You have to laugh at these shops and their half RRP sales... reality is you could get this at this price or close any day since it was released if you buy online (Germany better these days since the euro went to hell). Still though..as good a price as any at the moment.

Very true. I bought full 6800 groupset inc inner/outer cables for €540 delivered from Ribble last January.

Ribble have an additional 20% of Kask Mojito & K5onta helmets. Code is KASK20

This is a very good price for the Mojito, brings it down to about €105. Haven't dealt with Ribble before, what are the delivery charges like? The helmet is listed as VAT-free because it's UK, will Irish VAT be added on meaning needing to use Parcel Motel?

Have been looking for one of these for a while now and the best price I can get in B&M shop is €117, which actually beats most of the online retailers by a mile!

ETA: Actually, scrap the above, Mojito not showing on their site today...

Crocked · 03-09-2015 01:12PM

The email mentioned it was limited stock and sizes, forgot to mention that. I'd say it was end of line stuff they were clearing out.

Bought a helmet off them last year with no VAT as far as I recall, didn't use parcel motel either. Delivery was about £5

Jim Stynes should have first shout on them but if he doesn't respond I will take those off your hands at 60.

not to confuse and not to say something they're not but Jim asked about the 4000S - thats the original version. The latest ones are the 4000S II in my opinion no better than the original but they do offer fancy colour strips. The ones I'm selling are the new originals

Any recommendations for good value winter kit? Just missed out on picking up any of the M stuff in that vermarc sale...

Can I just ask - why would I need one of these? (I promise I am not being smart) All my gear says wash without softener, so therefore, my gear is washed on it's own. Is there something I missed (or am missing?)

Up until a month ago I didn't know I needed them either

I did say "super good" care!

In general you don't need them but they probably will extend the lifetime of your garments.

I suppose it has a lot to do with abrasion and centrifugal forces?

If you are doing a mixed wash it protects your shorts, for example, from the zipper of your jersey. Or the velcro on a pair of gloves.

During a spin cycle it stops Lycra stretching.

There is a whole world of washing sh1t that I learned over the last few weeks. For example, I never knew you always had to zip up your zippers for anything while washing them.

Velcro is evil in a wash with other items. Both zippers and velcro slash the crap out of everything.

I always thought that those little loose threads on gear was par for the course but now I'm not so sure...

gambeta_fc · 06-09-2015 07:05PM

I use similar wash nets for same reasons you mentioned.

If you told me 10 years ago I'd be posting about my laundry technique on a web forum I'd tell you to get out of town ... getting old has changed me in unexpected ways!

Not strictly a bargain but could help you find one

Up to 60% off Sealskinz gloves on Sport Pursuit - http://www.sportpursuit.com/sales/sealskinz-sep15

Not sure whether to go for the All weather pair or the Winter pair.

Double check them on Wiggle, when you take into account exchange rate and P&P it's not cheaper than these

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/sealskinz-winter-cycle-gloves/

or all weather for 27.84 euro

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/sealskinz-all-weather-cycle-gloves/

thanks for the reminder though, i need to get the finger our and buy some winter gloves before the deals are gone

Indeed they are. Sport Pursuit has them for 27.93, so 9 cent more expensive than wiggle, before P&P. Good call sir.

I think my plan might have been scuppered... you need to spend 1.15c more on Wiggle to get free P&P.... how much is P&P with Sports pursuit?

It's a fiver for delivery and they won't be dispatched until at least the 1st week in October.
Reading through reviews on Wiggle, it looks like these may be the ones to go for (for commuting purposes). They aren't in stock at the moment, I'll probably wait for them to come in (although I am in the US next week so might pick up something over there).
