"to cheap to pay for a witty title" or a correctly spelled one :P

But, but, but - the last thread was only 667 pages long.

At least the first thread ended on a great bargain!!

CramCycle

Good spot, also the short sleeve road race suit is also discounted down to €100. Choose the camo version for UCI compliance (less obtrusive Bioracer logo)

This is a super specific bargain alert, but Halfords Naas have a few sets of Shimano M520 spd pedals in a bargain bin for €20. Cheapest I've seen online is about €30

fat bloke

Is it me or are there shag all proper bargains around these days. Remember the days there'd be an unmissable half price wheelset offer or something?

Anyway, this might get things back on track, great deal if you ask me.

Campag Potenza (ultegra equivalent) 11 speed groupset for 570 quid. Ultra posh winter build or 2021 race bike

https://www.merlincycles.com/campagnolo-potenza-ho-11-speed-groupset-97366.html

Not sure if these are much cop, randomly spotted while looking for stuff for myself only in size 7 (40.7) €47.95. Next cheapest I saw was 80 on chainreaction.

Garmin Varia on Probikeshop for 155.99 + delivery. It was cheaper when the new one first launched but I haven't seen it this low in a while. I've never seen a product with better reviews I think.

Last version but the only real difference with the new RTL 515

expires 19th October. works out about 110 for annual subscription, ticker retails about 50 quid. you get a code in your inbox after subscribing.
Sufferfest itself is a nice alternative to zwift, and the training plans look OK, with yoga, strength and mental resiliance plans. A year and hrm for 110 quid is good value imho, and something differnt as we go into lockdown 2. Lockdown harder.

Aldi have these cordless fans reduced to clear for €40. Probably not available in every shop.

I've been using one since March on the turbo as I've set it up away from power. Comes with two batteries, I get two turbo sessions at full speed out of each before recharging.

Really nice deals on pro saddles on bike24
https://www.bike24.com/saddles.html?menu=1000%2C4%2C37&__qf_form-filter=&mid%5B134%5D=1

Picked up the falcon carbon saddle for 66€ https://www.bike24.com/p2187625.html?menu=1000,4,37

Pro is shimanos brand of components so usally good quality of the price and is now even cheaper

Afaik
The falcon fits like the arione - flexible
Turnix like the aliante - mid flexibility
Griffon like the antares - less flexibility

They also have a 30 day return policy if the saddle doesn't fit

They are also selling a pair of Ryan Mullens personalized bontrager shoes. Not sure I could pull these off even if they were the right size

As they are 50% off they may still constitute a bargain

I have the tubular version on my cx bike, no problems in : years of racing. At that price, I’d even use them as a training wheel on a half decent bike.

They wouldn’t be as good as zips, but as bang for buck, they are good value IMO

I see a few reviews about spokes breaking very easily, any experience of tha yourself? I have the RPs from 2018 and love them but i believe they are a grade higher than the RRs and am looking for a wheel upgrade for my commuter so spokes breaking would write these off!

ballyharpat

I think the main difference between the wheels is the bearings. .
They do have excellent customer care, no, I’ve had no issues with spokes, but having said that, I’m looking for a set of wheels myself, that I can use for winter riding and touring, I’m probably gonna go with hunt or scribe, but I’ll be keeping an eye out for deals on Black Friday.

Decent offer this so cheers. Bought a 15 pack of gels, got another 15 pack free and they add another 6 pack of gels free of charge also. Plenty of bang for your buck.

Wiggle have a reasonably decent price on Tiagra chains (10 speed) at €14.78 https://www.wiggle.co.uk/shimano-tiagra-4601-10-speed-chain?prevDestCountryId=6&curr=EUR&dest=6

They've kicked off their black friday campaign had a quick look around though nothing jumped out other than the chance of replenishing the spares box above

Thanks. I have gp 5000s on at the moment, good tyre but very poor puncture resistance. 2 flats in one month so going to give the 4 seasons a shot.

MojoMaker

Very good tyre. Paid €30 each earlier this year but I guess like most things they've gone up with Covid.

CantGetNoSleep

Quite rare that you see reductions on gravel bikes and all sizes still in stock - but a good price on the Ridley Kanzo A with Sram Apex 1 from Wiggle.

I was about to order until I saw that it has mechanical disc brakes & didn't feel like going to the hassle of an upgrade

4 Season's are fantastic tyres.. ran them for 2 years all year around (no issues or punctures) on Ksyrium Elite's and then went to GP5000 Tubeless on Cosmic Pro's this year. Love the comfort of the Tubeless GP5000's but do need to top them up before every ride and I am seeing some nicks in them that may well turn into something worse in weeks to come.

Fitting them to the Cosmic Pro's was a heartache.. don't ever fancy having un-sealable puncture as it will definitely be a call home!

Going to put the Ksyrium's back on for winter.. and do like the look of the new 4 Seasons Black editions so may get 2 of them to keep that stealthy look.

The 4 Seasons have generally come from Wiggle or Amazon (got 2 on a warehouse deal for £17 each.. ) but only seem to be readily available in 28's via some of the German sites at moment.. Bike24 and BikeDiscount etc.

Can you confirm that these are in fact carbon bars and are delivered from Italy.
