Valve cap may be non euro, but it serves a function of preventing a tyre from puncturing itself when rolled up tight.

Good stuff.

Alek · 31-05-2017 3:55pm

The address change has been sorted and the package has been dispatched to IE today. Very good email customer service, I have to say.

Don't think I'd spotted this here but picked up in another thread - eurosport player annual sub is half price to 11/06 at 29.99 http://uk.eurosportplayer.com/subscription/pass.shtml
Well worth it, my subscription was about to run out next week!

Sorry just to be sure - that means that Ireland is covered this time, yes? The T&Cs have different packages that apply to Ireland so I'm not 100% sure!

The code does the following

That's serious value, and the only way to get Di2 IMO.

You can pay in Sterling and let your bank handle the exchange rate, which is indeed @200 yoyos cheaper.

1839.99 British Pound equals 2101.51 Euro per google, that's exceptional value for an 11 speed Ultegra Full Carbon Di2 bike.

Revolut is great. An absolute essential option for buying from UK sites.

Was looking at buying a few cycling jerseys and went on to the Vermarc site. Have bought from them before, found their gear to be high quality and they have a decent offer on bib shorts/tights/jersey/jacket here. Might be useful for some.

I got that bundle a few years ago. Great value. Jacket doesn't breath all that well, so don't do what I did and wear it with a winter base layer and then get cooked alive in blistering late March sunshine struggling up Ballinascorney....

It's a regular fit, none of this Italian-gotta-go-two-sizes-up business.

For those with AIB Visa cards, if you're registered for the new reward scheme then a 5% cashback offer for chain reaction cycles should have appeared in your offers.

I hadn't noticed it until today, expires in 5 days.

I bought this jersey >>> http://s.aliexpress.com/umE32Qre from AliExpress 2 weeks ago.

It arrived today and I'm absolutely delighted with it, superb quality and highly breathable. It's very lightweight and extremely well made. I wore it today in bright sunshine and 20 degree heat and the material is so soft and comfortable. I have ordered 3 other designs as I was so impressed with it. It has overtaken my Castelli, Sportful and Santini jerseys in terms of fitment and quality. Sizing is the same as Castelli and Sportful so if you take L in them then size L in this is your size however this jersey fits me better than any of the others as there is no puckering in the chest area when in the drops and I love the zip pocket on the rear for keys/money. For €16.50 delivered it's unbelievable quality and a definite bargain. I got the black/yellow jersey.

Thanks just ordered. We should make an AliExpress thread with sellers & experiences with quality on there, still a bit of a lottery at times

Picked up a bunch of Racmmer short sleeved jerseys in the past few months, all are working out great in our fine Irish summer. I sized down from their recommendations and it's worked well for me. Would recommened opting for "ali express shipping" option as when I didn't, it took 2 months to get here.

This is possibly the cheapest you can get them. I've done a lot of research over the last few weeks to see the cheapest they can be gotten for, as I'll be selling a brand new PDI milage set, but the SLS 622x13 version soon, for 650e.

They're a bargain at 800e

Hard to say but I'd probably advise going for XL. I ordered L in the bib shorts and could have done with a size up but they're fine.
