Happy New Year all - you know the drill by now (2025's thread here). To kick things off I was in Start Fitness in Newcastle yesterday. They have some cracking deals on their website (and instore too). As most won't be in a location to visit these are pretty tasty deals online -
Missed opportunity to rename the thread to something more succinct!
How about deals deals deals! Or bargains galore!
Should have gone with Deals for the Wheels. Will keep it in the bank for 27
Ah the infamous TLD turd T shirt…

Works on tri-sport_resort, the old CRC and now Evans one as well. Just got an upper Hope headset for £26.
I spotted this amazing double disc adapter on aliexpress... 8 pot front and rear! The rear one doens't seem to line up so well though. Its fine. I'm sure its fine.

Luxury Christmas puddings on sale in lots of places - Tesco Express are good. Ignore the March 26 sell by date, I buy them every year and use them the following year, not sure what the decadent refers to though!
Wow. Just, wow !
(at the double brake mount; I've seen Christmas puddings before)
24 month matured Christmas pud
That double brake mount is scary. Also, you would think they could aligned the caliper with the rotor for the photos.
Anyone seen a decent deal on 800mm carbon bars?

Perfect for your Temu 9000watt illegal eBike, innit.
JustRidingAlong roadie wheels. Cracking for the £250 price
Does this have Hozelock connectors? The portable-ness is very handy, but would be excellent if I could attach to my existing hose at home.
i'm not sure that you can run it from a standard hose connected to a tap?

You certainly can on the cheap aliexpress one I have

You can, I regularly plug my Worx into the hose at home, just detach the regular hose.
If at home, fill a bucket with very hot water - makes the bike washing far easier. Unless you have an outside tap that does hot water.
Not a bike PSA, But Attain have a big (and rare) sale on if anyone needs a running cap. I've just picked up a trucker one for summer.

You sure that’s ok to do? My Kranzle jet wash specifically says to use cold water only. Not sure the reasoning mind.

Hot water could cause the seals to swell?
Our outdoor hot tap is limited to 38°C to protect that dog from scalding. Works really well for bike washing as well
Probably depends on how really hot your tap runs...I fill my bucket up from the hot tap and take it outside...been doing this for a year and a bit with my Worx portable jet wash (which isn't the higher powered model) and it has been absolutely fine.
Once done I drain the hose and the hose, bucket and jet wash get left in the house.
Given how easy an absolutely manky bike can be cleaned with just the hot water, it seems a no-brainer to me...it takes less than 5 minutes to wash the bike so it isn't running for a long time. Gets used weekly and hasn't complained yet.
Sponge and a bucket of hot water probably does the same job, just not as easily or as quickly.

I figured it was to stop the pump from overheating

That's perfect for anyone sitting with a £1k cycle to work voucher. Nothing flashy, just right for an e-assisted commute for normal people.
Raleigh looks great, but I can't find any geometry or sizing info on the frame. Some of these hybrids are road frames with short very top tubes lengths (e.g. 560mm on a large, rather than 600mm ish). I've tried that before and couldn't get on with it, especially climbing or out of the saddle.
Out of curiosity, I've been looking for geometry info for that Raleigh ebike, but the best I've found suggests the frame size number is seat tube length, very weird that Raleigh site gives so little info!
No mediums left in either colour now.
sounds like they are sizing it in the way that normal people care about, ie the average joe knows they need a 17.5" frame and that's all they care for
Just paid £755 for a set of Hunt Proven Carbon Trail H-Core mullet wheels - 30% (standard) Hunt sale plus 10% member discount.
Before anyone turns their nose up, I have the same wheels in full 29 on my Stanton and happy with them 👍
Won't be for everyone, but a decently-specced, well-reviewed trail bike for £1,450 (from £2,950): Cannondale Habit 3 140/130 trail FSer. I've recently taken delivery of two for the mini a11ys first FSers after looking secondhand for ages and being disheartened. Not a retailer I've used before, arrived within 2 weeks and no additional fees etc. It was between these and Saracen Ariel 30 but they're still £250 more.
Benji of this parish seems to rate them: Cannondale Habit 3 review – Singletrack World Magazine
And the colour is indeed amazing - glittery purple and blue that flips depends how you look at it.
Those do look rather good.
They've got a good saving on those £840000 Fox 36s too! Bargin!
Brilliant. The RRP on the Cannondale is inflated on their website too but not on that scale 😀

That Raleigh looks to be a bit of a bargain, it’s my mates birthday in march so i may buy her one and ask Tredz if they could fit a higher rise bar, kickstand and a couple of panniers for it. I’ll give them a call tomorrow to enquire/ask a few things about it.
Here it is on the Raleigh website below
Tweeks have some cheap sram brakes. £100 for F&R codes, £149 for Code RSC.
Merlin have Codes even cheaper if you don't mind switching hoses or cheaper still for a set if you get a slightly lower model

@n0b0dy0ftheg0at Thanks For highlighting the link to the Raleigh Trace @ tredz, I ordered a small for my mate so I guess she’s getting an early birthday present. At 5ft 6” with a 30” inside leg she is on the cusp of small or medium.
As she has a degenerative lumbar issue I figure the small would be the better option, I have a new USE Vybe suspension seatpost that will be fitted as well as a 40mm Truvativ riser bar. Also bought a https://uk.ortlieb.com/products/velo-shopper?variant=50460696314156 .
As she’s a sorta “carer” for me due to my SPMS it’ll help her get back n’ forward as it’s 1mile walk from her end of town to my end and she doesn’t drive.

Our Merida is same system and we considered the Raleigh, but the local shop did Merida. It's a brilliant thing - enough power to really help, great range when not on maximum, and best of all a lot lighter than most eBikes.
Orbea Vibe similar too. Only gripe my wife has is it's tricky to plug the charger in.
I have a Mahler powered bike and the charger is easy to engage once you have the knack
align the arrows
push the charger down into place
gentle turn the lock clockwise
if you push it fully into place it locks on easily
seems obvious but gently does it
I line up the Mahle charge plug lock with up/down and then plug it into ebike, before rotating lock tab into place, simples!

While this is true, it's still a really poor piece of design...
Bike has arrived (Raleigh trace from tredz) , i only ordered it on Saturday night yet it was delivered at 10am this morning in a huge box, fully built up except for pedals and the need to turn handlebars around (getting changed for a 40mm riser).
Heck of a e-bike for £1000, will take pics tmorn
Not sure how much of a bargain this is, as the brakes aren't fully hydraulic, but NS Rag+ black large for £600. Orange version was on hotukdeals earlier, but think now oos.

great shout stu tvm
Tempted to buy a set just as spares, that's a proper bargain.
Worth noting it looks like they come set up Euro-style so could be a minor faff setting them up.
