how come there is no mention of the Catlike helmets on the Halfords website ?

kingdomlad · 20-02-2015 06:40PM

Picked these up a few weeks back. Great deal.

It's as if they got a delivery of Catlike helmets by accident, so they decided to keep them and sell them off cheap. It is bizarre in a way.

Every time I chat about possible incoming stock in any of the major out-of-town multiples (notably our Halfords' near neighbour, PC World), I get the impression that's pretty much how it seems to the people working there, too. They hear nothing from HQ; big lorry backs in, and offloads a bunch of stuff on them; they manage as best as they can with it.

I tried to pick up one of these catlike helmets in swords and Coolock and they didn't have the size I needed so ended up in euro cycles airside and they had these Lazer genesis helmets reduced from €170 to €68 so I got one of these and though it was worth a mention.
Seems like a really nice helmet.

Harrybelafonte · 21-02-2015 07:27AM

Can you remember what they had size wise for the Whispers in Airside by any chance? Would appreciate it.

RSP quest helmet 8.39 (plus delivery) on Planet X and on one. Not sure if they're any good or not, but might be worth it to someone.

http://www.planetx.co.uk/deals

Works out as 15,32€ plus delivery for me ... maybe you were using parcel motel?

I didn't include delivery, sorry might have been confusing. I'd have said inc. delivery otherwise. Might be worthwhile if buying a couple of things.

and €40 for a Shimano freehub but still a great price. I bought a set of Zondas last night, I'd have gone for the Elites if I'd known they were that price.

Around 40 euro, you can recoup some of the cost by selling the one you take off. Alternatively if you are using 11 speed Shimano you can just fit a campag 11 speed cassette, it works perfectly.

Nothing wrong with the elites but having a pair of both the zondas the better wheel all day long.. you chose wisely.

Glad to hear that as I was a bit sickened all day long after seeing the price of the Elites from Rose. Thanks.

Unknown Soldier · 22-02-2015 09:47AM

Rose also have these with a campy hub @ 247.05 Down from 549.00

http://www.rosebikes.com/product/detail/aid:675160

Meant to be a very good wheel. Ideal for "endurance" and come on the highest spec Canyon Endurace.

Plus if you are just signing up to Rose and choose the newsletter you get a 10e discount voucher.

lennymc · 26-02-2015 10:40AM

10 spd tiagra cassettes are normally <20 and are perfectly fine. I'm using them on most of my bikes at the moment.

Stevieg2009 · 27-02-2015 08:47AM

Zipp 60 wheelset arrived from pro bike shop 4day turn around 850 delivered included in that was a pair of conti gp 4000 great service
