yeah the code only applies to certain items.
Yup, dug a bit deeper and it's just items in their Spend & Save sale.
Well they've made up my mind for me, I was tempted by the Mega 290 frame but now they've put the price up I will resist temptation as I can feel like they're trying to rip me off.
Glad I ordered the Vitus frame yesterday - gone up to £399 this morning!
Was tempted by the Escarpe, Sommet and Mega - tricky one because I only need the Escarpe (I don’t even need that) but for £40 extra I could have had a Super Deluxe with the Sommet - trouble is for less than £200 extra I could have a carbon Mega…
anyway, it’s gone up now and £600 is still a bargain, it’s just less attractive than £520. So as I don’t need a full sus frame I’ve settled on the Sommet for £360 with the Super Deluxe shock. I’ve got a 170mm shaft for my Lyriks and everything else will swap over.
£360 is ludicrous
we really need a service like camel camel camel that tracks the price of CRC/wiggle items to see how much the price is actually changing.
Beware these little deals or you'll spend loads on the small stuff and something big will come along leaving you unable to afford or justify another big purchase.
A bit like the starters on an all you can eat buffet.
But the starters are the best part
Well that was a nice surprise need some new tyres for my Gravel bike and wiggle/CRC have 40c Nano TCS Light/Fast on for £12.99 each so I thought I'd give them a whirl, they've got other WTB TCS gravel tyres like Ventures and crossboss on for between 18-25 quid too, but I went for the cheapest option (as ever)...
Deore 11 speed mech for £14.99?

<p style="text-align: center;">Deore 11 speed mech for £14.99?</p>
Awesome. For info these work perfectly on shimano MTB 12 speed
Bought a couple for spares
5% topcashback too at CRC
That's a great spot! I just bought a new rear plate for one of these for £6.99 as well!
They are long cage and quite soft metal, ive bent 2 of them which is why I was looking! Just dont smack them off rocks and they work great.

How do you set them up for 12 speed? Do they just work ok with a 12 speed shifter?
They just work, I think the only difference between the 11 and 12 speed Deore mech is the colour of the writing on it.
Good spot on the mech - grabbed one for the Daughters Vitus build as I have an 11-51t 11spd cassette laying around.
Parts are the same other than 1, 3 and 5 and those look very similar. Parallelogram isn't on the parts list though.

Thread on the derailleurs https://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/will-a-deore-m5100-11sp-mech-work-with-a-12sp-shifter/
I haven't seen it mentioned here or anywhere else - Shimano rt66 rotors are going cheap here too. 6.99 for 180mm, 9.99 for 203mm, 12.99 for 220mm. Bought a few for spares.
Just a heads up the CRC/Wiggle returns are no longer free and need to be made in 14 days, so not as generous as it was before their site upgrade... Had bought a couple of sizes to try out and returning one and getting charged £2.99 (which is reasonable) more of a pain that their return form you can't identify which size you are returning as it's not shown there... only SKU... which is not shown anywhere else... Anyway back on returns, from their T&Cs;
The order must be returned to Chain Reaction within 14 days of contacting us and return postage must be covered by the purchaser. We recommend you use a tracked and insured delivery method.
Return postage is non-refundable unless you’re returning an item because of our error (damaged, defective, wrong item, etc.). Get in touch with our Customer Services team here before returning an item if there is a problem with it as we may be able to mark the return as free or refund standard postage costs.
Oh and it looks like you have to pay for the return voucher up front (it doesn't come off the refund) and no option to pay PayPal despite showing the logo...

This mmmbop seems bloody good value...
Still showing 365 day return for me

Substance VRS-1 Apex for a grand with DT G1800 wheels looks like a bit of a gravel bargain (if you're that way inclined)...
Cancel that, out of stock...
out of stock though
The 14 day thing is just that after requesting the return you need to send it within 14 days. It's still returns within 365 days of purchase.
I've bought the Deore 5100 mech to go on my advent x 10 speed setup. current setup works fine but the lever action is heavy at the big end of the cassette. worth a punt for £15.

i think advent x has its own shifter pull ratio. IE it shouldnt work with a shimano mech. if it does let me know though! haha!

Anyone know if the Shimano M5100 derailleur works as a 10 speed mech?
I've got a pub bike in the offing and a SLX 670 10-speed shifter in the drawers.
Shimano M5100 derailleur is designed to run 10 or 11 speed. Will work fine!
cheers Andy!
This mmmbop seems bloody good value…
But so does this Big Wig.
https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/p/ragley-big-wig-hardtail-bike-moss
Somehow the seat-tube being curved just looks a bit nicer on the Big Wig... Although it seems a chunk heavier.
so the m5100 rd will run 10/11/12 speed???
well my sommet frame has been delivered! just in time to save teh ebike from teh alps battering it was going to get. phew! now where are my shock tokens?...
so the m5100 rd will run 10/11/12 speed???
I'm using one on 10 speed with a Microshift 11-48 Cassette, no problems so far...

I think I might have more issues trying to use it with a an 11-36. We'll see!
I picked up the vitus mach 1 three, really can't complain for £280 for nexus hub and hydro brakes, hopefully will do great duty going around town and might get converted to an ebike in the distant future
nippers mach 1 single speed all tested.. luckily i had a shorter 27.2 seatpost or id have had to have take a saw to it so he could ride it.
first comment was that it took a lot to get it moving, then he was of, pretty quickly. measured it at 11.2kg small which is ideal to get him using his legs more and riding quicker, nice bike.. trying to work out if i need one:D
Couldn't resist the fox 36 factory forks at that price. Cheers for the psa!
Ok I quoted the wrong bit but they've definitely reverted to 14 days return from delivery- there might be some outdated information on the partner website egain (and you might be able to argue the toss until they remove it) but you need to look at the T&C on chainreactions actual shopping web site, there is no mention of 365 and they specifically say 14 days from delivery, and returns are no longer free, it's all here;
https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/terms-and-conditions
Under the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013, you have a statutory entitlement to cancel your contract with us and obtain a full refund if you request one no longer than 14 days after you receive the goods or services.
Confusing website but this is on the return page of chain reaction.....

I think the t±c info is the legal minium under distance selling regs, CRC however have enhanced this with their 365 policy.
I have M8000 XT on my bike, will the M5100 rear mech work? (11spd)
I assume it's a slight down grade but £15 v £75 for a new M8000 it's a down grade I could live with!
Nukeproof black line trail pants £35 (blue only). Mine arrived today and seem decent enough
@sturdylad it should work but remember it's designed for an 11-51 cassette, I'm not sure how it would work with the older 11-46 if that's what you have
