For £30 I just bought a bike repair stand from LIDL, which seems to be pretty well constructed. I think it's a steal!

With or without cleats? They can be got for £14.50 normally on Ebay without cleats. Obviously an excellent deal with cleats.

Pedals and cleats arrived this afternoon, just. Five minutes earlier it would have been this morning.

Cracker Sir!!! What is the difference between Tiagra and 105 Cassettes? Much point going for the 105?

Buy cheap and all that. If its the same as mine it will be great for a little while, then it will become harder and harder to erect, it will start slipping when holding the bike when its not perfectly balanced and in the end you'll go and buy the Park Tools one that you should have bought in the first place.

TK Max in Bath has a load of Craft cycle stuff in - just picked up 2 pairs of Craft performance bib shorts at £29 a pair.



They are normally £80 (although they are discounted to £48 at Wiggle at mo). They had some more 'yo' ones in white/red with big logos on etc for £25, same pad.

Also had a load of Craft Jerseys, including last years Elite Radioshack jersey for £25, alas nothing in my size.

Might be worth a look if you have a Tk Max near you....

wiggle can do things right sometimes, free upgrade to a better chain

ordered this:
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/kmc-x10-l-silve ... eed-chain/

sent this (with a sticker on it saying free upgrade)
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/kmc-x10-el-silv ... eed-chain/

not going to guarantee it will always work but worth a try if you need a new chain as the original one is fantastic in its own right

Smart lunar r2 rear lights - £8.99

There is shipping of £3.50 but if you buy two or need something else to bring it over £15 it's free.

I ordered 2. These are good rear lights.

They're good as long as you've got mudguards, smart lights are well known to malfunction at the slightest hint of a splash of water....

Shame that they've gone back up in price; I bought a couple at £1.99, but they went as low as 99p. Bracket is a bit sub-standard, but chances are you're replacing a broken/missing Smart lamp, so you can re-use the existing one & bin the pony included one.

bigmat

Some of the brackets are OK, some have a weird ratchet thing. They are less reliable than the Smart ones in my experience, but useful spares when they are going for a quid or two.

Good tip off, thanks, picked up a red and white Craft jersey for under 20. Quite a few bibs left in Kingston branch for those of you that way inclined

I tried on the small 'elite' cut RadioShack top. It was miniscule, it would not have fit a 6 year old child, lol

I haven't posted in this one for a while, but this had to go in:
20% off Cervelo R5ca - a mere £6,000
S2 105 for £1500, down from £2,500
R5 frameset for £2,500

Sportpursuit strikes again. If I can get enough credit, might have to snap up the r5ca

http://www.sportpursuit.com/join/coriordan

Just looked in more detail - all large frame sizes (61 or 58) except for S2 frameset - all sizes for £1200

Much difference between them and the new ones? I was deciding between those or the model below, the R540, but it seems like they wear much quicker.

Evans are doing 15% off Sky kit to celebrate the TdF victory. Apparently going via quidco gives another 10% on top.

Half price jersey from Wiggle if you're big enough to fill it.

I'm not

They're also sending out free DHB shoes too
to replace a pair I sent back over the weekend and also a refund on the postage too.
