Welcome to the fourth edition of CTT. What is cheap? What does cheap mean? Our Google overlords define it as “low in price, especially in relation to similar items or services.” Which seems a fair enough explanation.
A thing that costs a lot of money can still be cheap if it is of a lower price than a comparable thing.
So yeah. Forty five quid for a bike tyre is a lot of money. But compared to a similar quality bike tyre that costs seventy three(!) quid, it’s cheap. But still expensive.
‘See Deal’ links
There are button links below each item summary with ‘See Deal at…’ written on them. These buttons – and the header links and linked pics – click-through to retailers. Should you end up buying from these retailers then Singletrack may earn a small bit of commission. This does not alter the amount you pay by the way.

NB: Cheap Things expire!
Deals do not last forever. Stuff sells out. Retailers end promotions. Deals just… end. With that in mind, please check the date when this edition of Cheap Things Tuesday was published (it’s up at the top near the headline). If this edition was published a few days/weeks/monts ago, chances are not every deal is going to still be live.
