Oh, what size "gabba" thing did you get? I'm desperately looking for the XXL versions of a gabba style thing...

I'm afraid it was a Small.

Bonkers bargains on the Assos website (Assos not outlet) including the Bonka for £150. Madness.

Loads of other stuff too.

Anybody tried out Alé bibs? Good or bad?

I think their website has crashed and burned, and or is struggling severely under the load - I can barely get a page to open.
Gateway timeouts and all sorts - like going back to dial up :?
Which is a shame, as there is a jersey I would quite like to buy, but apparently there is little chance.

I'm the same, have got so far and then the thing crashes...

I've had a 504 AND a 503 Backend fetch error now :shock:

I quite fancied a piton green IJ Tibiru 4, but can't see it happening, or by the time the site recovers they will all be sold out.

Leaning towards this for a new road bike unless a great deal pops up this week. But heavy at 9.1kg I think, mainly down to wheelset?

Any big cons I'm missing, or other good options? Need something 58 or 60cm.

https://www.rutlandcycling.com/bikes/ro ... rey_373882

Now £1000, same as last year's main EOL price, only a few like me got a £100 off promo code when there were literally a few left.

The 58cm works for me, I'm 5'10" with ~32.5" cycling inseam (big torso and short legs for height).

Just pulled the trigger on one of these. They charge a 11% surcharge on sale bikes through cyclesheme, but even at 1110 it's a steal for carbon, 105 and hydros...

Yeah I went for it too, mine should arrive today!

Out of interest, did you guys have your cyclescheme vouchers poised and ready to go, as in had you sourced them a while before, and had just been waiting for a good deal to crop up?

My scheme only opens in May for a 4 weeks, so I am contemplating getting a voucher, they can start taking the payments immediately, but that I then hang on for a good deal - my options seem to be Halfords, Tredz or Sigma - I don't have the wide range of options you guys do.

Ready to go?! Oh God no! I wasn't planning on getting a new bike for another year, but I've been really underwhelmed by the 2018 offerings. Casually mentioned to the Mrs I'd seen a bargain if a new bike - she just rolled her eyes and said "You'd better bloody cyclescheme it then". Rutland will let you secure the bike for 50 quid deposit while you sort the cyclescheme stuff out, but I doubt they'll want to sit on it for 6 months. Being restricted to May is bullshit because you'll always miss the end of year sales. If I was in your position I'd get an interest free credit card and give cyclescheme a miss.

Ah fair do's - yes ours was purported to be available 12 months a year, and then they go and change the rules AND the supplier - not many places will accept pure 'Halfords Cyclescheme' vouchers alas.
I hear what you are saying, but it will be a lot easier to get through finance if I say it's going through cyclescheme, 40% saving bla bla (Even if that is not the case) - I'm only after a fast 1X hybrid for a short commute and child ferrying duties - plan to pop some tri bars on it too, for weekend family rides.

As an aside, have now given up on the Assos site and the Tiburu jersey, life is just too short.

Quite a few Ale bargains at Evans.

This jacket which I have had my eye on for an age finally came down from £160, to £112, and through my work managed to get it for £104, looks like I picked up the last one in size small too

And this jersey (Not in my size and colour, but already knobbled an example from Wiggle for not much more)

Depends how important your Wiggle loyalty discount is I guess. Ultimately it's just a different front end to the same warehouse now...

Good spot. Sometimes the prices at CRC are inexplicably higher. "Wifli' climbing in stock too.

https://www.probikekit.co.uk/bicycle-wh ... 49857.html £375

They seem to only have the 6-bolt Campag version in stock, but they do have the Shimano AFS version.

So my 2016 Cube, unlike the 2017, came with 6-bolt rotors. So to fit these AFS wheels, I either pay up for a pair of centrelock rotors such as http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/shim ... -prod67209 (£27 each), or pay up for two sets of Shimano SM-RTAD05 adapters https://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/shimano- ... -smrtad05/ (£10.79 each) to use my existing rotors?

I know these wheels are raved about, but are they really that much better than the supplied Racing 77 DB which are basically https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/WPFURSPOD ... r-wheelset , besides being ~217g lighter?

@DanielB Isn't the £485 price for the AFS Campag version, but £375 for AFS Shimano, for you?

One of those special PBK deals though - when I choose an option, it mysteriously goes up to £419.99.
AFS is £485

As an aside......

I'm expecting a raft of Billy bargains on here today :shock:

Castelli Elemento 2 - 7X (AIR) in SMALL only - £300 down to £150 (Was £165 yesterday):

These seem cheap for what they are. Thought they were usually over £100. Makes it harder to justify the coros helmet with it built in from Halfords for £80 down from £180.

Cheers. Sorry, I should have been a bit clearer - the gabba is very race fit and can't got on with at XXL, but the synergy's not as race fit according to the measurements, and i'm a lot more fat lad at the back than race fit..

Neo is £999 at Halfords, will delivery to pay in store, so if you have BC discount. Bang.

Don't think that will come around very often again - almost down to the £865 we saw in the spring.
