£31.49 with OUTLET10
Bugger, I tried EXTRA10 but it didn't work.
Molgrips - try through Wiggle instead ? CRC don’t always seem to offer the extra10 option ?
It had the code on top of the page. Too late now anyway, ordered.
I tried to place an order of some components last night and again this morning and they now won’t deliver to our address in Devon which has been used many times in the past. Tried a London postcode for a giggle and same result. Maybe courier companies have withdrawn service.
If this is the end then sorry for the staff
I took a punt on a the Lifeline TT-01 magnetic turbo trainer for the somewhat incredible price of £14.99. Ended up paying £16.89 (after doing the Extra 10 thing) as its a big, heavy box so some additional postage was required.
Ordered Monday, arrived yesterday. All looks good, seems to work well and as I already have a cadence/speed sensor on the road bike and a spare ANT+ USB dongle, it looks like a budget winter Zwift setup beckons.
Are people still getting their orders dispatched?
I've put about five in over the past couple of weeks, the first few were packed and shipped within 12hrs - but no progress on the one from day before yesterday.
Ordered yesterday, arriving today via evri I've been told (delivery to SW Scotland)
It's normally because there is something in your basket that they can't ship - happened with the tentboxes and ridiculously cheap exped matts

I have one from the 27th still pending but to be fair it's a load of low value random nonsense. I mean who buys a kettle bell, face mask, 6 x 26" tyres and a set of end caps?
Also just ordered two bargain wetsuits for next summer
I bet it's those cheap 26" Minions that are holding some of our orders up.
I was about to order some of the Horizon clipless pedals, so I'll add another of the £5 stems on - in case I don't get that.
Nukeproof Horizon CL CrMo Downhill Pedals down to £27 in red and purple.

I was just about to get some before reading that they don’t play as well with Shimano cleats and seeing that their own are OOS everywhere and no idea if we’ll see stick of them again…
I've been using Nukeproof pedals with Shimano cleats for ages and don't have any problems with them. Definitely a bargain at the price - I've bought a few pairs in.

I keep getting tempted as things come down and throw orders in. My shed will soon be resembling a mini Chiggle warehouse!
Things take a bit longer that they would have in the past but boxes keep arriving.
My order from yesterday about 5.30pm dispatched last night. I think that'll be my 6th, a single pack of Haribo is all I've managed in the 5 so far.
I'm still trying to find a decent priced 148x12 wheel in a 27.5 to play with mulleting my Fuelex

Same!
My lad is very disappointed.

If they only had a mad deal on the particular 11sp Sunrace cassette I need, I might not need to buy any more spares for the rest of the decade.
Hi all,
I know everyone is posting the latest deal they have found and all. I'm just interested in the future of the company as an owner of two Nukeproofs and one Vitus. I would like to know the latest on the sale of the company and assets really. My question therefore is, has anyone got any news on the bidders for the group?
JeZ
I ordered a couple of the cheap Minions and a Transfer on 28th but have heard nothing since.
the company as an owner of two Nukeproofs and one Vitus.
if there are any model specific spares available then buy them. They will most likely be cheap and potentially unavailable in future as any purchaser will most likely consolidate/downsize.
I ordered and returned some items about a week or so ago and got the refunds for returned items yesterday!
Stuff like pivot kits still £20 for my Reactor 🙁
They will most likely be cheap
As an owner of two vitus bikes I've been looking at frame spares and one of the few areas with zero discounting. Fair enough really as better they are not out of stock because everyone has squirreled then away as sold off for buttons but equally i hope new owners make them available as and when needed
Regarding NP pedals and Shimano cleats, work absolutely fine with the CS pedals, royal pain in the arse with the CL and had to change to NP cleats. That's with 5:10 Kestrel's, Crank Brothers Mallets and some old Giro Terraduro.
I stocked up and now have 6 spare sets of cleats! Contemplating a spare set of CL pedals as well!
Might see if it is not too late to cancel the DH CL pedals for the Trail CS then.
Great I have Mallet shoes and have ordered the CS pedals 🙂
equally i hope new owners make them available as and when needed
The process seems to be taking so long that I'm wondering if there will be new owners. Fingers crossed there's due diligence going on (by the sounds of the parent company health it could well be a complicated situation) and they emerge as more than just some brands sold on.

For stuff like dropouts and hangers they are so easy to make and there are so many owners out here that I'm sure they will be made available. Pivots etc I'm less confident but there'll be a solution somehow or other.

If they were profitable, theres no reason they can't just continue as they were but with different owners, surely?
Well this isn't ideal the (overall?) parent company Signa has now filed for insolvency with debts that total about 5 Billion Euros
5 billion.... now that is doing debt properly... don't mess about, get it done RIGHT !
Another update on the parlous state of affairs
Focusing on the (probably) more profitable part of the business sounds like good news to me.
well, they werent giving us thw reduced prices anyway, so no great loss
the decision has been taken to pivot the business model to solely focus on the
UK domesticsingletrack world market which currently accounts for 85% of the group’s revenues.

they've been pumping stuff out at 90% reductions or more, loads have been sold off at £1, loads of gore, loads of Ron hill today, not massive stock levels but some at 99% reductions, anything non cycling, wetsuits, running shoes, have been pennies on the pound, this is a liquidation, it's done and gone surely
Popped for the £15 trainer and an ANT+ dongle plus a couple of other bits.
I might just have a go at assembling a poor man's zwift setup just to give it a whirl.
It is starting to feel a bit like we're a pack of vultures, picking at a commercial corpse. Not that I have a problem with this, but I can't help wondering how (and how soon) this is all going to come to a shuddering halt...
Fingers crossed they can work it out
I agree... this is liquidation! Just can't see who would be supplying them currently.
I'm hoping it's consolidation rather than liquidation. Some of the stuff they seem to stock is... interesting
Might see if it is not too late to cancel the DH CL pedals for the Trail CS then.
Maybe it’s down to the individual pedals as I’ve had no problems with both sets of pedals and Shimano cleats.
The Trail pedals look nicer though!

Not soon enough for the rest of the bike trade I imagine. It must be hard to compete in this “Chiggle Liquidation” climate, just at the time that bike shops (as all retail) are against the wall.
I certainly won’t be going to my LBS for headsets, bottom brackets, pedals, stems, bars anytime soon with my stockpile!
Just can’t see who would be supplying them currently.
The speed with which stuff keeps being discounted and selling out, I reckon this is the administrators working their way through and emptying the racking, just to get some cash to pay off as much of the debt as they can.
They can't have any lines of credit now and nobody will supply them anything without up front payment (assuming they're already square).
Whenever any business bullshitter starts using the term "pivot" you know they're in trouble. Nobody's going to be buying chiggle, the competition are hanging tight and waiting for them to be finally be wound up...
