    I could only find 3 XLs in Carrickmines at 1pm yesterday, no Ls. There are rear pockets alright but I felt it was more of a running jacket. I would'nt fell too happy leaving bits in the rear pockets, they were a little bit "loose".

    Only my opinion:o

    Picked this Jacket up today in TKMaxx for €35.

    http://www.tritrail.es/en/ropa-triatlon/35-cazadora-long-running-jacket-ironman-vo2max.html

    Its a running jacket but has back pockets and should be good on the bike.


    i just got one of these aswell in Stephens green. Had a look round and couldnt see anymore, however they did have another ironman branded jacket in stock that looked like it could be waterproof. It was navy, but not sure if it would be suitable for cycling.

    I tried TK Maxx in Stephen's Green at lunchtime today, and there was no sign of that jacket. I reckon Lenny must've got the last one. That other Ironman jacket didn't look suitable at all.

    I did notice these K-Swiss cycling gilets at €22.99 in a few sizes and in two colours, which seems like a decent deal.

    They also had a K-Swiss jersey which may have been this one (or maybe this one?) at €19.99. I only saw size S there, but there might've been others.

    Dunnes Stores in Kilkenny have four bottles of Lucozade sport for €2.50.

    I see the cyclesuperstore Wednesday deal is LOOK bib tights for €89.

    Yes, but are they any good? :)

    I'm looking for better gear for my weekend spins as commuting tends to cause stuff to wear quicker, and I'd almost rather spend another €10 on dhb superroubaix tights because I'd know they're good.

    Just on the that TK MAXX Iron man jacket. I used it last night, running not cycling. Its very good. Breathable but warm. Feels like a €100 + jacket. Doesnt smell today either, I sweat alot when I run :D.

    The back pockets are a little loose but I reckon would be fine on the bike for a tube or a few bananas.

    initial feedback from wearing it last night playing football. it was dry but cold.

    The jacket was warm, and I wasnt sweating as much as i normally would in my other jacket, although I did take the jacket off half way through. I was kinda hoping it would be raining so I could test out the waterproofness. Ill try again tomorrow at footie, but will find out for sure at the weekend. It has three zip pockets which are handy for keys and money and stuff.

    more feedback as I get more use from it. Hope that helps.

    Some great prices there, especially with another 25% off. Check out the sale section.

    Does anyone know what their shipping costs are like? The site seems to indicate that you need to contact them for a quote, but you'd need to put the order through by Sunday night if you want to get 25%.

    I got a frame from them a few months back. It was pretty reasonable, about 25stg and it arrived 3 days after I ordered. They do free shipping in the UK and deduct that amount from the cost of international shipping.

    €453 for at 12.1kg hybrid is decent enough, but the implied full price of > €900 for this seems like a rip. Really not trusting the CRC & Wiggle claimed discount percentages at the moment, they just don't stack up if you shop around.

    Looks like great prices for Rudy Project gear on http://sportandspeed.co.uk.

    The Sterling helmet would typically cost over €150

    They even have a try before you buy option, where you can send back the helmet within 30days for a full refund.

    Oh yeah, and it's free shipping to Ireland

    Speaking of Aldi/Lidl, I think Aldi are doing a digital caliper for a really good price on Sunday. It should help anyone trying to find they seat tube size of their old Reynolds frame or whatver,

    I've not used the Aldi digital calipers but the Lidl ones are actually quite good for the money. My Lidl ones get a brain fart now and again, and display random figures on the screen, but decent digital calipers are expensive so I live with the occasional annoyance. The batteries don't last much beyond a year or so in mine mind you, but if you find cheap button cell batteries (Lidl sometimes sell them) then that's not too big a deal either, just inconvenient.

    Interesting. I'd also, generally, have more confidence in the Aldi stuff, than the Lidl. Here it is anyhow:

    Look pretty much identical to the calipers I picked up from amazon for about a tenner. Perfectly fine for bike stuff. Unless you're building frames from scratch or you're an engineer, I don't think you need to spend much more than that. I just use mine for doublechecking tube sizes and bolt lengths really.

    MOUNTAIN WAREHOUSE
    Firstly, no I don't work in this place, just sharing the link! I think worth mentioning in this thread. Just discovered this place in the Blanch West End retail park earlier. Kinda like Millets or similar, with the main brand being "Mountain Life" - assume it's an own brand or something.

    Anyways they have loads of cheap outdoor gear including some cycling gear. I don't know if it's the type of place with a sale permanently on, but today certainly there were discounts on loads of stuff, BOGOF's plus a guy outside handing out flyers giving 20% off your bill regardless of whether it's sale or not.

    I think it was probably more aimed at mountain bikers or commuters than people racing around.
