Garmin Edge 200 is 90e on Halfords website.

Plus if you spend 100e you get 10e off.

Any clues as to what the price is? Quite literally cannot see one on that link without being spammed by popups insisting on an email signup.

Thanks. Two excellent reasons not to bother signing up for their site.

Totally agree. Possibly the most annoying website I've ever seen. In the future if you do ever want to have a look at the website without getting spammed a temporary email address may help.

they are/were the aero race version with the Progetto pad. way better than the normal kiss they have on the lower end models. was a really good price for them considering they are 160+ in most places and definitely in B&M shops in ireland.

however, i see wiggle have them on sale for slightly more.

it's not that bad. you get one daily email with their deals, which are usually higher end sports gear. it's less than you get from amazon and sites like sportsdirect

Agreed. Worth it for the deals I've gotten.. I'm usually a medium size in most things, hence the fastest to sell out so the email reminded is handy if something catches my eye.

They have a fairly consistent stream of Lezyne lights every now and again and I've picked up a few of those. You just have to watch the shipping though as if it's only one thing you're buying it can push it up to the same price as CRC/Wiggle etc who have faster and free delivery.

I don't get any spam emails from Amazon or Sportsdirect...

The emails may not be that bad but preventing me from viewing your website unless I sign up is annoying and comes across as a bit dodgy.

omri · 22-07-2015 10:48AM

If anyone is interested all4cycling.com has €10 off if you spend €99 - tDF11 or €20 off if you spend €199 - tDF22

you're more diligent about your email preferences than i am so..:)

having to sign up before seeing the deals has been the norm at every group buy site i have seen. no diffferent at sportpursuit, which is a group buy site and not a regular order from stock store.

the only difference between it and other group buy sites is it tends to have the higher end stuff at decent discounts, rather than jsut selling cheap muck like the other sites.

the cost of getting the discounts on the decent gear is, as you say, having to sign up first. up to everyone whether that is acceptable i guess.

Given they only have stock for 7 days, the daily email is easier than having to visit the site regularily

Also re the sportpursuit - read their returns&refunds conditions as they might differ comparing to regular shops.

Just a comment. I have no idea about the Argos one but I bought cheap straps in Aldi (bluetooth) and Lidl (watch) and they proved difficult to get a proper signal off. I have used Polar in a gym with 100% success. False economy maybe?

jamesd · 22-07-2015 01:13PM

I've returned stuff to them with no issues.

Check the dates, got a box for v cheap before because they were out of date in a few months

Boscoirl · 24-07-2015 08:01PM

Do they go off? Are they not just mostly sugar?

I got a 2for1 deal on a box of them last year, only used a few, still have over 80% of them I would imagine.

The best before date is the end of August I think.

only 3g of sugar per sachet.
the do have an end date and unless your are racing or doing 200km days there is no need to use them.
what flavor have you? might take them off you

mossym · 24-07-2015 08:15PM

i wouldn't sweat the BB date. nothing in them to really go off.have used them well past their dates with no issues

You're better off eating real food on a 200km day.
