Cyclocross Wide/Narrow chainrings for £20.79 + £3 shipping to Ireland = 32 euro

20% discount code (for all stock!) is FLASH20FP or FLASH20OCT

http://www.superstarcomponents.com/en/cyclocross-io-chainring-narrow-wide-style.htm

What's the story with those and front derailleurs - does it mean one ring up front only?

Alek · 14-10-2015 10:27AM

They're for a single front ring setup (1x9, 1x10 etc.) - their specific design minimizes chances of dropped chain.

lennymc · 14-10-2015 10:33AM

I got one of the superstar components chainrings - looks well made. Havent had an opportunity to try it out yet. i paid about 40 inc delivery last week.

Alek · 14-10-2015 10:34AM

Did you get 38 or 40? What cassette are you using?

lennymc · 14-10-2015 11:00AM

38 with an 11-28 on the rear. This isnt bargain talk tho so we should probably move to another thread.

Ardennes1944 · 15-10-2015 10:05AM

I know theres a new model and I have not looked to see if this is a good price anymore but

B*llocks, those went quick!
Supposed to be a 1 day flash sale "while stocks last"

Don't see any availability now at any Irish stores.
Still available in UK, could get my brother to collect but £189 works out at €266 so not as good a deal as here.

They probably only had one. They are of the opinion that if your willing to pay €229 for it and it's not there, you'll possibly spend the money on some other product instead (which hasn't been reduced)

Interesting concept. The tooth profiles alternate, and this somehow 'locks' the chain on the ring?

Mind you, if you're going single chainring, I don't know why you don't just have a humongous chain guard on either side of the ring, and then you have no chance of a derail at that end. But I'm not earning the big bucks designing fancy bike components, so what do I know!

Alek · 17-10-2015 08:09PM

Yes, narrow teeth fit exactly in between inner plates of the chain, wide teeth between the outer ones.

I don't know why you don't just have a humongous chain guard on either side of the ring,

They would catch a lot of mud and lock your drivetrain in the middle of the race, I guess

There are solutions like this for downhill MTB though.

Bought a Giro Foray helmet in Halfords today for €39.99.

http://www.halfords.ie/cycling/bike-helmets/adult-helmets/giro-foray-bike-helmet

No other way if its UNAVAILABLE online.

The 'Collection not available' note would indicate it's not a regular stock item in the stores.

Power on the go at very good price

topcat77 · 21-10-2015 03:10PM

I placed an order for these yesterday morning.

http://www.marreybikes.com/cycling-tights-and-trousers-/3056-marrey-bikes-super-roubaix-bib-tight-black.html

They arrived at work just before lunch so i was able to take them out for a trial run today (1pm). It was constant driving misty rain and was on the bike for just under the hour. I have to say they preformed above my expectation, it doesn't say they're waterproof but didn't feel any dampness on the legs and the limbs stayed nice and warm. I have to say the chamois is a little large for my liking and would have to apply some cream if i was doing a longer ride, but i do prefer a smaller chamois (synthetic leather if possible). The sizing is great if not a little on the larger side. Well worth the money if your looking for a winter bib tight.

P.S.

Not affiliated with the shop ;-)

Are these fleece lined topcat? Need a pair of autumn tights so if not lined I'll plump for these, ta

topcat77 · 22-10-2015 09:50AM

I can confirm that they are fleece lined.

Their cannondale road bike prices (esp 2013, 2014 models) are also pretty great. Unusually, they have 'normal' sizes in too. e.g.

Just to follow up on this. Ordered my Trigger 27.5 on Monday night and it arrived yesterday morning! Fantastic service from Pauls Cycles. Bike is fantastic, just did a quick 20km spin on local trails. Looking forward to taking it up to Wicklow at the weekend.

Star hurl · 23-10-2015 07:54PM

Plenty of stock in LIffey valley ! Marked at 46€ but got it for 40€ . Great helmet for price

koutoubia · 24-10-2015 06:18PM

Was in 360 cycles in Clontarf earlier and they are selling off their Merida Reacto's
for 1500 instead of retail of 2500 :eek:
I think and you would need to check with the shop but only a few 56 and 52 left.

Merida Reacto carbon frame and forks with ,from memory, 11sp ULtegra .FSA chainset, one of the pro logo saddle and merida's own wheels (whatever they are!)
Also clearing mudguards, computers and other stuff.

fat bloke · 24-10-2015 07:06PM

1799 on the website...

It's a good price but not as good as 1500. Are they add cheap as that in the store?

Yep. Well they were 1500 when I was in there late this afternoon. Think they were pricing them to clear stock for new year.
