Too much Rule 9 = kit replacement - advice?

vermin

Came a cropper descending the Horseshoe at speed in the hail yesterday. Need to replace lots of stuff that got wrecked. I mostly landed on my face, but I can't buy a new one of those. I can, however, hopefully replace my kit. Bike's looking a bit beat-up too.

I could spend the day trawling through the bargains thread, but my face hurts too much. So where are the deals on replacements (or equivalent products) for the following bits:

Castelli nanoflex tights
Polaris Venom jersey
Sportful no-rain arm-warmers
Santini 365 transparent jacket
Endura road overshoes

Bike goes into the shop tomorrow for assessment. If it's bad, then new-for-old policy = £3k, so poss new bike needed too (which would prob mean another Foil or a Canyon).

Would you like us to make you a cup of tea and a slice if toast while we do the research for you, too

Glad you're ok!

You have my respect for trashing all that kit in one go.

Heal up soon.

There is an extra 12% off at Ribble which should sort you out for kit.

And an extra 10% off the CRC January Sale until Wednesday, if that helps.

Wiggle have £15 off when you spend £100 or £40 when you spend £200 on clothes etc.

Ouch, sorry to hear that. Hope the bike survives the assessment. Can't help with pricing on stuff can only offer hilarious sympathy along the lines of at least it was only your face, well you couldn't get any uglier, etc, etc.
Seriously though, hope you're ok.

There is an iphone app called 'frugal' which is perfect for this. For example, it shows:

Castelli nanoflex bibs:
Wiggle, £85
CRC: £110
Evans: £109.99
PBK: £99.99
