Tried Drogheda and still 89.99 region

Keeping an eye out for them myself

g0g · 01-09-2016 09:34PM

Appreciate the designs might not be for everyone, but I just bought a jersey from this seller on Aliexpress and have been pleasantly surprised with the fit and quality. I went one size up and L fits me well (186cm/83kg). Can't say it'll last 100 machine washes, but for $14 delivered I can't complain.

Also tried bib shorts (Cheji brand) from this supplier for $ 18. Went a bit mad and thought I'd need XXL based on their measurements, and they're defo not the most snug fit. That said, quality seems good enough and I don't think they'll disintegrate in the first rain shower.

Appreciate you might need fancy gear for long spins, but I've been happy using these on the commute so thought I'd share.

I'd get dizzy seeing that come at me.

Ribble have 30% OFF Handmade Italian tubular tyres Challenge Grifo. Might be usefully with the cross season coming up (no idea if they are any good).

Canyon have a sale on Road shoes. I don't think the sale has been announced yet, so a lot of sizes available.

https://www.canyon.com/en-ie/accessories/#category=specials&subcat=T083

You can use the dropdown on the top right to see the other sale items, MTB shoes, helmets etc.

Planet X have a "Fibonacci Sale" at the moment, some very good bargains.

Picked up 2 x Magicshine MJ858 lights. They have RRP as 100 euro, although Magicshine have it for 70 euro.

Still, the sale price is 43 euro!

Just watch out for shipping...I went with FREE shipping to the UK and seem to have been charged Irish shipping even though I went through parcel motel.

Thanks for this. I've stocked up on some stuff for Autumn/Winter. E-mail received yesterday to say it's picked and ready for shipping. Impressed with the speed!

Picked up a rather spiffing looking carnac helmet on planet x site in their fibernatchi sale

That's very expensive. I bought a full Ultegra 6800 groupset from Ribble in March 2015 for €570.

It's €635 if you're set to Ireland/Euro, but £485 (~€580) for UK/Pound :eek:

Not sure how big the box is that it ships in, but you can parcel motel it to get the UK pricing.

Long sleeved An Post jerseys reduced on Sean Kelly Cycling via Seans Twitter

Eponymous · 05-09-2016 03:15PM

Love the description:

This long sleeve jersey is perfect for Spring or Autumn wear. When combined with a long sleeve base layer and a full membrane waterproof and windproof Gillet it even makes a perfect winter jacket.

So it's great. Buy this and use it with three other things to make one good thing.

It's worth thinking about parcel wizard where packing size is questionable.
Got mudguards from Evans through PM . The box was twice the size of the mudguards and cost me €7 and a trip to Finglas.

Mine came in a box 35x36x21 cm. Got it for 590 off CRC back in March but their usual price seems to be around 650. Check all the sites, sometimes the cheapest ones don't have the full range of crank lengths, cassette sizes etc.

hey g0g... looking at ordering some stuff here

I'm a bit confused by the sizes - you say you went UP a size - according to your weight/height on their chart you would need XXL?

Yeah their chart is arseways. L was grand for a jersey but I'd say XL would have been better on the shorts. By UP I mean relative to the size I d normally take
