Colleague pointed me towards this site

http://www.bike-discount.de

Some very good prices from what I can see and delivery was only €2

I order the Ultegra Di2 upgrade kit which was a full 20% cheaper than I could get the stuff from Wiggle or anywhere else (even after 12% Platinum Wiggle discount)

That's really tempting. £840 minus ebaying non Di2 bits for an electronic upgrade. Hmm.

Anybody tried them? It was either them or spend twice as much for something like dhb etc...

My wife bought me a pair for Christmas. They're great - well made, warm and, now I know how much the tight cow paid for them, very good value for money.

And if you use the code TENOFFTENN, they're 10% cheaper (as is everything else).

D'OH! Cheers dude, will remember for next time!

Nice one

I tried a pair of these on in my LBS if I hadn't just bought the Pearl lobsters i'd have snapped these up http://www.endura.co.uk/Product.aspx?de ... prod_id=13

They claim to be waterproof as well, toasty warm and a great fit.

Of and i already have 11 pairs of full finger cycling gloves :roll:

Didn't these just get a very average review (including users) on BR recently? Got the impression that they were like the SealSkinz "waterproof" gloves only worse (if that's possible). The SealSkinz seemed good in the shop - horrid in use.

I've got a pair and I can only use them with flat bars. If I ride on the hoods there's a seam that's in completely the wrong place. Can't even remember if they are waterproof, I don't use them very often.

I've got some, used them all winter. But on the one very cold day that we had I lost all feeling in my fingertips. Had to alternate hiding a hand in my windproof jacket to get them to warm up again. Fine when it's wet, or coldish, but not that great for proper cold weather.

I just spent £12 on some skiing/snowboarding mittens from TK Maxx, having seen the cold forecast for this week.

50% off all options with the code "50Tube". I just went for the standard ones.

Tempted to stock up. Does anyone know the difference between the "101210-NA-NA 700 x 20/28, Presta" @ £4.99 and the "101211-NA-NA 700 x 20/28, Presta" @ £5.99... ?

In that context they sound identical, but I think the £5.99 ones have the longer valve don't they?

The ones that say "long valve" definitely do, but I can't work out the difference with the others apart from the slightly different product code.

spasypaddy

the 4.99 ones have either a 32 or a 42mm stem
the 5.99 ones are longer again with a 60mm stem

Pretty good at half price

I was in Asda today and it looks like they had some new bike accessories. They had what looked a sturdy track pump for £13. I forget the brand but it had a 3 year guarantee.
Looked good value.

Not a massive bargain, but cheapest I can find for a 10 speed cassette of a decent level. Only the 11-28 is £30.

Darn, beat me to it

Not sure if I want/need one of these but they do look nice. I only put food, keys and money in back pockets so should be ok for me.
