Placed a order last night and paid for next day, but I've had a email from PP saying Evan's are processing my order.
Is that what everyone else has had?
I'm guessing the next day bit isnt going to happen
received my bits next day. Boxed in original retail packaging (not oem), as described. Job jobbed
Cheers for the PSA, got some new footwear and the dreaded email from Hermes saying they have my parcel…hope it arrives
I'm hoping my 2 seatposts will come tomorrow ready for a weekend fitting, storm/Hermes willing.....
Hmmmmm... Mavic Crossmax SLS' for £350 the pair! 🤔
Tempting... Very tempting!
Just got a hope pro 4 rear wheel for £140, and some endura gv500 shorts for £24 bargain 8 think ?
Fox Transfer w/ internal routing ordered this morning but they've sent an ext' routed one in the wrong box.
Hmmm.. 🤔 Yari 120mm 29er fork...is it worth it for £319 vs stock Suntour fork on my Bizango??? Dammit Evans and your enticing pricing. Talk me into or out of it folks 😁
Both seatposts arrived this morning - original packaging showing £224.99 RRP sales stickers. So I essentially had a two for one deal 😄.
Just got a hope pro 4 rear wheel for £140
😯 What pro4 rear wheel ??
.
Oh Bloody Hell, i totally missed that. I need a pro4 rear wheel too.
Popped off and they still have one at least but i see its a straight pull, and i dont know how suitable that is for Ebikes.
EDIT:
Just off the phone to Hope technical department and yes, they think it is ok for ebikes, but not really best suited for rock gardens or anything super strenuous.
For my urban perambulations, its absolutely fine.
£150 well spent. I've reached my bike buying limit now so ffs nobody recommend anything else 😆
Don't buy a yari from Evans, buy it from CRC for 265 and change the travel yourself.
Just bagged me a Yari.
Boom!
We run a 29 carbon Rovals with straight pull spokes on DT Swiss hubs on one of the Turbo Levos and a Levo SL, busted one spoke on a sideways rock impact and local bike shop had no problems replacing it.
The others are on Pro 4 and Sixth Element rims
Thanks @snotrag, hadnt even looked for GRX, before your mention, thought I'd got lucky.
i ordered what supposedly was a GRX810LA (ie left handed dropper actuator) packaging looks to be a GRX810L which i guess is just a brake lever
also ordered a Tiagra 4720 hydraulic left hand 2x10 lever, hoping that is the correct one so i can upgrade the current mech shifters, just need a matching right hand 10x shifter..
also jumped on some bontrager aeolus 35 carbon wheels £374, £775 on many sites. just wish they were 3-4mm wider internals and they'd have been perfect. but alot cheaper than other wheels i'd been checking out
buy a yari
Fingers in ears, eyes shut la la la la la la
😆
Have to say, theres been some extraordinary deal of late. I think the combined STW riders must have spent many thousands on these deals over the last couple of weeks alone 😯
Don’t buy a yari from Evans, buy it from CRC for 265 and change the travel yourself.
Woah there...don't go getting all technical on me!! Wouldn't this involve further expenditure on the bits needed to reduce travel thus negating the price saving? I'm technically challenged and new to this spannering mularkey haha
It would only save you 20-40 quid depending on whether you got a new or 2nd hand air spring. And if you haven't done the job before, you'd have to buy some oil but that's cheap. Depends if you want to learn to work on forks or happy with paying to get them serviced. Sounds like the Evans ones would make more sense!

£60 for a £200 Mavic wheel.... considering i do actually need a wheel.... i can't argue with that !
I just got the real wheel ^^ - £65. Slightly annoying that it doesn't come with the adapters/valve that Mavic usually ship with their wheels. But only slightly.
Good that's it's Shimano freehub, cos that was a bit of a punt 🙂
Anyone got an order still "In Process"?
I'm thinking this might mean I'm not getting my BB....
Just realised that they’ve sent me Race Face Next R handlebars rather than the Sixc described on the website. To be honest the ones they sent are a better colour match with my bike so I’ll live with the £5 difference at full price and 5g extra weight.
Mavic crossmax xl 29 turned up today. Shimano freehub, all the mavic accessories, spare spokes, tubeless valves, spoke spanner. Only good for 9/10/11 spd which suits me.
Thanks for the PSA.

Black, 30mm? Arrived this morning 😉
GRX shifter set turned up this morning. Box looks a little sad and one of the shifters wasn’t in the plastic so a tiny bit rubbed up by the cardboard, but given I’ll no doubt drop my bike or crash within the first hour of them being fitted I’m not complaining about the world smallest cosmetic issues for 30% off (and in stock!). Cheers OP.
Winter MTB boots bought. Thanks for the heads up!

DAMN YOU.... 🙂
I did get a dispatch email today, although order is still "In process", weirdly.
