    The Tesco value brand load most definitely is not the same flavour as Soreen but then I'm thinking I want it for the energy and not the flavour particularly.

    TBH I more worried about eating a Malt loaf at all - bits of brown malt loaf stuck between your teeth is not a good look and blowing off like a howitzer tends to scare animals and those of a nervous disposition :-)

    Go to http://www.hotukdeals.com then on the top right enter the name of the shop in "find voucher codes". For instance there's a valid £20 off £200 spend on Wiggle on there.

    Its SAVE40 and gives you £40 off a £200 spend. Not bad.

    Ballacks, just spent about £160 on winter boots and a few other bits from Wiggle last week.

    Could’ve effectively got £40 worth of “free” stuff!

    Free returns with Collect +

    Or mail them and see if they will sort you out - would save them two lots of postage.

    Have used this tack with Amazon before, as you would be doing them a favour really.

    Thanks for that - an excellent deal. Sadly it's only for clothes/shoes and i'm looking to purchase a bike box and some lights so doesn't work :(

    Tempted by the Lusso jerseys on sportpursuit at the mo', £21 for a jersey made in Britain.

    Not sure about sizes though... I'm an xxl in vermarc jerseys, a large for tenn jerseys and seem to be right in the middle of l and xl for lusso.

    Anyone know how they size up? Oh, and I have a couple of pairs of lusso bibs, one xl and one xxl and they both fit fine, if that counts for anything... :)

    Thanks for that. That just cost me £180. Still, that's the winter boots, cleats, cap and 3/4 tights sorted...

    Sorry, I didn't want to spend your money. :D

    There is a cracking deal on these Bloc Sunglasses (with 3 lenses) at ProBikeKit - £12.55 (when using EXTRA5)

    http://www.probikekit.com/uk/clothing/c ... asses.html

    They usually retail for £25-£30!

    Is that the normal price or are they a proper bargain at the mo?

    Edit: £100 off hmmm I don't even have a bike these would fit on at the mo, why am I tempted :lol:

    Ive been out injured for well over a year - but have just pulled the trigger on these - i just don't see them getting much cheaper - and can recoup a good whack in classifieds.

    ive always wanted some carbon wheels - at long last they are on there way !!

    fair cop, not sure I can justify owning 3 sets of wheels and no bike to use them on :lol:

    Anyone spotted any good bargains on winter tyres? Think mine need replacing...

    bike-discount.de seem to have very good prices, though I haven't actually ordered anything from them yet, so I can't vouch for their service...

    I had a look about a week ago but couldn't find anything. Could do a group London buy on a box of 50 I guess, works out at £2.10 each.

    Bit of a faff to organise but it is silly us all buying inner tubes individually for more really.

    On the subject of tyres, I have been running Conti GP 4 seasons for years now - good grip, reasonably puncture resistant etc. But in the last six months boyf and I have had 4 tyres fail, with a bulge along the side wall. Anyone else had this?

    Ribble was about £2 cheaper though when I got mine, once you take postage into account. Worth checking.

    One thing to point out is that it's blue :lol: but has a nice pattern/ grip on the top & sides, certainly seemed well in the wet this morning. Obviously only one ride so can't comment on how long it will last. Last winter I ran a Vittoria Zaffiro, cost about £8 and lasted through winter.

    Decathlon. 2 for £3. Only issue being you have to collect in store, and they don't have loads of stores.

    Sounds as if there is a pattern here. Rubber failure followed by bulge :shock:

    That's too good not to try, found a code for 10% off, and went through quidco for another 5%, so if they arrive works out at less than £11 a pair - ordered one for my bro too.

    Daniel B, what was the code you found for the additional 10 per cent off at Probikekit?
    Their home page gives the code for 10 per cent off but you've got to spend over £70

    Thanks

    Bloody expensive. Last year I stocked up on Decathlon long sleeve merino baselayers for a fiver (euros) each. :shock:

    Hmmm - I don't know what the quality was like as you can't buy a decent T-shirt for 5 euro
