Snagged one of the Jet Black Volts at Sports Direct - too much of a bargain to ignore, hopefully no issues that require their involvement.

A quickie re these turbos - I’ll be Zwift or similar on iPad or windows laptop, I an ant+ adaptor required or is a Bluetooth connection fine? I’m totally unfamiliar with smart trainers hence the dumb question re what I’ve just purchased!

Bluetooth is fine.

Also, I think if you have an hr monitor that is ant+ only, it can rebroadcast that on Bluetooth.

Spatz have got some kit for 60% off.

Who?!

There never used to be so many payers in the market.

I want petrol blue not nappy brown.

Love the look of the Torm products though always found Merino directly against the skin itchy. Pricey.

I thought Spatz were reasonably well known, especially since a certain Mathieu vdP (and Philipsen) have been wearing their overshoes and possibly mitts for a few years now.

I'm tempted by the purple jersey and green shorts, but will likely resist.

joeyhalloran

I think their winter overshoes have been very popular for years!

Chain Reaction got Wahoo Kickr on for £499 at the moment.

I noticed it went up a hundred quid, but has now come back down ... and is available with an extra 20 off in clearance. So, bought for £479. If Elite fix my Suito that they have bricked I'll be selling that.

daniel_b

The wonderful Isadore have quite a good sale on currently, including some jerseys at 50% off.

https://isadore.com/

Also note, that they have a UK warehouse now, so no extra fees/charges, and shipping is free over a certain amount, £75 I think it might be.

I've only tried their jerseys, but find the quality and fit REALLY good.

daniel_b

Wiggle have the Raddoppia 3 for only £125 in yellow and small only.

Severely tempted, but then I have an original Raddoppia and an Alpha Ros 2, so can't justify it.
Bargainous though, and 5 or 6% cashback through tcb too.
Under £120 for a quality winter jacket that had an RRP of £260 is quite a deal to my mind.

That's the problem with the RoS stuff, it's so good you never need to buy anything

SRAM Force AXS D1 46/33 chainset for £83.99 (170mm) or £89.99 (172.5 mm) currently at Wiggle using code OUTLET.

BR Bike of the Year, Vitus Venon framesets and some builds back in stock with 30% off. The 105 Di2 aero road build for £2.65k is a cracking deal, for example.

132g Selle Italia Kit Carbonio Flow saddle - £69.99 (or £59.99 each if you buy 2 with OUTLET code).

Don't forget your 5% Topcashback too!

That Ultegra di2 Venon is an absolute steal.

Bargain! Does the 20% off clearance code work too?

Doesn't seem to.

Keep checking back. Was out of stock yesterday morning to. But I know a few who bought it after this. I think it's in stock now again.

Only 2 sizes left and one of them was my size.
I tried very hard but couldn't resist.

That looks like lovely kit but fcuk me it's expensive.

daniel_b

It is, but on sale I find it very palatable, and fully expect my Isadore jerseys to *last me ~20 years.
The cut, quality and materials are top notch, and the branding to my eye is very subtle.

*If I don't get bored of them and sell them.

Ha! My oldest jersey is coming up on 30 years.
I think cost around £15. Team Once in yellow fwiw.

I see Wiggle have a Castelli sale.

mrb123

Some good prices on Time pedals at Merlin at the moment.

I have a Clas-Cajastur winter jacket bought in November 1993 from the wonderful Dave Kane cycles in Belfast. Boy that was an Aladdin's cave. It's made out of space suit material and I have no idea how many miles I did in the thing. I still have it and very very occasionally wear it though it has long been superseded by modern fabrics.
