a shed load of unecessary stuff between the black friday and christmas/New year sales.

Keep up the good work scouring the internet guys and Girls.

MOD VOICE: I 100% agree but to stifle the onslaught of reports about your post, it is best not to post unless it is about a bargain or discussing a bargain or else the mods get a load of reported messages complaining that posters heart skipped a beat for no reason.I don't care but some people are really touchy about it. On a similar note, if I ever want a divorce, i will just show my partner the list of things I bought and never mentioned.

Itek "go-pro" clone for €30.

It is 1080p, very little information beyond that in terms of battery etc.

Think I might pick it up regardless, as a preventative measure mainly. Hoping seeing that on top of my helmet will reduce close passes/bad behaviour. Hope it is not heavy.

Edit:

Seems it is indeed lightweigh - 54grams.

Littlewoods also selling it for €34 and they include specs. 90mins battery, waterproof to 100m, and .12 lbs (=54 grams)

This is a generic chinese cam that can be had for 15 quid or so from aliexpress/ gearbest etc etc. They are generally quite good to be honest, that battery life will be optimistic though.

It comes with a proper warranty in the sense that you can return it within say a year or so should it fail.
Doubtful the Chinese sites would entertain that time length though.

Definitely not. Any of them I've had have been reliable, they're pretty bulletproof in the waterproof housing.

Elite Zumo for £399 in UK Halfords inc NI

https://www.halfords.com/cycling/turbo-trainers/trainers/elite-zumo-smart-interactive-turbo-trainer

Gets quite a high rating from GPLama

Actually it's come down in the south as well €478 which is pretty much the same price if you take the different VAT rate into account.

No idea, but presumably they are all the same hardware and firmware can be easily updated via an app

Good review on the fit file podcast from the guys anyway.

Garmin RTL510 Radar tail-light now 40% off at Amazon UK

This one is a good deal brighter than the original. I thought radar was a gimmick until I used it and now I'm convinced. No use on the commute, but great on country roads.

Got one and wore it to the rugby yesterday under the jersey and it was much better than any base layer I've used before.

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..

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.
