    Some good deals on Kask Mojito helmets. Works out about 78 euro. Usually a lot more!
    http://www.rutlandcycling.com/837/brand/kask.aspx?term=mojito&saleonly=true&maxprice=60

    Not sure if they charge for delivery.

    Tweeks do, unless you get it sent to Nordieland or maybe parcel motel.

    Galibier are selling off their Flandria Gilet Lite @ 16 pounds, down from 37. So about 21 euros. Free deliver to Ireland too.

    According to their facebook post they are getting in a newer one, thus said sale, I think.

    I've bought their clothing before and it's quality stuff. Pity this gillet isn't available in my size 44 inch chest. Would recommend that you buy this, especially at that price.

    They do make quality gear. Only small sizes left in this.

    Use Parcel Motel and Amazon won't charge you the VAT.

    I get I could've used parcel motel and amazon, but Rutland and parcel motel work out cheaper. Amazon was a more expensive price, but then I thought delivery was free, so saving the delivery charge/parcel motel charge with Rutland. It's marginal, but Rutland + Parcel Motel is stg£5 cheaper than Amazon + Parcel Motel for the same helmet in the same colours.

    My wife tells me it comes naturally.

    My point was this thread gets derailled a LOT.
    Some people get an email notification for every new post so general chatter and requests aren't what some people are looking for.

    Fair enough, I checked back til mid december and didnt see anything so decided to ask, any offers prior to that would probably have expired.
    I've seen plenty of people asking similar questions, so didnt think it would upset people. In any case, if getting an email notification (I get them myself for a number of threads inc. this one) bothers you unduly, I'd seriously consider turning it off and chilling out.

    I'm not trying to be smart but I learnt this from having dozens of emails in my inbox each day. Click 'Unfollow' and then click 'Follow' and select 'No email notification'. Each time you visit Boards you will see that the thread has been posted in without all the emails.

    I'm quit chilled thanks but that's probably because I cycled this morning in the cold snap.

    I said tires in my original post, to elaborate I meant road tires.
    I'll find a set elsewhere thanks.

    A twin pack of Continental Grand Prix 4000S II is currently €76.82 from Wiggle. It's €79.75 from Merlin Cycles with a couple of tubes too, though if you're after 25mm you're charged an extra €5.32. They can be slightly cheaper from some German shops, but they appear to be out of stock on the couple I checked.

    Even with the 45% off they're expensive tyres compared to others, but the number of reviews show their popularity.

    They take ages to deliver though, I think my last package from them went via Spain and took well over a week

    Wiggle delivery times can be quite bad too -there was a thread on it recently.

    Going with Schwable One for 60euro for a set in Cycle Superstore, best deal I can find on these and Im a little tight for cash right now. Had them before and they are grand.
    Its actually a set of Continental GP 4000 S II that Im replacing, my first set of them. There was a blister on the rear tyre after very few km's so it had to go.

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B00APBMNP4/ref=olp_twister_child?ie=UTF8&mv_style_name=0

    Took the gamble on this, got a dispatched email the next day with a tracking number. The tracking number never worked. Gave it a few days to see if it needed to get on the system. Emailed them yesterday to see what the issue was. Got a reply today to say that they had a shipping issue and they have no more stock. They are refunding me over the next few days and will let me know if it is in stick again.
