Sorry to say but if this bike is called Sram Red, frameset and the rest is like a square peg in a round hole.
This bike doesnt make any sense. Is it budget bike or high level bike? None above is true.

Premium Garmin soft strap HR monitor 42 euro on Chain Reaction. Ordered one myself earlier.

For some reason they only seem to last me a year before going tits up. And yes, I have tried changing the battery...

But for 42 quid it's not the end of the world

Had the same issue. Turns out you need to short the possitive and negative terminals before popping in the new battery. Plenty of demos on youtube. Mine now on fifth battery and is 7 years old

Just to let you know, I ordered a pair size 43 which is a 9 and they were very tight. Sent back but not had in the bigger size. They did refund me. So I would go with a size up than normal if ordering again. I ended up going to LBS and spent nearly €90...

That seems like a savage deal on levers.

With the newer 8000 series out now, there are quite a few good deals to be got on 6800.

A few places have the Castelli Puro 2 jerseys reduced , CRC out of stock now that I go looking. Sigma have them for a bit more at €59.97 in S,M and XL

https://www.sigmasports.com/item/Castelli/Puro-2-Full-Zipped-Long-Sleeve-Jersey/EG7Z?&co=IRL&cu=EUR&glCountry=IE&gclid=Cj0KCQjwttbWBRDyARIsAN8zhbIslokOLYDfXEsBtGDjpCcpdw6Di029-X5w1n3SIu6eTmrOV0GNnBkaAm9GEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Anyone seen them cheaper?

Alek · 17-04-2018 02:17PM

Women's Castelli Gabba for between €50-60. Only L and XS available

Blue XS will be just a perfect present for my wife's b-day, thanks! She's normally XS, so the jersey may be tight fit - I just hope she will not confuse that Castelli sizing with some kind of hidden message....

retalivity · 17-04-2018 09:50PM

Saw an ad for Canyon's accessory outlet earlier, there a heap of stuff there, including heavily discounted poc gear and loads of components. Bit awkward to navigate but may be something for someone

Thanks lads, given the amount of accidents involving cyclist lately i also decided it was time to bite the bullet and but one - ive been using a dashcam in my car for a number of years now.

AmberGold · 20-04-2018 09:04AM

Stuck at €150 now..

The code (CLEAR2018) is still be advertised on their website!. Maybe email them.

The Fly12 is no longer on clearance though, hence the price being at 150, and the voucher not applying to it. Since the voucher is for 10 off 75, it was down to about €123 before for it to be as cheap as quoted, per the screenshot.

So the email will be effectively asking "Hey, I was too slow off the mark but any chance you can do me that offer anyway though?"

I've done it before. With a surprising degree of success too.
