Iffy Oakley lookalikes on Ebay - frames and 3 sets of lenses for £11.50. Mine arrived from China today - took about 20 days. They look dead smart and will keep the mud out of my eyes this winter 8)

Without wanting to rain on your parade (or similar phrase ), I'd be very careful with cheapo fake sunglasses. If the lenses aren't properly UV resistant then they will just open up your eyes and let all the bad stuff in - not good.

A bottom bracket is a bottom bracket, as you go up the range there really doesn't seem to be any difference.

I've got Sram on my bikes, non-compatible I'm afraid.

I discovered that the BB on my supposedly 105 spec spesh sectuer was a tiagra BB made no difference really in feel to the ultegra one in the new frame I have

Will a Tiagra bottom bracket fit with an FSA Omega crankset? Probably worth taking a chance at that price.

Having difficulties putting 2 Michelin Pro3 Race tyres into the basket. Anyone know if they're limiting each item to 1 per order?

Don't think so, megaexo is different to Hollowtech II. I think.

You bad, bad man. XT rear mech for £23, I'm very tempted to go 1x10 on the MTB and this would knock £30 off straight away.

asprilla

They also have the apparently excellent Gore Contest AS for under £70.

keyser__soze

They've got some Assos SS jerseys in a number of sizes but limited sizing in everything else decent. Lucky if you're a small or extremely fat bloke or large lady, unfortunate for everyone else.

God there's 66 pages of stuff on sale! What are these Xplova GPS systems like? As good as Garmin?

The one at £20 is the 12 Year old Glenlivit, which is nice but not the same.

Just tried to buy it but when you add it to your online trolley the price is £34.99, even though it's listed at £20...

sketchley

Sorry missed that earlier they do have the 15 at £20. But it isn't £20 when you add it to basket.

It was £28 in the store though!

noisemonkey

You can Laphroaig in Sainsburys atm for only £20 in the shop.. much more a bargain but I'm waiting on them reducing Talisker again..

It let me put one of each colour in, but I'm too vain for that 8)

Just found out about rose bikes and their epic sale...

Got myself some spoke reflectors, a Tiagra BB (need to get rid of this bloody clicky ticky sound!) and a rather unexpected bonus!

Some Shimano SO76 road shoes in size 52! Been searching everywhere for some road shoes that'll fit me. Got some SH71 cleats as well, but they're SL compatible so I reckon that'll be my next purchase.

Almost went for a seatpost rack thing for £11 as well but a bit nervous it'd snap or damage my bike or something. Anyone used one?

suzyb

How can you tell if the Tiagra BB will fit. I need a new one as well but not sure if it will fit my Giant.

The numbers looked familiar to me, sure I've read them on my current BB. But at that price I thought it was worth a punt on the off chance...

Should say on your BB though.

Edit: Just checked and what do you know? It won't fit my bike! Ah well. Anyone after a Tiagra BB?

It removes the money at the checkout rather than in the basket.

Do you have a Shimano external BB at the moment?

If so, it'll fit.
