Wiggle have an extra 15% off on some parts at the moment, just picked up R7020 hydraulic groupset for £386.

Rightly or wrongly, due to this code, I had a look, and ended up buying a 9200 12spd cassette

£330 down to £200, down to £170, down to £168 post cashback, so nearly half price right........


I know it's an extravagance, and I probably won't need it for 2 or 3 years, but thought it was worth grabbing at this semi decent price to put in the spares collection, as it's for the best bike.

If I find I don't like the one on the bike, I suspect I can sell it on for little or no loss, and go Ultegra.

I realise on a value scale with regards to the OP getting a cassette plus an entire hydraulic groupset for £220 more, it's not really making a case of itself, but there we are.

I really like this La Passione...

https://www.lapassione.cc/collections/archive-sale-2023/products/grace-winter-tights-military-green-woman

I'm sure you do!

I do like that green, and am tempted by these in the same green:
https://lapassione.cc/collections/men-bib-shorts-and-tights/products/adventure-evo-tights-military-green

Would have been tempted by these in 'pine green' but none in my size :-(
https://lapassione.cc/collections/men-bib-shorts-and-tights/products/club-winter-tights-pine-green

Not sure how good their jackets are, but they have some reduced from €200 to €85.

As for these...

I'm struggling to envisage any scenario in which beige bibs would seem like a good ides.

Precaution during a bout of the squits?

If you are planning on doing a Stan de Wolf, mind he was already wearing brown shorts.

daniel_b

They have some brown ag2r-esque bib tights too I think.

Can anyone enlighten me on how this cashback carry on that everyone talks about works, I use PayPal. Whenever this thread shafts me, which it often does the old 3 plan comes in handy?

I'm heading away at start of May, it's going to be the first time we are not taking a wod of cash. I've downloaded revolut and I plan on putting most of the cash in it. I see they do cash back but not from wiggle and the likes.

Wrong thread, but you should thank me. For a change it won't be costing someone money!

Not exactly a deal of the century, given they were ~£160 before Xmas, but Amazon have dropped the Garmin Edge 530 down to ~£180, first time I've seen it anywhere under 200 this year.

N0bodyOfTheGoat

https://www.probikekit.co.uk/bicycle-cranksets-and-chainrings/shimano-105-r7000-chainset/11746895.html £80.49 for 172.5mm 53/39

N0bodyOfTheGoat

In among the "flash sale" stuff is the Carnac TT helmet for ~£32, had one for a few years, a tight fit for my 62cm noggin but it feels fast compared to my Abus Gamechanger https://www.planetx.co.uk/deals

daniel_b

PBK to close down

Bought lots of stuff from them over the years, always had good service.

N0bodyOfTheGoat

Yeah, sad news about PBK.

Just seen https://www.merlincycles.com/weekend-wheel-sale-281273/

The one that stands out to me, is https://www.merlincycles.com/vision-sc-40-carbon-clincher-disc-road-wheelset-175221.html for £399

N0bodyOfTheGoat

Something a bit different, cycling related...

TDF 2022 the pc game https://www.cdkeys.com/tour-de-france-2022-pc-steam £6.49

Had a quick go at some of tutorial a while ago, having bought it yesterday!

Requires a controller to play, such as Steam Controller.

Not strictly on topic I appreciate, but if anyone sees any size 40 MTB shoe bargains, with either ratchet or boa would appreciate a heads up, seems to be VERY little out there for double figures right now.

I had found these new Lake shoes on the bay of e, and nearly bought them for my daughter at a bargain £44.99, but she tells me she doesn't like the colour

If anyone wants the bargain of these in size 40 (I don't know the seller) the link is here - meant to be £130: https://ebay.co.uk/itm/234962613458

She's wearing Shimano size 38 shoes currently in a fetching purple colour, and although they still fit her, I know she will grow out of them soon, so would like to have a replacement pair ready to go.

She says she wants something mostly black, but will entertain some yellow or green....
She definitely knows what colours she wants, I can't think who she gets that from

I've tried pretty much everywhere I can think of, Wiggle/CRC, Merlin, PBK, Tredz, Halfords, Sigma, Decathlon, Planet X, Start fitness, sport pursuit, ebay, FB Marketplace but have not turned up much at all - well aside from those above which were rejected.

N0bodyOfTheGoat

Seems like this thread no longer shows up for me at least when new posts are made, only knew about @daniel_b post to look for shoes because I have thread starred.

Same issue for others ? Might need to start a new thread, before the forum changes a few years back, the bargains thread was in the commuting section.

Yep same here, fairly recent change, no idea why.....

I managed to bag some shimano xc300 black, size 40, for £72 (Instead of £110) from start fitness.
Not that cheap, but seem good quality.

Sadly now she is up to that size, the veritable bargains I used to find in size 36 & 38 are but distant memories.

British cycling have a new "rewards hub" and if you have membership you can now get quite significant discounts off Garmin devices direct from Garmin. Older models, but Edge 530 for £160 and Edge 830 for £240 look to be bargains to me. There's also some smaller discounts on other Edge devices.

Do you have a link at all please?
I'm failing to find anything on their website beyond the members dashboard which makes no mention of it.

dulwichiron

Weird I have a big advert for it when I log into the member dashboard. However the link is https://rewards.britishcycling.org.uk/

Apologies, I fear this might be member specific, I've just seen this...

I just tried to access it and it says it can't find a member with my email address, so it does seem it's currently invitation only

Carbon aero bars for forty quid if 42cm isn't too wide for you...

That 'was' quite the deal, shame this thread does not appear like it used to, I would have grabbed some for future use on my daughters bike.

Two Castelli (progetto x2) bargains that will also likely be missed.

LW Winter bib tights in S, XXL and XXL are currently £150 down to £77 before TCB at Sigma:
https://sigmasports.com/item/Castelli/Light-Winter-2-Bib-Tight/NHXN?id=1096339

Nanoflex 2 pro cycling bib tights (S, XL, XXL), £220 down to £99 before 5% TCB.

I'm not into trade tops but I just love the Corratec jersey.
So I looked one up. The only thing I could find was the complete kit - top and bibs for, wait for it... £21.99. Through Ali express. You cannot produce quality bibs and jersey for that. I could sell the bibs for £50 on flea bay as an exclusive, unused, brand new.
I wonder if that would last the first wash.

pinno

Merlin have a Castelli sale on (as you all probably know through your inbox).

Sooo tempted:

105 Di2 Groupset £949. The CLEAR10 code at the top of the page doesn't work but my newsletter signup code did. Just checked and Honey also got RUNNA to work. Extra 10% however you do it brings purchase price down to £854.10

Old version rotors and no BB, but otherwise a complete in-series groupset. 170/172.5 cranks only.

https://startfitness.co.uk/products/shimano-105-r7100-di2-disc-brake-12-speed-groupset

Stumbled on it whilst looking for new running shoes - decent deals on previous season models there too if you happen to be looking.

whitecot

Actually came with RT71 rotors

joeyhalloran

That is quite the bargain.
