Not sure if already posted but £50 after cashback and £5 off is a bargain for decent carbon bars in a choice of rises.
Thanks, just ordered some of these.
The last set of carbon bars I bought were from Merlin via a PSA on here. I think they were £35 or something daft so £56 for some reason didn't seem like such a good deal until I thought about it lol.
These are 10mm more rise which is exactly what I've been convincing myself that I need!

£72 on gore uk site with discount code on site
I'd say you'd be better off with the Gore Spirit jacket , it's Windstopper front and back and no useless hood !
I've had my eye on the tent for a while. But we've never camped as a family so was reluctant to spend £450 on our first tent. The sale price of £300 and being able to use Nectar points made it irresistible!

This is pretty heavily reduced. Depends whether you like the orange bit. I've had it for four years (gravel/road) and really like it.
strava annual subscription for £20 see HUKD, I'll post it separate
Huh, might actually do that- I like strava but the basic free product is good enough for me, so I usually sub for a couple of months a year just by way of "paying what seems fair for what I get". At £20 it still seems good value even if it could be free!
Amazon are selling the blue POC Omne MIPS helmet in Blue for just over £80. Sadly I need a large size and can't find one that cheap anywhere.
That Strava seems to be only valid if you use a Brazilian VPN.

You only need to use the VPN whilst buying the gift card - then you disconnect to apply it to your account and that's that.
yes you go onto brazil, then gift it to yourself, from a secondary email, most people who are signed in to strava are struggling got to be signed out and let strava think you are overseas

Jamis Divide hardtail mountain bike for £195
looks like a "proper" mountain bike for BSO money - basic coil fork, microshift 7 speed gears and cable discs but all looks decent for real world budgets. 🙂

Saris H3 Direct Drive Trainer £299 from Blacks / Millets
Not the newest of trainers but they were well reviewed at the time when costing £600.
I've bought one as I'm getting fed up of how choppy and slow my Tacx Vortex is. Suspect a direct drive trainer will be a huge improvement.
I was checking out Alpkit's outlet and found this bargain and a half:
https://alpkit.com/products/display-cortex-medium-battleship-gx-eagle-axs
Awesome little trail bike with GX AXS, the Pike Ultimate and a Cane Creek shock for £2,389. If I was in the market for a short travel MTB this would be gone already!
They've also got loads of hardtails for under or around a grand
My Cortex was from the outlet section in my local store. It's worth asking in person if they're able to do a deal, I got a good discount by haggling in store.
Mine came with an XT group set, Alpha 29 wheels, Helm Mk 2 fork, standard Rock Shox shock and I paid £2200 about 2 years ago.
Keep an eye on their eBay outlet store as well, I got the Cane Creek shock (same as the one on the bike you've shared) and only paid £199, it was £100 just to service the Rock Shox shock and £300+ for the Cane Creek shock everywhere else so with a little bit of man maths it made more sense to upgrade to the Cane Creek shock form their eBay store.
Bikepacking tent for under £30. Not much headroom. But only 1.3Kg. Ditch half the pegs and use it outer only should be under 1kg.
Cheap not always bad. I toured for years with a £30 Argos tent which while bigger than this one was just over 2Kg.
https://outdoorgear.co.uk/outdoorgear-backpacker-pro-1-tent/
I have a good 2kg bike touring tent. Seriously thinking of buying this for fast and light hillwalking as an alt to a bivvy bag.
Absolute bangin bargain on Ride Concept shoes at Evans especially if you can’t get on with the current narrowness of 5tens. The powerlines linked here are the best flat mtb shoe I’ve had in 20 years ! Just go a full size bigger
Ohhh that's tempting. Are they really that small? Like, New Balance small or adidas small?
Are they really that small?
I had to go up 1 or 1.5 sizes in my previous RC shoes.
Have ordered some Powerlines and Hellion Elites thanks cnud.
I'm an actual size 9.5 but wear a size 10 five ten impact / freerider etc and a 10.5 is just right for me in the RC Powerline
Probs an 11 for me then (actual size 10, 10.5 in adidas, sometimes 11 in New Balance).
I don't really need them though, I've basically forgotten how to ride a bike and I have a near brand new pair of Spesh shoes.
*hovers over buy button*
Fox 36 Float Performance GRIP (29") for £249 on Merlin - paint defects (read the description) but still seems a bargain at this price.
I got the fox forks delivered last week, only defect was by the bolt in. Very pleased at this price.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/kvia9qKzjBQKacEh8
@big-bud, I appreciate if you want to be careful with what you say but for clarity where were these fox 36s from?
There is a post further up about fox 38s on merlin, I'm trying to work out if they're linked
50% off Endura Humvee Hoody, limited colour but lots of sizes.
I’ll update as soon as I hear anything back
popcorn at the ready
Had a closer look at the 36’s I had delivered and they look absolutely genuine. Similar if not a bit lighter in weight to my Marzocchi z1s and serial number on them identifies them as OE with no graphics on the Fox website.
chris
My guess on the forks is that someone ordered them and sent back some fake ones. No one checked them properly and they got sent back out. Odd not to go back to the seller in the first instance if it was a big online retailer.
@jonba odd you assumed I hadn't.
I did contact the retailer of whome I have a long standing relationship with as a customer and they, like every good online retailer offered to exchange or refund.
Hence I'm not naming the shop even though it's obvious as I genuinely think they are the best at what they do.
The forks were actually collected today instead of the planned Monday.
It could well be there just terribly finished oem forks and at least I'll have piec of mind .
Now please bare in mind ì never contacted fox saying are these fakes or not as such
I questioned the quality of the finish etc which then lead to the request to see them .
I have also jot accused anyone of selling fakes I just want to be clear about that.
I'm just highlighting caution .
Now continue with your daily mail please:)

That is a ridiculously low price for winter boots. I dunno but haven't previous Planet X winter boots been well received?
^ good call, but I have to decline because of the narrow sizing. From previous experience, sizing up just shifts the problem. Shame, as my current Defrosters are gaffa taped and glued to the limit.

Fox fork update
Received a phone call today and the forks are indeed genuine but they did say they had never seen a pair with such poor finish on the lower legs and the brake mounts both need facing and they speculated that they may of been produced at the new factory in china not Taiwan as some lower end products have moved there but they were surprised they made in to the open market .
Fair play to them they offered to fully service them foc which they didn't need to do but I did decline and will get them back and send them back for a refund .
I'll upload pictures when they are back sk you can see I'm not been dramatic.

Thanks Dave. I think I bought the last L thanks to you. I promised I wouldn't do a new build this winter or even a frame swap and there you are, you singlehandedly made me brake that promise. At that price it would have been rude not to...
Silverfish right? They were fantastic when I had some issues with some ride concept shoes. Went above n beyond.

https://www.sportpursuit.com/catalog/product/view/id/4126270/blockquote >
looks like these are the oversocks, as in go over your shoes, not the waterproof socks, just in case anyone clicks and thinks they will get socks with only one hole.
I've also bought one of the Fox 36's with the paint defect from Merlin. Should be delivered today or tomorrow so will post up a pic when they arrive. TBH though, I'm not really bothered what they look like as long as hey are genuine and the insides are what they should. I've bought them for a future bike park bike build that I'm gathering bits for, so not too bothered about weight either as it'll be mostly used for uplift sort of stuff.
Wondering if I should have gone for the basic ZEBs for £50 more though....
