@ogden Worked on an order of Nukeproof shorts for me and just tried it on a vitus bike and it still worked
Works on Wiggle but not CRC
i got a set of the doyennes at £270, and they seem good for the money. Come with valves, rim tape, carbon brake pads and skewers, seem well made, not super-deep. only downside is one of my caliper bolts threaded as I losened the brake cable off (must have been mangled by the previous owner) to get the wider rim into the brakes, so I now need a new front caliper too
@5lab I paid £365 about 6 months ago and was dead happy at that price tbh. Never seen them go lower than £350 prior to Wiggle Admin sale. Spares are also going cheap so may be worth grabbing if you buy them.
It's just let me order 3x Oakleys at £9 each with the code.
Pffft, stick yer Oakleys - these are only £3 😀
Oakleys @ £10 aren't even showing in a search on Chiggle for me now (showed as OOS earlier).
Blimey – carbon Zesty with Fox 36 Factory etc for just over £2K… not bad at all!
Year, some huge discounts tbf, getting in to CRC Vitus territory there! Any feed back on the more XC end of their MTB's?
Just ordered some Zipp road bars from Wiggle at £7.99/pr and a BrandX 150mm dropper for £50 - well happy!

Ill be taking delivery of a xr tomorrow,....
Merlin have some fairly hefty discounts on some their ibis stock now.

Ill be taking delivery of a xr tomorrow,….
let us know what you think as I’m seriously considering one. Thinking front end might be a bit low though?
I looked at a downcountry lapierre when they were cheap on evans. I was put off by lack of reviews other than one by Pinkbike that was less than complimentary about the suspension!
Some interesting Simplon ebikes at 50% off on Merlin too https://www.merlincycles.com/simplon-rapcon-pmax-xt-yari-carbon-full-suspension-e-bike-2022-275820.html
Just did two wiggle orders and noticed that the EXTRA10 worked in the basket, but the actual orders did not have the 10% off. Bit annoyed at that and will probably cancel one of the orders at least, because I was too weak willed anyway.
The xr sounds ideal for my preferred riding. Something relatively limited and xc, akin to a supercaliber.
I was looking at the rapide, but although the kit may not be quite the same, the reviews suggest the lapierre.something id get on better with, as the rapide is a bit too active.
Plus i could always run it 120 up front like the xrm.
@rwoofer Have a double check. When I used the code the total reduced but it didn't show up a total discount like it would usually. When I paid, I paid the reduced amount and this shows on my bank statement but the invoice shows the full amount and not the discount.

I just had exactly the same on my order this evening.
There are stems for 50p!
Anyone got the Brand X wheelset? Thoughts please...

Cryptic! 🙂
Just had my order cancelled despite everything being in stock....
XC whippety 29x2.25 Rekon Race in normal and EXO flavours for £14.99 and £17.99 respectively at Merlin. Discounts on other Maxxis tyres too..
Managed to get someone helpful on chat. Take with a pinch of salt I guess.
Why was my order cancelled?
Nick R 2:05 PM
It was due to a system issue on the discount code. The IT team are working on resolving that but i have no indication on when that may happen. If you still want them the only way is to order again without using the discount code. The system thinks the order is being underpaid and getting cancelled when the code is used.
Nick R
The code may still work at the check out but I see the Terms & Conditions it ended at 10:00 on 07/03/2024 so is no longer valid. It will have been an automated marketing email pre set, the T&C state promotions can be ended at any time without prior notice sorry.
How much longer will orders be fulfilled for ?
Nick R 2:09 PM
Until there is very little value of stock left in the warehouse. Could be 1 to 3 weeks.
Would refunds be issued if you stopped and I'd ordered?
Nick R 2:11 PM
Yes we wouldn't take a payment and not fulfil the order and keep your money. They could be cancelled and refunded.
Finally broke and ordered a few bits of wiggle - sportsbar for the missus, dhb aeron shorts and a fjorn hiking pack for £30. Hopefully the pack is not crap and it can be used for boy#1 when he starts doing proper expeditions with cubs / scouts
Also picked up some cheap kids endura stuff from sportspursuit
Just had my order cancelled despite everything being in stock….
I've had a message to tell me that one item out of several ordered has been dispatched from my latest order and I'll be informed in due course when the others are dispatched...
I think maybe the wheels are finally falling off. no worries I guess, it would be nice to get the bits I ordered but none of it leaves me in the lurch and the value wasn't a huge amount...
@ogden one of my orders has just been cancelled with a message please contact us. I put the EXTRA10 code on so suspect any order that used that code is getting cancelled.
the last e-sommet (medium) has just dropped to 3k....
not sure if that's particularly good or not tbh
Ordered a load of stuff yesterday and just got the "with evri" email.
I suspect just the 10% discount code?
Are these orders getting cancelled crc or wiggle?
Put an order in at midnight last night with wiggle using extra10... currently still 'placed order'
This one goes out to the haters of the tuned/turd t-shit:
£9 on sportspursuit thank me later!
I had an order cancelled too - had assumed it was due to something being out of stock but after reading this it is presumably due to using the code. Only put the order in after their promo email that mentioned extra10. Have re-ordered and hadnt read this thread so used the code again so that will likely be cancelled next week! Wiggle+ delivery wasn't available for second order.
I had my order from last night cancelled.
There was nothing I particularly needed so hardship.
Everything still in stock so have re-ordered … with the code again!
My order with the code turned up. Took a while to dispatch but was quick after that.
Just had a dispatch note for stuff I don’t remember ordering that I might have reordered since but I don’t remember.
Unfortunately it doesn’t contain the lifeline cadence and speed sensors I wanted (£7).

Anyone got the Brand X wheelset? Thoughts please…
I bought the 26" version, not had a chance to try them as yet. Out of the box the rear is dead on, might have to fine tune the front ever so slightly (but I'd expect to do that after a couple of rides with any wheel). Weight is less than I was expecting, accurate to what's stated on the page. Seem very solid and well made, subtle branding apart from the hub. Hub is clicky, meh, but very easy to service. Takes a 6902 bearing. Spoke length is same as the stockpile I have from the last big sale, woohoo! Fully taped for tubeless.
I'm quietly impressed, as I have been with other Brand X stuff I've used. Given the market for 26" wheels is somewhat wanting these days this wheelset is rather tidy. Other wheel size users have more choice but £40 a wheel is yes.
Just had my crc order from the 3rd dispatched. Helmet for my wife, and some gels.
Hoping the remaining staff aren't having too shite of a time. I got made redundant a few years back, and stayed on to empty the store/warehouse. Very surreal feeling.
Just got an email saying that the new 10% off code for CRC is 10EXTRA
Seems to be working the same way as Wiggle and not showing a discount total but deducting it from the full total.... but given it is a new code 10EXTRA and not EXTRA10 I've given it a shot again.
I was watching some bibtights on both CRC and Wiggle and they've actually gone up in price by 20% this past week 😂

Anything I've bought that hasn't sold out has shot up in price! Bought a jersey for £12 and went back to see if there were any left and it's £27
Stuck in limbo on an order now as havent had my order of the 7th cancelled given the use of the voucher code....thats still showing 'Order placed'. Im guessing its going to be cancelled as I put an order in for 1 item that I know is low stock that I had in for first order and within a few minutes thats now 'Order processing'. Dont know whether to put in for the other bits until my first order is officially cancelled. Minor issues relative to the staffs situation

I think thats an automatic sales based algorithm in the new website, and they then have to over-ride it manually. Hence the reductions being done in waves once have caught up with dispatch.
Minor issues relative to the staffs situation
yes, very much this...

I'm in exactly the same position: placed order 7th March and added next day delivery (and used the EXTRA10 code) - that order's not moved beyond 'order placed' status. I've just placed a second order for the same items minus a jacket that's no longer in stock and that's immediately gone to 'order processing'. Mix of stuff I'd like to have, along with a seatpost I actually need, so keen to get something. Live chat is unsurprisingly not working at the moment so I've dropped them an email. Like you say, all minor relative to how shit a time the staff must be having and TBH I'm not fussed if I receive both orders as all consumables I'd use eventually.
it just feels weird, wiggle/CRC have always been there and just feels like picking over a corpse.
I’ve just looked at my spares box, I might have overdone it a bit.

...and that's why Mike Ashley bought the brands. Sentimentality/goodwill.
Both companies were LBS, family owned type affairs at one point.
Grew very well, got big, got sold. Presumably the family made a ton of cash. Business got loaded with debt. Moved to Wolverhampton. End.
I feel sorry for the staff, but the company isn't what it was.
Anyone remember Mountain Tamers in Boston? Accounted for quite a bit of my student debt that place. Bar stewards 😁
Nice set of prime deep carbon wheels just arrived for £269 and code worked ok.
talking an ex employee seems like less than £4M in stock left at wiggle warehouse.

Just a BOX? Amateur 🙂
Noticed my CRC order with the code is still at order placed and not processing just like my Wiggle one was...

Which one's did you go for?
Anyone got the Brand X wheelset? Thoughts please…
I got two sets, 27.5 and 29 both look absolutely fine. No idea how much trashing they will take though.
Monkeyboyjc any info on the Komraid stuff, it looks really nice tbh. The only thing is I’m not really much of a KOM kind of a guy so…
Everyday I check this thread.
And everyday I pray for my wallets sake it has died.
Today it was languishing on page 2.
I really hope this is the end.
I hear you wzzzz but you just bumped it which made me look at it again...and you didn't even bump it to highlight a discount! 🙄
according to the in stock filter there is still 2018 items left.
Still holding out for the lyrics to be discounted further from 60%

Ha ha. I'm the same. I don't really need them but if they were just a tad cheaper.....
I gave up on waiting for the lyrics to drop more and got a set of cane creek helm mk2 on ebay for cheap.
Just couldn't be bothered to wait in the chance it might drop enough
Bike is out for delivery, exactly one week after ordering so happy with that. Unfortunately it's with Parcelforce so expecting it to just be chucked out the back of the lorry as they drive past
New CRC code has the same issue as the Wiggle one..... order on hold and with IT.
I placed an order on the 4th that was stuck in processing, then on the 9th got an email saying shipped and it turn up on the 10th - Now have enough coats to last me for a few years. I have an order from the 5th that is still in processing and one from yesterday that is just saying placed. The first two were placed using the EXTRA10 code and the one yesterday had 10EXTRA on it.
Will wait and see what turns up.
I got hold of a set of the Rock Shox Lyrik Ultimate 27.5 and considering selling them, if anyone's interested?
The forks I already have aren't that old, so feel wrong replacing them for the sake of it
I placed an order on the 4th that was stuck in processing, then on the 9th got an email saying shipped and it turn up on the 10th
Sounds promising, as ive got a CRC order showing as "processing" since the 6th March, and was hoping it might have updated to show as "dispatched" today, but hasnt so far.. I dont think i used the code...
Was going to order some wheels but now not so sure!
Heads up... Chat does work on both CRC and Wiggle but you have to go to the help page first, clicking it on the home page says it's unavailable.
Unfortunately it’s with Parcelforce so expecting it to just be chucked out the back of the lorry as they drive past
our parcelforce man was round two days on the trot last week with 2 (kids) bikes. Was decent. On his second visit he said he’d delivered 4 bikes since he last saw me!
Given the demise seems imminent, how long would folk leave it before chasing up a parcel that Hermes aren't delivering? They've had it since Tuesday and every day I get a message saying "sorry, this parcel is too big and we're passing it to a special courier" but it's a cassette. The same Hermes driver that's allocated to take it has dropped off something else in the meantime. Today they've not even said they're sending it out for delivery.
Given CRC might not exist in a fortnight, a week or even a couple of days I'm a little wary about it - normally I'd not chase after a week but I'd like to do something before the wheels come off.
It's weird.
CRC order placed on the 7th was delivered yesterday.
Wiggle order placed on 4th is still 'processing'.
Returns are now £7.50 fixed fee, no option I can see to use your own postal service. (actually think this makes sense - theres a cost (and eco impact) of companies processing returns, they should charge and discourage).
Speaking of returns, the ebay shop seems to be a bargain if you're after a frame, but some other stuff seems more expensive than the shop!
Wonder how long the clearance will go on for, they must be reaching the end of stuff worth discounting.
I had an email today about an order I placed on the 4th, saying an item is now out of stock. Presumably it's now moved from the order well to being picked so will hopefully be shipped today.
Weird. Returns are still £2.99 for me. Patiently waiting to see if the truing stand drops more
Chat does work on both CRC and Wiggle
I've just finished using Wiggle chat. Took a few attempts to get into the chat queue and when it did I was 20th in the queue - I suspect that's the max number they can have waiting. All good when I got through, so worth persevering. Clarified the order I placed 7th Mar is still at 'order placed' status due to an unknown issue (I suspect the EXTRA10 code being the problem...). Second order I placed on 8th Mar is still processing as normal with despatch expected in next few days - that's typical timescales at the moment which is understandable.
