I got these as a leaving present from work, except I have absolutely no need for 'em.
Anyone have any sensible suggestions as to what I can either buy from there or want to buy them off me at a reduced rate?!
20 quid?? 😆
I assume you ride bikes? Therefore replace "need" with "want" and try again...... or just wait till the next thing breaks
If this is an auction, I'll up it and offer £30
Well I've currently got 3 mountain bikes and a road bike, none of which need anything at the moment and the missus is already giving me grief for the amount of bike stuff in the garage.
£31.50
I've just had a look and unfortunately they don't sell unicycles. So that's my suggestion scuppered, as they don't do coke and hookers either
How about keeping them till you need/want something?
Are they in small denominations or just a fat £500?
If the former... eBay a couple a week
Got 5x £100 ones. Unicycle would have been a laugh!
How can you not need anything? You ride bikes ffs
You have 4 bikes, £500 and nothing needs fixing/replacing/upgrading or you don't just want stuff. Hmm, does not compute.
A power meter for the road bike (Garmin Vector 2S, Pioneer both around £500)? Super fancy Garmin/GPS like an Edge 1000?
If there's really nothing you need/want then either sell em as separate £100 vouchers for cold hard cash, or sit on them til closer to the expiry date (if they have any). Sod's Law you'll use em for something you don't need and a week later your forks fill go pop or something.

Clothing?
Shoes?
There's always [i]something [/i]worn out on any bike isn't there!?
Evoc Bike Travel Bag?
Park Tool Pro Travel and Event Toolkit?
£500 worth of cycle passion calendars, (if wiggle still do them)
events? you could do a full series of events.
but seriously you can't be riding your bikes enough, atleast buy some consumables, tyres/tubes/chains/cassettes
Can you not redeem them for cash ? I would phone and ask.
BAHWOOOP! TROLL ALERT...
Surely with an interest in bikes, £500 free to spend as you wish is a dream come true. No?
Not a troll, I promise you that. If you can redeem them for cash then happy days as far as I'm concerned. I've got lots of stuff I need to buy as I left my company to go self employed. The events are a good shout and I guess I could stock up on various bits and pieces.
I want to order an Edge 1000, you could do me a good deal on the vouchers.
i'll give you £350 for them? provided they dont run out very soon.
Cant understand how you can not want £5000 worth of stuff from Wiggle, £500 would barely scratch the surface.
Wheel upgrades,tyres (cos you can never have too many), fancy windproof jackets, expensive shorts (once you've had a pair you'll wonder why you never did before), power meter, a years supply of energy/recovery drink, spare brake pads, cleats, drinks bottles, featherweight shoes that mould to your feet. The list could go on forever.
Fifeandy, I literally have all that stuff. Having been riding a while I've built up quite a collection. I've only just bought a new helmet as well.
Now if Wiggle did custom wheel builds then that'd be handy but as far as I can see they don't?
Jeez fifeandy, don't say what you might buy until we're sure this isn't a mumsnet infiltration by our wives/girlfriends to work out what to look out for in the post/garage.

So buy another helmet in a different colour (I have 3 Prevails in different colours), some nice sunglasses, buy the component parts of your wheel build and find a local builder.
Stock up on spare transmissions.
I cannot understand how anyone can genuinely not be able to buy anything! I get wanting to get something worthwhile, but genuinely nothing!?
Get pissed, go on internet. Presto!
Chains, cassettes, tyres, lubes, cables. Always handy to have spares ready in case a failure means no riding.I guess I could stock up on various bits and pieces
Or give them as prizes at local juniors races. Imagine the glow on their cherubine little cheeks. (Not in a weird way)
SRAM etap. You can't have that yet....

etap is over.
HydroHC is where it's at.

CRC used to, IIRC. As they're now owned by Wiggle?..
custom wheel builds
Use some vouchers for a wheel building stand and some tools 🙂
£352
If you can't spend £500 of vouchers guilt free at Wiggle you are not trying. Especially with four bikes to feed.

This. And don't peep at your order history the day after. It'll be a nice surprise then when it arrives.

It definitely ain't that! Got home from work and scouring the wiggle website again.
The get pissed method, that's dangerous and also explains why I have a lot of stuff.
Eastway Esaki
Proper track bike for a bargain price.or a nice simple bike for enjoying the pleasures of riding fixed.
I'll swap you 200 in Evans vouchers for £200 in Wiggle vouchers. I need some new road disc wheels and Evans don't have any thing decent in stock. Well I should say light and cheapish.
Chains, brake pads, lube, lights,
Bib shorts, sealant and a park tool hammer.
A good wetsuit, a pair of trainers and an aero helmet. Tri something new.
(see what I did there?)
It's just taken me 2 mins to spend £500 (in my head). I clearly don't have enough stuff, or not enough new stuff.
Quite easy really it depends what you're used toI cannot understand how anyone can genuinely not be able to buy anything!
Hold a raffle, sell £500 worth of tickets and announce the winner? That way you'll get the cash and someone will win a nice prize 🙂
Friends? children? nephews? neices? Spread the love
