Bird Cycles have got EX1700 wheelsets for £350 with XD drivers. For another £50 they will fit a Microspline and also include the XD driver for later changes or selling on.
I don't think you can get anywhere remotely close to this price for an Enduro wheelset. EX511 rims and 350 hubs 36t ratched and comp spokes.
Also picked up some of the RF Turbine pedals from Tredz listed above although they have Giant Pinner Pro pedals for £50 (with £5 discount code). This is a crazy price for aluminium pedals of this quality. I just received two pairs and they look very well made (no surprise as it's Giant).
Lastly, Windwave have size small Transition Sentinel GX for £2,700 which feels like a good price for a bike of that type and with that spec (Fox Performance Elite suspension, full GX, Code RSC's and DT Swiss wheels).
Have you got a link to the Bird wheels perchance?

Adidas sale with extra 20% off for any 510 fans
I got the goretex 510 for £83 rather than £160...

I don't know if this has been posted before, but Banana Industries have Fuguzzi gravel frames & forks at heavily discounted prices (I assume that they're own brand).
The might make the foundation of a cheap build if anyone's interested. The frames in the pictures though don't appear to be painted, I'm not sure if that's how they come.

@thered no code, they gave an extra 20% off the £104 sale price when I ordered it, but now I see it looks like that isn't on anymore 😭
Few things left on Stif now - these are worth a purchase. I had a constantly deflating tyre and one of these sorted it. Full price is crazy, but at this price 👍 Reserve-filmore-valves
Plus Burgtec bars for £30
Best go in through the front door as some stuff doesn't show up under the categories https://www.stifmtb.com/

£3500 for a carbon ebike with carbon wheels, fox factory suspension and XYR groupset seems a deal to me?
XL only though
Well, thanks to this I've managed to pick up the last Stif Squatch!
This has been an expensive thread for me...
Just picked up an Ohlins TTX2 shock for £375 from that Stif closing sale to go on this which I ordered from the Canyon PSA... 😂👍🏻
Nice, but I am biased! 😀
The sale bikes at Stif are discounted further if you click the link. The GT seems a steal at £1699, so much so I'm tempted myself!
https://www.stifmtb.com/collections/bike-outlet
The GT is a huge bargain, for sure
Assuming it's the correct size for someone (XL only), this is an utter steal. £3.2k for GX AXS-equipped SC 5010 (a £7.7k build)
https://www.stifmtb.com/products/santa-cruz-5010-carbon-c-custom-gx-axs-kit-w-pike-ultimate
Both gone now which has saved me a few quid!
Yes good value, nearly bought the 5010 last night but changed my mind at the last second as perhaps a big long for my 6ft and couldn't be bothered swapping the bloody Reverb and switch to cabled gears...

^Who wants a bike the colour of a 1970s public toilet.
Can you not remember darling.
On the Stiff thing - to say they were closing down this week, I had a great experience from Gavin (Shop manager), couldn't have been more helpful and bike arrived fantastically well packed and had clearly been given a going over before it got to me. Hope all the staff manage to find new jobs. Apart from my first super light, only bought bits of pieces from them over the years, but very sad to see them go.
Magicshine are having a clearance ..
For the money they are pretty good (I have the Evo 1700) and customer service is good but neither the robustness or battery life of Exposure lights.
40% of gorewear via singletrackworld members deals. Lupra Jackets for £144, which seems pretty good to me.
only applies to full priced stuff.
Sportspursuit still had the Lupra jackets for ~£70 depending on size and colour.
https://www.sportpursuit.com/catalog/product/view/id/4054480/
£55 for the lupra in yellow- only size small
I've had one for three years. I got soaked through in it once in that time. The rest of the time it's held off some medium showers and breathed well. I'm very sweaty, but less so in this than my other goretex jackets.
self promotion!, but good shout, i see superstar are doing 2.3mm discs, i have the same ones i think and they are definitely a braking boost

Sorry, I've not been following this thread closely, so I'm unsure what's already been posted. I've noticed that Merlin have GRX810 shifters & callipers at £250 (62% off) which seems great (I don't know if this is indicative of 11 speed GRX being phased out, it seems a bit superfluous with 2 12 speed variants).

For anyone considering a Lupra, bear in mind that they are NOT waterproof. They have some waterproof panels but some non waterproof ones. End result is you get soaked, just in patches.
What do you mean self promotion?
I suspect Kimbers, like me, thought the post was by Superstar.
The odd spacing of posts on the forum and position of the link did it to me.
ah yes I did !! sorry captaintomato
I just picked up some 100% racecraft2 goggles in the Evans by my work for £26, they have various other models at differrning prices

They also had quite a few pairs at my local store, prices vary a bit based on model / colours etc. I picked up a set of Racecraft 2 as well. Mirrored and clear lenses plus a pack of tear offs as well in the box. Bargain.

Agree, but for not totally pissing it down conditions (showers,.light rain) they're blimmin brilliant IMHO

The new one, Lupra 2.0, is a replacement for the Endure jacket so it is supposed to be waterproof.
LUPRA 2.0 GORE-TEX Hooded Jacket Mens | GOREWEAR UK
GOREWEAR Lupra 2.0 rain jacket review - Singletracks Mountain Bike News
We upgraded our best-selling Endure jacket with next-generation GORE-TEX ePE fabric for 3-layer waterproof protection that’s lightweight, packable, yet ruggedly durable to tackle any adventure.
I paid 72 gbp for my lupra from gore in jan. V happy with it, more waterproof than the rapha trail jackets, but latter are more packable. The hood is massive but has a few elastic toggles to make it smaller. Sizing I d say the lupra comes up a bit small, mines xxl whereas my rapha trail jackets are xl.
I m pretty sure someone psa d both on here so thanks, top tip.
Sizing I d say the lupra comes up a bit small, mines xxl whereas my rapha trail jackets are xl.
I'll echo that regarding sizing. I ordered both the Rapha trail jacket in XL and Gore Lupra in XXL (the original Infinium one) - also from PSAs on here I think. Kept the Rapha with it being lighter and more packable, whereas the Lupra was heavier and closer in purpose to another more waterproof jacket I already have. Would've like to have kept both but would've been overkill.
The new one, Lupra 2.0, is a replacement for the Endure jacket so it is supposed to be waterproof.
That's good to hear. The one on Sport Pursuit is the old version, so anyone buying one and expecting a waterproof tread with caution.
Keela Roadrunner trousers reduced to £42.47 which is half price, great deal on what seem like good trousers. Also available in a 34" inside leg length.👍

The bad news is they are reduced to clear with no plan to replace them. 😞
SportPursuit have a RaceFace sale on again. Some really cheap protective gear, as well as shorts, tops, gloves. (delivery is early October) go [url= https://www.sportpursuit.com/join/A1A6B7D4531DC2 ]here[/url] 😀
Looks like it’s been taken back down?
looks like stif is now totally shut down
SportPursuit also have a selection of Absolute Black chainrings etc. - bit of a mish-mash of sizes and colours but someone might find something useful. I've had their oval CX chainring on my gravel bike(s) for several years and it is wearing well.
Looks like it’s been taken back down?
The Race-face is here. Last link was my cheeky attempt at a referral link which seems to have broked 🙂
Even cheaper than the axle!

Uberbike have 30% off site wide.
Hope GR4 and TR4 for £360 via Start Fitness on eBay with a discount code STYLISH20. Ends 24 September.
I picked up a new Magicshine Hori 1300 on eBay. The light looks good albeit not used it in anger.
Shop soiled, apparently the boxes got wet, but all sealed up and to be honest I'd have struggled to tell. Paid £37 with a code, these are £70 new
Front and Rear Hope wheels too.
That Uberbike site wide 30% off isn't at all obvious when you visit, but I've just had an ad pushed that tells me it's 'RIDE30' code.
Thanks for the Hope brakes at start fitness. I’ve got for the older Tech E4 to match the other bikes and pads. Cracking price at £290!
Just ordered an Exposure Maxx-D mk17 (the brand new one) from Start Fitness on eBay for £355 with the current 20% off code (STYLISH20). £100 cheaper than from them direct
20% off everything at Start Ebay tbf, including plenty of forks + droppers. Hope wheels too.
Some Santa Cruz frames/bikes as well with £300 more off.
Anyone used the new hope brakes?
I should really get the GR4's but tempted by the TR4 purely as they have the colour i want (smoke)
Yes Gr4 here got them from merlin ....just had 4 days down south Wales inc 2 days at bpw in the wet .....absolutely flawless......and I hated the tech 4 that came as part of a build on my last bike I took them off eventually.
These are brilliant all new caliper all new lever and it shows.
My Hope Tech4 have just arrived! That’s damn impressive
Same. DPD this morning, which is just as well as there would be no one in tomorrow
I hated the tech 4 that came as part of a build on my last bike I took them off eventually.
What didn't you like about the Tech 4? I had Tech3 E4 and they were dreadful but the Tech 4 V4s I have are brilliant.
Anyone used the new hope brakes?
Just got the V4's long time before I upgrade.
Though do we really need to, and does it tweak them that much to really be that different.
Perhaps its only just new names and what looks like a cam on the lever pivot. For V4 read GR4, for E4 read TR4 and it looks like they stuck with 'X2' because they couldn't think of anything new to call it.
The new sealed cap bleeding thing's a good idea, and hopefully it might work on the earlier lever just by swapping the caps over.
Maybe some kind person will know that and post the info up.
The bleed port... Maybe
Just fitted a TR4, the new lever is subtly different, not sure why, but feels much better
the new lever is subtly different, not sure why, but feels much better
Which lever blade is it ?. I think there's 3 choices.
For V4 read GR4, for E4 read TR4 and it looks like they stuck with 'X2' because they couldn't think of anything new to call it.
They stuck with X2 because it’s broadly the same calliper. GR4 replaces V4, but is not the same… not enough room for the old vented rotors. TR4 has different size pistons (and perhaps pads) to the E4.
Tech 4 V4s I have are brilliant
Same here. More control than any other brake I’ve ever used.
Continuing the tech Evo tangent.
Eldest will be onto a 24" bike soon. I was gonna stick some tech3 x2s on (to keep the bleed system the same)
I have
bike no1 :tech 3e4,
bike no2 tech 4e4
Do I swap their brakes and buy some tech3x2 for eldest (cost of 1 Evo end)
Or buy the tech Evo X2 and swap the calipers and levers around to make an evo-e4(and drop in stainless pistons) and a tech 3(Evo)x2
Which lever blade is it ?. I think there's 3 choices.
The default one, they all come with the same one.
It's "Standard" as opposed to "Power" or "Control"
