As title really. Loads of kit at 50% of at bikester.co.uk
It's 50% off the current price too so applies as well as any existing discount so some stuff is a real bargain if you're after it.
Odd range, some colours of an item included some not but worth a look.
Just got a pair of dynaplug tools and various other bits
Look for the outlet50 banner on the item or search in the outlet sale
Annoyingly the £150 stages power meter sold out before I completed checkout!
Cheers for that! Just saved £90
No worries, I ended up with a fair chunk of stuff I'd been humming and hawing about for ages. Not sure if that means I saved £200 or threw away £120!
Thanks. Some good bits there, new goggles, dynapugs (never going to spend full RRP there), galfer brake pads, spare 10sp chain, bottle and cage for the kids bikes....
dynapugs (never going to spend full RRP there),
Indeed. They're a brilliant bit of kit but of "limited" use. The bacon strip things work but in the occasion I've had to try use one it was pouring rain, windy and sub zero.
Reynauds means i lost all feeling and dexterity within about 4 seconds and couldn't manage to thread the stabber thing so ended up walking him me anyhow. The dynaplug should all be completely doable even in my winter gloves. Should be.
Ended up getting one for each of my toolkits because, obviously, you always leave the things in the other bag.
I got a CamelBak Lobo Hydration Pack 6l+3l black for £34.50 with a bladder, Mud hugger for £15, quite a few tools for a decent price, 4 elite bottle cages. They also had an ultegra 6700 chainring loads cheaper than anywhere in the UK I needed.
Dammit! That's a bad site and a bad offer... FOR MY WALLET!
(Cheers for the heads up)
Their delivery can be a bit slow lately. Might wanna factor that in (my last order took 10 days)

Mine wasn't too bad a month or so back but I only ordered one chainring. Can't compalin too much at 50%+ off mind.

Indeed, it's not like anyone would be ordering things like a cassette they need to urgently replace before going on a holiday tomorrow (which will be ruined without) from the cheapest place they can find instead of walking into a shop and paying a bit more to have it on hand today is it?
I must stop opening PSA threads, that's another £90 🙂
Just saved £10 on a toptube bag 👍
despite my best efforts... they have nothing i need or want 🙁

Well it's clearly not that good an effort, I could have given you a list of a few things to want
Dammit, no wheels in the 50% off sale. Rubbish PSA! (I did get some other stuff though 😀 )
Nice - got some wider bars & fresh bar tape for the road bikes (since MTB riding has opened up my shoulders), and a pair of Park chainlink pliers.
Well it’s clearly not that good an effort, I could have given you a list of a few things to want
please do! i suspect i may have missed a few 'essentials'.
I don't need anything - goes off to look ! 🙂

Well [s] I want[/s] You need a
lh stages 170mm ultegra (which I think also fits xt) Power meter, £185 or a £380 Full rotor crankset power meter
A new trail pump (the clik ones are very nice)
There's a deore 12 speed (double admittedly) crank set and rings for <£50
Pedals, I mean everyone needs pedals?!?
How's vat work - I thought it was supposed to be removed for orders over £135?? Doesn't seem to happen.

I belive they're UK stock-holding (or more to the point at least handling and forwarding) so no international shenanigans to be dealt with your end. No duties but no vat reduction either.

I gave up on/broke the stabber on my budget repair kit. Turns out you can push them in with a multitool. Select the size you need in 1mm increments. 5 grams saved from the bike mounted kit 😉

ok, thanks
A couple of spare pairs of Candys for the same price as a set of cleats! Plus a 10sp chain for the commuter and a bell! Thanks OP
Could have gone mad but cost of living and all that...
I can't get Paypal to work - I'll have to use the CC when I get home.

Yeah I had to resist those and the egg beaters really quite hard.
Thanks... I was looking for a new helmet... got a POC Tectal for under £50.
£90 saved here, awesome.
Lots of decent shocks in there, nothing my size unfortunately.
Outlet50 now Outlet60 🤪
Bad news for those that have already ordered...
The discount is now up to 60%!
What?? 60% off? crazy
Thats mad, should I cancel my order and place the same order again, or just order the stuff again and return the first when it arrives!

Who could have seen that coming! 50% seem too good to be true already!
Hmmm now that rotor crank/pm really does look tempting...
And Mrs brain would absolutely definitely like some new cycling kit for Christmas
I am looking through this trying to find something I need. In reality there isn't anything but I feel I have to buy something! An STVZO front light for my commute maybe? However, I already have a working front light (although not STVZO). A bike computer? I've coped for several years now without one (I really just want one for the clock to see how late I am for work!).
I've been thinking about trying some tyre inserts (27.5 x 2.8) so ordered a pair of Cushcore Pro Plus for £62 plus a few other bits and bobs like Galfer brake pads. There is a lot of crap in there and the clothing is impossible to search through without being able to filter by size!
Who doesn't need some finned pads for their XT brakes? Only £150 in this sale 😀

Oh! Its 25 pairs! Like a lifetime's supply 😆
Bad news for those that have already ordered…
If the stuff is still in stock, cancel the order and reorder with the higher discount, if the extra 10% is important enough to you. That's what I'm doing.
A pair of Max Grip Shorty in 27.5 for the race bike... bargain.
Revelate top tube bag, jagwire cables and a nice pair of ion shorts ordered. Thanks!
Managed to get them to refund the difference between to two vouchers! Don't ask, Don't get. Heads up if you try, put everything in your basket again showing the same subtotal and send two screenshots of the difference in price, as soon as I did that they sorted it.
That's a good result ogden!
Just seen the Five Ten Freeriders come out at £37.79 delivered or £32.80 if you spend over £100
Many bargains to be had here, even more so if it's in an odd size and you're not fussy about the colour.
Had a good look through, but somehow nothing I really wanted. Few things I spotted that might be of interest.
Fatbar Lite £38
SQlab bars £42
SRAM 203 rotor £20
Ixon STVZO light £30
Mudhuggers EVO £14
Endura SingleTrack jacket £52
Various 100% and Fox goggles £20
Various Shimano type tools £15ish
ETA actually even cheaper now it's 60%
They also have (or had yesterday when I ordered yet more stuff....) Peaty Chris King valves at around £10 and my go to saddle, the WTB Volt in titanium rail at around £45
Had an email to say one thing I ordered is out of stock.. pretty good going really - that was a gym top for my son, so all the bike stuff is coming. 👍
the WTB Volt in titanium rail at around £45
I just bagged one of those now. Thanks for the heads up. Been needing a new saddle to replace my current SDG Bel Air 3.0 which has barely lasted a season of fairly sedate XC riding.
Discount up to 70% now!
This PSA cost me a fortune! Every time it went up 10% and they gave me a refund I went back in - ha ha.
Just lots of bits I would have bought eventually but such good prices I got it all in one go.
Cheers again, OP.
How did you get a refund? I dilly dally’d at 50%, bought at 60% and wished I’d waited another day…..
Flip side is most of what I did but is now out of stock. Those Renthal bars worked out a mega bargain.

I literally just emailed saying “I put an order in and the offer has changed, is there any way to apply this to my order retrospectively?”
And they sorted it out for two orders, one from 50 to 70 and the other from 60 to 70%. I always think if you don’t ask you won’t get. The worst they can do is say no 🤷🏻♂️
anyone had delivery yet? is it coming from the UK?
Arriving tomorrow.
Passed through Wendlingen in Germany while with DPD 🤷🏻♂️
My Galfer pads have arrived but DPD took them to a pick up point for some reason.
I've had mine delivered now. All present and correct, bit annoying to miss out on 70%!
anyone had delivery yet? is it coming from the UK?
First lot arrived, hassle free with dpd, about 5 days from order I guess.
Second is just waiting shipping confirmation
I emailed them yesterday about the offer change and they got back to me today and said they'd refunded the difference. Great service!
My items arrived today, ordered when the discount was 50%.
i ordered at 50%, i'm happy enough and my items arrived... no arguments.
Tempted by some wheels that I 'need', which are way cheaper than UK - experiences above sound good, but hesitating as not used them before. They declare themselves as a German company who is registered in the UK, the stock doesn't seem to come from the UK.... is this a legit way to be doing things with Bword shenanigans? Genuinely have no idea... Price is very close to UK street price, without VAT. Their Trustpilot reviews aren't that great for what thats worth (not alot, often due to customer end muppetry)...someone re-assure me, don't want to be paying VAT & import charges.
I've used them multiple times, not just for the sale stuff. They're not the fastest delivering usually, but it does state that up front. I've never had a problem with them and will happily buy from them again - I've put in two orders, one on the 60% and one when it went to 70 that would have totalled over £450 at full whack and came to about £160...
My first 2 orders turned up yesterday 50% and 60% (one was missing an item but a quick email sorted that) and I've just placed a further order today at 70%. I can't be bothered to argue the toss over the difference in discount as its cheap enough anyway as long as its waht you need - there is a lot of cheap tat left now but still some gems like Candys at £12 and tubeless repair stuff, sealant etc at give away prices
Oh, and if you have a carbon salsa Mukluk then the Revelate framebags are a steal!
…someone re-assure me, don’t want to be paying VAT & import charges.
So long as you're using the .co.uk linked on page 1...
You won't be paying VAT and import charges, at least not until something changes significantly with our current trading relationship with Europe.
I emailed them yesterday about the offer change and they got back to me today and said they’d refunded the difference. Great service!
I've just done this too off the back of this and been credited (stuff also arrived within a week too), fantastic, very much now on the 'good shop' list for bike bits. Will now go and gave another look at what is left!
Mine arrived today - one item missing - I've sent them a message to try and get it sorted - awaiting a reply
Ordered Sunday, despatched Tuesday, delivered today
Tracking didn't show anything until it reached the UK - no customs changes (just over £100 order)
Just done another £100 on Galfer pads lots of Lezyne bits quick links and other stuff.
I thought the 70% was over and nearly had a panic attack after losing my basket.
Volt isn't in the 70% 🙁 Still lots of nice stuff though, I bought really quite a lot of ODI float grips
105 power meter looks interesting
Placed my Bikester order on the 16th. Still processing though. Is that normal? How long did people's order take to arrive?

I placed an order on the 16th and got the delivery notification for tomorrow through earlier today.
Similar sort of time to my last order. They pull stuff in from their European operation to a UK base before sending it on.
It’s not quick. And I have a (non-sale) item to return… they’re are sending me the custom’s docs to fill in… so that’s likely to end up a slow process as well.
Thank you both of you. Well worth the wait considering the prices...
I reckon they’ve been a bit busy. I placed 3 orders with them 14, 16 & 17th - first 2 arrived on Fri, last one due tomorrow.
Not sure what to make of this considering that I placed my order on the 16th:

I have contacted Bikester last Thursday but they have not replied.
It's £500 worth of stuff so a little worrying, it does say dispatched and it looks like it has landed in the UK. I might have some come back through Paypal, I don't know.
Has anyone not received their order after 2 weeks?
My bikester emails were in my spam folder. All good here though, first order at 60% landed quickly enough and the most recent one at 70% off is at DPD, as per nikcfrog. I suspect they have been bombed out.

Customs is likely to get slower and slower as we head towards Christmas. Be patient. Brexit benefits. I know of plenty of 3 weeks plus delays from Germany>UK... not unusual at all. I'm currently trying to sort a return to Bikester (not a sale item and the wrong size) and it's proving to be very difficult. Wouldn't have placed an order with them if I knew stuff would be coming direct rather than from their UK dispatch facility.
^^ thanks for that. It makes sense and as you say, thank you Brexit. The absurdity of border friction for trade with our neighbours is ridiculous. Embarrassing actually.
I guess I am paying very little for the stuff but there is always a nagging doubt about it never arriving...until it arrives.
I probably won't even try to return anything but I'll sell it on ebay if it comes to that.
Cheers. Nick

Absolutely this. My second bikester order took about 2 weeks to land. First was quicker by a good chunk.
My normally-four-days-in-transit lorry from NL has taken eight this time round as it was delayed in customs. I'm expecting the next one to be leaving on Monday next week and I'm anticipated 10 working days transit for that which will be a pita as it'll land mid stock take.

If it makes you feel better that's €120k of kit. It doesn't have PayPal protection 😉.
