This is a stunning deal for £36 less any other discounts you may be able to find.

On an unrelated note, submitted my tax return last night, and they owe me a little under £600
For the 3rd year in a row no less.
Was going to pack it in, but for the couple of hours it takes me to collate the data, think I will carry on with self asessment.

You'd feel a bit sad if you'd paid the full RRP of £120 for that too !

True enough - I have it's sister jersey which is a stunning fit, and that cost me about £40.

It isn't a £120 jersey imho, but would easily justify an £80 price tag - so at this price, it's still hugely bargainous.

Schwalbe one tyres from PBK arrived today, they're the performance line not the vguard and no mention on their site that they're the PL cheaper model

Mine have also just arrived, what does that mean in layman's terms? I can't find any info online about the difference.

Is it wrong to want *this?



FYI, it is a bargain as it is reduced from £2300 to £1400, so saving some £900..........

I can see why this one's reduced - there's nowhere to attach the stem!

Bit of wooden dowling, it'll be fine.......

Typical DFS though - in the first pic, shows those wheels, and on the side bar, states it has this:

Carbon rear disc and quin spoke front wheels

Which clearly matches with the headline grabbing picture. All good so far yep?

Then when you look at the spec to actually buy, the default is:

Planet X Pro Carbon 50/50 Track Wheelset24F 24R | Tubular | PX Lines Black | 16T

Which bears zero resembalance to the headline pic :roll:

Surprised - Moi?!

I am not a gambling man, but I would be tempted to stick a tenner on what wheels it would arrive with.

Some new basket "spend and save" 10% discount codes at Cycle Republic...

£10 off £100 basket JINGLE10
£30 off £300 basket JINGLE30
£50 off £500 basket JINGLE50

As there doesn't seem to be a way of doing "click and collect" where you pay when collecting gear in-store like at Halfords, it doesn't appear you can stack this with a British Cycling discount code, but means you can get 10% off for an online purchase with free delivery for orders over £10.

Means you could get a Tacx Flux delivered for ~£570

https://www.cyclerepublic.com/bikes/hyb ... -2017.html is £900 before code @DanielB (I'm fairly sure it's been £800 this year)

My Shimano cm-2000 arrived from PBK. It appears that you can power it by USB whilst recording, in my limited testing anyway.

£65 at the moment very tempting. Can you give us a review?

Castelli Pave event jacket now down to £99 @ Merlin Cycles, photo print version only so maybe a bit marmite for some, but all sizes. Stonking bargain...

There's supposed top be 20% off PX clothing (which seems to including helmets and shoes according to the e-mail link) for baskets over £50 this weekend until midnight Sunday...

But when I've added clothes to the baskets, it tries to apply the code automatically and says "Sorry. You're not eligible to use this code."

Mine should hopefully land tomorrow, anyone got any recommendations for good, cheap 128 mb micro SD cards?

Amazon is where I go but not from 3rd party sellers, only deal with Amazon themselves and go for hassle free packaging if possible, looking quickly they are around £45. I'm running 64Gb in my cameras as they are big enough for a days riding and also cheap enough.

Good shout, and 64gb seem about £20-25 cheaper! Much more palatable...

I haven't really used it, I bought it for making long stop motion videos for longer journeys both by bike and car, so my main concern was being able to charge while recording, which is the only thing I've tested so far.

I've had no bother using the iOS app for it, either.

Buy SanDisk cards. Always. I can personally vouch for the extent to which they are tested.

Samsung ones are good, too. £19.99 on Amazon.

You MAY get lucky on that, too. Needs to be in stock in your store and convince them it's for cycling (10% BC discount)

Cheers BTR. In stock at my local branch so ordered to collect in an hour. Got to be worth a punt for £16 quid!

Only issue is the camera seems stuck at my local P.O. delivery office. Tracking says it arrived there Thursday night but nothing delivered today or yesterday ....

Well things have improved a bit...

You can now add ONE TYPE of clothing (eg. multiple pairs of same socks but in different colours) and when you add other non-clothing bits to get basket over £50, you get 20% off the clothes.

But try and add two different clothing items (eg. socks and some shorts) and you lose the 20% discount! :?

Local store honoured the BC discount - guy on the till also commented on the outrageous value

bendertherobot

Halfords have stopped doing BC for everything, has to be cycle specific. Up to each store but, I cannot see them quibbling if you were to say, quite rightly, it;s for your bike cam.

Does anyone know if the cheap Ebay out in front go pro mounts are any good?

That's a poor development to my mind, although have bought most of the non cycling things I will ever need from Halfords for the time being I guess - Satnav, Roofbox etc.

The advantages are slowly being whittled away it would seem.
