Would the bluetooth allow me to use spotify and skip songs on the touchscreen?0 -
Well, it could if someone/you wrote an app to do that.k3vinjam3s wrote:TimothyW wrote:Garmin Edge 820 is £175 on Amazon for the next 6 hours again:

At present the only Garmin spotify support is to play spotify directly from some garmin watches - https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2018/10/spo ... -know.html
Doesn't work with Edge bike gps computers.
You could get Tasker to do it (assuming you are on android?) - https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/f958 ... 2de7958f59
But that will probably take quite a lot of setting up.0 -
Can't quite work out if this is a great bargain, or if there is something wrong with it.
Ridley full carbon TT bike, 105 11 speed gears, £855 with 0% credit over 18 months available:
https://www.merlincycles.com/ridley-chr ... 14592.html
Sizes L and M available.
The only caveat is that the geometry doesn't quite seem to be full on TT - still a lot more aggressive than the average road bike though.0 -

Nice spot, thinking about ordering a couple at that price! 8)
Only a very brief look around the site, not somewhere I normally visit online, but they have some very competitive prices on some BF bikes today, especially Cubes...

I've heard some stories from others but they've always been OK for me. They aren't far from home (used to work 5 mins walk away) so usually just go into the shop.NitrousOxide wrote:Almost too good to be true... Do they have a shocking customer service reputation or something?0 -
Thanks @ thistle, still deliberating those jerseys, plus a pair of https://www.tweekscycles.com/uk/northwa ... s-2004184/ for £105, with ~4% cashback.
BLACKFRIDAY18 gets 20% off everything at https://www.ubyk.co.uk/ (another place I've never bought from before)
They have the 25mm version in stock and other sizes on pre-order, if you fancy buying https://www.ubyk.co.uk/continental-gran ... less/76973 for ~£52 each

Now, UBYK, they do have a bad reputation.
And sneakily up for sale. Allegedly.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Answering my own question, borrowed my Dad's Fire TV stick and eurosport player seems to work fine on it.TimothyW wrote:Is anyone using a Eurosport Player subscription with a Fire TV at the moment?
Thinking about picking one up in the sales, although status seems ambiguous (app is available, some people say it doesn't work....)
Works fine with a chromecast, incidentally.0 -

I bought a secondhand 800 last week which hasn’t turned up yet, but have bought this as well. It’s good to have a spare!0 -
Not as good as the USA discount but there are a few companies offering the new ipad 9.7 for £260 i cant say I've heard of any of them before, i suspect they'll just be buying USA stock and shipping them on.Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

All kindle fire tablets are on sale at the moment on Amazon. For example the fire 10 is £99 compared to the normal price of £150.0

yeah i looked at those but the specs seem very low running a heavily modified (for the worse) version of android, i'm never buying another phone or tablet with modified android or one that prevents loading vanilla android.
my hudl 2 is still running all be it with a lot of help but could run perfectly well on a modern OS if tesco had allowed it to be fully unlocked or carried on with updates.Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

To be honest, I only ever use them for storing and playing media e.g. books, amazon prime video, netflix and BBC iplayer really. So they're perfect for that.itboffin wrote:yeah i looked at those but the specs seem very low running a heavily modified (for the worse) version of android, i'm never buying another phone or tablet with modified android or one that prevents loading vanilla android.

I have one attached to the door of a kitchen cabinet, with a Bluetooth speaker underneath. Occasionally use it for recipes, but mostly for Spotify and cyclocross videos...elbowloh wrote:

Missed out on this over the weekend. Should have pulled the trigger on Saturday but had to wait for the C2W Gods to approve it in the office this morning and it's gone.
sub 7.4kg for £1000 in my size was just too good to be true!
UPDATE: Anyone have any experience of Roux bikes? I can't seem to find a weight, but this seems like an ok spec' for the money

That seems ok for Ultegra and Ksyrium.
It really does. Nice spot.

I just got one for the tv in the garage. £25 Black Friday. Figured the voice remote would make it easier to use on the turbo. Assuming I can speak.Mud - Genesis Vapour CCX
Race - Fuji Norcom Straight
Sun - Cervelo R3
Winter / Commute - Dolan ADX0 -
yeah grabbed one myself but i think the voice remote only comes with the more expensive 4k version despite the pic on the cheaper model.
Whatever if it means Mrs itboffin can watch that dreadful dancing shite in the office without bugging me to enable casting then its already worth the expense.Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

The cheaper one does include the voice remote. The more expensive ones remote is slightly different though, it has an IR transmitter for turning on/off your telly and doing the volume.0
