Brilliant deal for a taller rider committed to full 29 though.

But, but, I could have two Konas for twice the price of that! 🙂

This popped up earlier and looks like a cracking bike for the money – https://www.balfesbikes.co.uk/bikes/mountain-bikes/trek-slash-97-slxxt-29-full-suspension-mountain-bike-2022-in-green__28341

It is indeed. This is one of the Balfes stock....

Highly recommended.

But then you'd have two Konas, unfortunately.

X01 10-50T 12-speed cassettes (XG-1295) for £175 at Merlin (£200 for the 10-52T version).

Very long-lasting cassettes (especially paired with X01 chains) and that's the cheapest I've seen them since Certini briefly had them for £160.

There was a time a couple of years ago when you couldn’t get these for love nor money. They’re a weird cable pull or something IIRC so can only be replaced like-for-like. Turn tables etc. Sad times, really.

Pretty sure they are the same pull ratio as all 11 speed road stuff. It was the 10 speed grx 400/tiagra 4700 that used an 11 speed pull ratio instead of the usual 10 speed stuff.

Samsung watch 5 pro £329

I've had this watch for a year or so now and it's a decent smart watch. By all accounts, seems better than the 6, for battery alone if nothing else.

Can load GPX files, does Strava better than my phone and obviously if you have a Samsung phone the integration is spot on. Fitness tracking probably isn't up there with a Garmin, but it's decent enough. At that price it's a bloody bargain. Looks nice enough too

Just took delivery of one of these 'XLC' 150mm droppers I happened to need 30.9 with external routing.

To me it looks very similar to the Brand x ascend II that (last time I looked) was ~£130 on Chiggle but has been up and down between £70-150 on there.

£50 seems good IMO

@scruff thanks for the Polaris PSA, I’ve ordered! Always found Polaris stuff excellent quality, I may be biased as they gave me some when I cycled across Mexico many, many,  years ago but some of it is still going strong.

Unfortunately, the T&Cs don't list any broken watches as being eligible (Appendix 2) and the maximum trade in for the Watch 5 Pro is mostly sub £50 (Appendix 1). You might get lucky, but it's not a given.

The selection for any broken smar****ch is in a drop down menu.

Seems they are now out of stock of the watch 5 pro but the offer is still available on the watch 6 classic but you only get £75 for any broken smar****ch.

I recently did a trade in on a Samsung Tab s9 and get the £100 trade-in value for an old Samsung tab S2 the wouldn't turn on.

Fair enough. I can only go from my experience when I traded in an old smar****ch and an old tablet on different occasions. Both times I got the full trade-in value. But as you say I might have been lucky

Gosh, those Rapid Red 3 gravel wheels look a steal, unfortunately I picked up a pair of DT Swiss G1800s for £170 a while back.

I'm not sure how the 2 sets compare but I'm sure that the DTs will be fine (still possible to get the G1800s for a similar price if anyone is interested - wiggle.com/search?query=G1800).

Rase used to do a external 200mm dropper in 27.2. CRC had a few 27.2 droppers on cheap- I ended up drilling my kids frame and fitting an internally routed one for £40 or so

The Vaude stuff appears to have been virtual. They accepted my order and then six hours later they emailed to tell me that they had no stock. Methinks they cocked up. It did look too good to be true, and it was.

If you have chonky legs and bad taste/poor eyesight, Endura Singletrack II knee pads can be had for a mere £19.99 (though you'll need to find some other fantabulous bargains to bump your order over £25 for free postage)

https://www.cyclestore.co.uk/endura_singletrack_2_knee_pads_lime_green-ID_86702

If you have a loving of the obscure and brands so underground they will bamboozle (and possibly alienate) your friends, you could plump for these ALAUDARK PLUME for a similar £19.99 price tag, albeit with free postage and a bit more size flexibility to boot!
