    Was over in Cycle Surgery in Dundrum this afternoon, there are some mental deals on bikes. I understand the sale will finish tomorrow.

    Firstly it seems they have priced the sale bikes at the sterling price with a euro symbol. Then they have knocked 50% off them.

    For instance there is a Cube C68 Lightening with full DA and Deep Section Fulcrums for €2500 or so (looks like a 54 / 56). A Charge Plug for €299 (54/56) and a few 29er MTBs. Theres a fair amount on sale and worth a trip if you are on the market.

    Hi Godtabh. Was looking at similar wheels on planet x but they are coming up as 464 euro plus delivery. I chose 11 spd shimano and no decals. Did u choose differently to say you picked them up for 430 with delivery?

    Good frame.

    Great value.

    I'm not sure if my wheel deal went through. One wheel was on pre order and doesn't seem to be in my order now

    Might be a bargain for someone looking for a full carbon 105 build from Ribble

    To build it up, costs around 1400 otherwise. I'd be tempted if I could afford better wheels as none of mine are 11 speed compatible, plus money needed elsewhere

    Gone now

    I wonder lads is this 60 quid turbo worth to get? I don't want to lose my fitness, my weight (that's gain I know). I have the Giant factory wheel in the shed, all it needs one cassette and one chain and I'm good to go in any weather. Thank you!

    I have it and have no issues with it. Its basic but I use it with trainer road and find it effective

    Just pulled the trigger on it.
    Will any old wheel work or what should I look out for?

    Pretty much any old wheel, preferably true and with a cassette of matching ratio, not necessary to be same type group set. I use a turbo specific tyre as normal rubber gets chewed up. Remember chain wear will be effected by both cassettes so a worn cassette on the turbo wheel will wear the chain quicker and in turn the cassette on your main wheel so worth keeping both on reasonable condition.

    Anyone know of any winter fluorescent jackets? Something similar to the Altura one that was on here last year, LSH had it for 155 on SD had it as 50. So similar price too!

    No sarcasm intended. The "Big sale" has been on for a while, but I was wondering if they would run any January offers etc...

    Wiggle apply discounts depending on the level of your previous spends. The discounts are applied to your account and are not in the form of codes/vouchers. They have a sale on at moment but it's on clearance lines and so there is only very limited availability on sizes/colours of sale items.
