The standard size m18 is £69.99 on Chain Reaction add another £5.01 worth of stuff and get £10.00 off using code JAN19.

They are heavy and so more designed to be left in one place. I have one in work and one at home.

That voucher code wont work for me

Hmm. It’s the one on the banner of the website. Make sure you are paying in sterling and they your total is at least £75. I’ve always gotten a better rate from my bank by paying in sterling rather than the CRC rate.

You might also be able to avail of the new customer discount if you use an email address that you haven't used on the site before.

Edit: Aw crap. Apologies. It is on clearance items only. I just noticed that now.

That's right, though you could do whatever's going on in this picture too :eek:

I see it's gone completely from the Argos UK site. The reviews were positive, the one caveat being it doesn't come with any wall plugs or screws.

Any good deals on GP4000s (preferably 25s) at the minute?

Haven't seen anything and was keeping an eye out ever since the release of the GP5000s in expectation that there would be great offers. Best was around €36 a tyre I think.
In the interm I bought a 23c Michelin Lithion 2 in grey last week for €16 to tied me over as my Mavic tyre was down to the canvas after only 4k km. Had the Michelins years ago prior to using GP4000s and they were decent enough.

In honour of the original post in this thread.

Team Sky Clearance sale. From their own store. Lots of stuff 60% off eg Castelli bibs £36.

wheelo01 · 05-02-2019 12:45AM

Screw the fact they say sky - are they any good? And is there £20 worth of difference between the two?
I'm in need of new bib shorts, would like an opinion.

secman · 05-02-2019 12:51AM

Wouldn't wear Sky if I was given it for free ! Even if they came with inhalers

Same for many people and the reason they sell it so cheap

irishrover99 · 05-02-2019 09:32AM

Any chance you could that the Sky of the bib shorts and without it leaving a mark?.
I believe some of the pro teams use Gabba jerseys when the weather is **** and take off the logo as they are not sponsored by Castelli

eeeee · 05-02-2019 10:30AM

Mod note: Can we take the particulates of the sky kit to their own thread please? And keep this for bargains. Ta.

Sky-aside, I would also be interested in the real difference. Reading about it, it seems biggest one comes with seat pad where the Volo version has a more traditional look and feel?

Kiss pad on the Volo is ok, grand for shorter stuff, commutes etc...
The Progetto 2 Air on the Aero Race is brilliant for longer efforts and at that price (once Sky-aside works for you) is a bargain.

What’s the catch? Some really cheap gear here

Grassey · 20-02-2019 10:41AM

Brexit Firesale!!!!

* Some stuff is grand, some falls apart, seems to be a bit of a lottery. I've bought gloves, socks, show covers etc on these deals, some are going strong 6 years later, some discoloured and fell apart after a month.

Ohh very tempted. Was looking at this for €500 in the LBS/. Postage is £30. £15 to NI but probably to big for PM.

I've bought wheels through Parcel Motel Oversize, it's €7 and you've to collect from the depot so depending where you are it's might be ok.

Laundry_Hamper · 01-03-2019 08:01PM

Parcel wizard are good for oversize boxes. I had a wheelset come in and paid the standard fare, €3.95 or whatever.

(mods: this is in fact a bargain!)
