Let us know how you get on with this also interested are you going to race your bike?

Yes, the main purpose for that bike is going to be racing. Due to the lower gearing and lower weight than my current bike I think I'll also take it to the Pyrenees next year for the Raid.
Will post a review once I've got some races and distance covered.

Not great for cycling. They don't manage sweat very well.
Find them great as a t-shirt replacement to keep warm when doing jobs outside or going to matches or something like that.
I got them as low as €1.99

Thanks they've arrived anyway so I'll try them out not like the under armour i have so time will tell

It gets great reviews. Total including delivery is £34.95, so that's about €44.

I've checked a good few other cycling websites, the best alternatives are:

Bike-Discount have a similar torque wrench for €33.90, add delivery and it will be €41.85. It gets good reviews as well.

Wiggle have one for €36.54, but there are no reviews

Chain Reaction Cycles have a torque wrench but with no bits for €31.99. It gets good reviews as well.

A bargain alert if sorts. Garmin UK offer 25% off purchases, excluding their power meter system, to triathlon England members.

It costs £20 to join TE as a non racing member and is onen to Irish addresses.

I picked up a 920xt last week for about €360.

They always seem to under estimate the currency conversion though

AmberGold · 22-12-2014 08:56PM

Do Visa not do the currency conversion?

They do but in my experience its not the Ribble quoted price.

if you are getting delivery to parcelmotel the surely it is the parcelmotel postcode in newtonards bt364pe or whatever.
BTW does anyone know of an alternative to parcelmotel. Used to be a big fan but they seem to have lost the plot this Xmas.

Alek · 23-12-2014 01:35AM

Why?

Some people have been experiencing long delays with the delivery of their items in the run up to Christmas.

They're suffering from a huge increase in product awareness but unfortunately don't seem to have capacity to cope with it. They've had temporary motels setup outside existing ones for a few hours during the day to cope with the increase in volume they're seeing for the holidays.
