Same ashy I have the a1 but as well boils my head there’s a few sale a2 but in unpopular colour way atm. Hoping the all black one goes on sale at some point. Don’t need anything off superstar but sound worth a mooch you never know

Weather not looking that great tomorrow so could be either Degla or Cannock at this stage.
Assuming it’s Degla, should we be looking at doing the black over the red? Both experienced riders with decent bikes with droppers (Whyte T130rs and Orbea Occam). Used to riding rocks and steepish but don’t really do crazy drops and gaps - riding it blind too so don’t want too much stuff that we’ll hesitate at and therefore crash - want to keep a flow going. Will red be too easy and regret not doing black?

The black isnt scary at all Rascal. You will be fine.
Now, any sale bargains?
After some shorts, Madison Roam or Endura if anyone spots any on sale (medium please)
Cheapest was Tredz but none in my size
Edit..some bargains for Endura here if you are anything but a medium
https://www.tredz.co.uk/endura-baggy-shorts
I bought one of those Anthems iainc posted above just before Christmas. Absolute bargain price for a very fast and capable XC bike. Rutland were also great to deal with when the dropper failed after the first ride. I had a brand new post sent out to me within a week.
I picked up a couple of on-one enduro helmets for the kids at £12 each yesterday.
Anyone know what the Superstar Fuel hubs are like?

Assuming you're older than 8 years, then should be fine on the black
I’ve got a couple of wheelsets on Fuel hubs- no issues at all but they haven’t seen a lot of use.

Surely you won't get much cheaper than this http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/garmin-edge-520-gps-cycle-computer/rp-prod138428
Im debating between this and and the Vivoactive 3 watch.
I broke the fuel rear hub twice in 5 months and it was replaced with the new electro hub, which has been great.
Bolt
I want the Garmin with heart rate and cadence monitor pal think £225 is the cheapest but they were all on offer for £250 before the sale so it’s cheaper but dunno wether to hold out and see if drops even more. Just had a cheeky google at that watch and seems pretty good tbf that has threw a spanner in the works hahaha
they've been 179 as of the 11th december, cheapest at the mo without discount codes etc is 229.
If not an urgent need, wait a few weeks and see if they drop off again.

Going by the reviews on the Vivoactive 3 it is excellent, couple of software bugs and the HR was slightly dodgy when off road but to the bumps but actual GPS recording is perfect.
Anyone manage to find any sale bargains
No. But expected it in the current "climate"
Currently looking* for:
Samsung S8
Hope Pro 4 hubs
30-35mm internal width rims
RS Pike 2018 model
*and by looking I mean cheaper than they've been for the last 2 months or so. Prices seem fairly static, so there's no rush to purchase
If you see a bargain S8, shout up, might have one of those as well.

Word of warning I bought one from Appliances Direct on Black Friday for around £530 after using a discount code. When the phone arrived, the security seal had been cut and another label put on top. Returned for full refund. The manuals in the box were in English and Turkish. I suspect at some point the charger had been swapped from a euro one to a UK one. Appliances Direct fully acknowledged that the seal could have been cut, citing security and quality reasons.... which is a load of rubbish. There is no legitimate reason a supplier would cut the seal
Edit: I also found that you could buy the label that was placed over the top of the security seal from Alibaba. It said that the phone was European model and had to activated using an EU sim
Castelli perfetto convertible for a ton at Tweeks if you're S / M / L and want black. Other colours at CRC for about £115

I got an A1 today from westbrook cycles - cheaper than anyone else, decent range of styles and extra 10% at the moment so was only £105.
The Edge 520 bundle was £180 on Amazon (including speed/cadence and HR sensor), back up to over £200 but worth keeping an eye on any 'flash' sales, as Garmins usually feature.
Few Galaxy S8s going in my local Tyne bargains for £399.00.If that's any good.How much are they new.
I got a lovely 2017 diary for less than half price. 8)
Haribo variety tub (28 mini bags) for £2 in the local Tescos.. excellent trail pocket supplies! 😆
Spotted them myself steveh but unsure whether the m/l will fit and not free returns. Probably umm and Arrr until the colour I wAnt is sold out hahaha
Going by the reviews on the Vivoactive 3 it is excellent, couple of software bugs and the HR was slightly dodgy when off road but to the bumps but actual GPS recording is perfect.
I got the slightly older vivoactive HR in a black Friday sale, bern really impressed so far. Useful apps and features, ant+ and Bluetooth and a very quick gps lock
