I couldn't find this anywhere else for price comparisons or reviews of this so it'd be a bit of a gamble. The Bicycle Line branded stuff which I did come across seemed to be quite reasonably priced so the claimed RRP of €159.95 may be a bit of a stretch.

€59.95 + €7.99 P&P

Cyclesuperstore Wednesday Deal.

TommyTheGun · 12-10-2011 06:55PM

hi guys,

does anybody have any experience or views on this jacket. I might take the plunge before the deal espires.

I have an altura night vision fleece type jacket and not sure it will be enough for the winter.

also, im 92kg, 6ft, would a L be ok sizewise or a XL?

Thanks,
Tom

TommyTheGun · 12-10-2011 08:17PM

anybody?

anybody bought one even?

And, does anyone know if i could return for exchange/refund if it's not what i expect?

Thanks,
Tom

Does "Showerproof" mean not all that waterproof?

Dont know the particular jacket, but I have some Bicycle Line gear and its fine ...
I dont think you can reasonably expect a refund if you simply dont like it - though CSS are generally good and will likely offer a credit against something else. I'm sure there wouldn't be any issue getting an exchange if you go for the wrong size, assuming they have stock of the correct size.

Nice that someone else is doing a weekly deal but I'd stay well away from the Knog product this week. I got a loan of one of them to change a tyre a few months back and they're pretty bad, the hex keys are very short and the body of the tool is tiny so it's very hard to get any decent leverage, I ended up having to wrap the spare tube around my hand to prevent the body of the tool ripping me to pieces.

Any shops around dublin have any good sales on clothing does anyone know?
I need to get a pair of shorts (s) specifically.

Mine just arrivewd so it obviously hasn't been tested yet. First impressions are very good though. Usually I'd be a small but Medium was the smallest size available and thank f%@# for that as it's very small fitting. It's too heavy for the temperatures which we're currently experiencing. The rear pocket with the zip has an internal hole to accommodate a headphones lead. Nice touch.

I'd chance my arm anyway.

I got a Bike Buyers guide off them for half price, same thing they said it was for UK only but it got delivered to my door, along with some bike maintenance book i never ordered, i did have to send them an email though saying i didn't receive the Buyers guide off them after 2 wks.

Have one of those on the way to me already, seems good value. Good reviews too on the web.

Craft Bib Shorts €27.60 (60% off).
Bought a pair myself a couple of days ago but haven't arrived yet so can't comment on quality.

Bambaata · 19-10-2011 11:12PM

anyone know what the sizing on those craft bibs is like? also whats with the probikekit handling charge!!? ive placed two orders with them in the last week. 1 had a charge, the other didnt. ive a few things in the cart now and they want a £4 handling charge! reluctant to even pay that as it seems a poor way of tacking on a few euro onto the goods!

If you purchase both items seperately you'll get them both for €46.

mikerd4 · 20-10-2011 11:42AM

Is the aldi/lido stuff not made by craft?

That's weird, they 46 before tax when I look at it. Meh, have enough jerseys anyway.

Anyone know if those Craft Bibshorts are any good. I'm guessing they're not great considering the price but might come in handy as a spare set over winter

let us know when you get it, might take a punt on it but not so sure of sizing (chest etc will fit, might be a bit short)

ThisRegard · 20-10-2011 03:22PM

Anyone on the lookout for track pumps and around north/west Dublin could check out TK Maxx, they have two tracks pumps by a company called Canyon, doubt it's the bike manufacturers. They have a standard one for €34.99 but also this electronic one
