[Closed] PSAs that may or may not be amazing enough to warrant their own thread

For anyone thinking about going to the MK Rutland Cycles after my post yesterday I've now been and unless you want a bike there isn't much point in making the trip - most of the stock except bikes is full price

Mammut have some half price boots, my Raichle boots are finally falling apart so taking advantage.

https://www.mammut.com/uk/en/products/3030-03160-0379/mercury-iii-mid-gtx-men

@jimmy - How did you find these? They don’t appear under the Boots section when browsing them rough the website? My wife is also after some boots so I’m wondering if similar offers are available on any women’s versions…

@afrothunder88 - I'd just googled Mammut boots on a whim and they came up in search results directly.

Oddly, I was telling my missus and she couldn't find them either!

I've had a dispatched confirmation though, so I think/hope they're real.

@oldfart thanks needed another pair of trousers and that seemed a good price so I will give them a go.

theres a ctek 5.0 charger at halfords for 55 quid with the trade card. I cant post a link unfortunately.

Your welcome cogglepin I've ordered a pair as well, rude not to at that price

A search https://www.mammut.com/uk/en/search?q=mercury+iii will bring the boots up. Ordered a pair for myself.
So that's a pair of boots, two Lyrik forks, BB52, 4xM4100 10 speed cassettes, a Rapha Infinium and a Rapha Hooded jacket that have been ordered thanks to the PSAs on here. Saved a small fortune compared to RRP, but I'm all spent up now so no more please!

Ah yes, searching for the various “models” brings up quite a few different boots and shoes on sale, found the matching women’s Nova so now we’re gonna have his n hers. Cheers¡

If you can live with the colour, these endura trousers are brilliant for £53. All sizes available. My pair are on their third winter and they've lasted well. Nice normal fit too, no weird carrot leg shape.

Only x9 Yaris 29 160mm on CRC left at £180 after 10% code

This looks worth a punt for a budget all-in-one light at £30:

LifeLine Pavo 1400 Lumen Motion Front Light | Chain Reaction (chainreactioncycles.com)

Might be best as a helmet light (but helmet mount costs extra).

@chakaping I bought one to go with my £35 Aria which usefully got me another bar mount. seems nicely made, not convinced its 1400 Lumens though.

They don't sell a helmet mount anymore that I can see, so I do need to figure out if there's something out there that will work or I can adapt.

Madison Isoler Merino Waterproof Sock £13.99

Seems a good price

https://www.freewheel.co.uk/madison-isoler-merino-waterproof-sock-varmcl21w81

@woodster - The description says max output 1,100 lumens in constant, so your suspicions are probably correct.

So I imagine it's a bit weedy as a bar light for technical MTB riding, but would probably suit some uses well.

Garmin Instinct 2, 40 or 45mm size is £175 on the Members Deals currently, Solar version discount too.

https://www.garmin.com/en-GB/p/775421

https://www.bikeperfect.com/reviews/garmin-instinct-2-solar-review-a-rugged-smar****ch-with-solar-charging

I think its already good value, but this is a great deal - not available anywhere else for less.

You'll have to follow the links over there to get this price >

Some great prices on some of the other models too.

They don’t sell a helmet mount anymore that I can see, so I do need to figure out if there’s something out there that will work or I can adapt.

Is it a garmin mount? You can get Garmin to GoPro adapters and that'll give you more helmet mount options. I have a slightly different light but I've modified a GoPro mount and bolted that straight on. Might be possible too.

Is it a garmin mount?

No they are a proprietary mount which is actually quite nice and a lot more solid than a Garmin mount.

Folk are selling 3D printed adaptors from go pro to Lifeline over on the ebay.

@cp, Thanks that looks like a good option. Will the 3D printed stuff will be up to the task for off-road riding?

@nickjb Sadly it's an almost Garmin mount, so it nearly works, but not quite.

Grabbed those rockshox Yaris for £179 - don't actually need them but figured it's not much more than a full service on my forks!

Eagle 1299 cassettes at £245 ish on Wiggle with EXTRA10 discount.

I have a spare Yari 160mm 29er fork. I paid £140 and if anyone wants to collect it from Stockport it's theirs for what I paid.

£99 for a Brand x 170mm dropper, 30.9 from go outdoors

Granted it isn't a massive saving but may help somebody.

If you're in the market for a new FS bike and a jump bike, Freewheel have you covered:

when you buy any Myst or Ariel, we'll send you a Saracen CR2 jump bike absolutely FREE!

Here’s how it works:

1. Visit Freewheel.co.uk

2. Choose your dream Saracen Myst or Ariel before 9th February 2024.

3. Use the code ‘JUMPBIKE’ at checkout.

4. Prepare for the arrival of not one, but two incredible bikes!

It's that simple!

Can’t find any deals on the Garminwebsite @snotrag - any more details on the discount? I’m def in the market for one of those!

I think he's referring to the Discounts available to STW site full members.

If you’re in the market for a new FS bike and a jump bike, Freewheel have you covered:

the ariel is already brilliant value, and a decent bike (had mine 2 years). A free pump track bike can't be argued with

If anyone fancies an overpriced, badly sealed, noisy, unreliable, scene points winning huh with an unfashionable cassette driver, CRC have boost 28h i9 Torches with HG driver for a smidge over £200

Some tasty sets of wheels for not a lot of money now available there!

lots cheap now, my wife got a Spesh Camber MIPS helmet for £16 and i bagged a grid trail 2.6 t9 tyre for £17.5, lots of spesh shoes cheap too
tough shout for the staff though

Are there any discounts on bikes at mk Rutland?

yeah all specialized, looks up to 50% off rrp

quite a few ebikes had a fair chunk off

 I've picked up one of the £99 Elite Tuo turbo trainers though I've not taken it out the box yet.  Do I need to buy one of those front wheel riser things?

I’ve picked up one of the £99 Elite Tuo turbo trainers though I’ve not taken it out the box yet.  Do I need to buy one of those front wheel riser things?

It looks like it raises the rear wheel a decent amount so, yes, it's probably worth getting one to avoid having your weight pitched forward onto your hands. If you are not planning on doing lots of out of the saddle sprinting you can probably get away with using a thick book, wood block etc.

Do I need to buy one of those front wheel riser things

Crc/wiggle are knocking them out at £2.99...

https://www.wiggle.com/p/lifeline-front-wheel-riser-block

Got one last week for my setup... bigger than expected but worked well for raising the front and adding stability

@alanl @faz71 my Mammut boots just arrived, they're quite snug but in a way that I think they come up small rather than narrow. Think I'll exchange for a 7.5 ( or try StevenMenmuir's 8s first)

There are a handful of Ragley frames back in stock on Chiggle, mostly Mediums.

Big Al in aqua for £157.69 (SALE10 code), last one.

Would have snapped it up myself, but already picked up a Scout 290 frame for £200 last week…

-

M Wave pannier rack.

Was 30 quid a few weeks back.

Decided I'd get for occasional back packing.

Thanks, they arrived at 11am, they were back at the PO at 2pm, far too narrow. Thanks for the heads up anyway, if they were wider they’d have been great.

Anyone after a set of of the Mammut’s in size 11? I have two pairs that will need to be sent back otherwise?? Ordered 2x size 11 instead of 1x 11 and 1x 12

Airdrop have a few cheap bits, noticeably one up V2 droppers for £115

https://www.airdropbikes.com/collections/outlet

Maybe of interest if you live in the East Midlands. This is my LBS, Rode Cycles, Southwell, Notts.

Update: thanks to @lucasshmucas for the links, I went for the Alpkit OEM revelation for £220 delivered as it was the correct offset for my frame

https://flic.kr/p/2pw6Um2

I got a pair of those revs from alpkit last year. Great fork for the money and plenty of upgrade options

WINTER24 gets you 20% off at Kinetic Bike Bearings. Valid until 15th Feb. Very annoying as I just ordered a full set of bearings from them last week! Might have to go back and stock up.

@pisco Andy is a top bloke too, I used to love going in to see him.

@devash thank you for this 🙂

Fitbit premium- mine came with 6months premium which expired. But they wanted to transfer my account to google (who own fitbit) and offered me 6months premium in doing so.(which i believe i can transfer to whichever fitbit i have)
Im not saying fitbit are any good, but they are better with the subscription

quite a few deals on older model Trek Top Fuel's

Trek Top Fuel 9.7 Full-suspension Mountain Bike 2022-2023 | Triton Cycles

Cheers for that one @devash

Full set ordered for mine and the mrs for less than £75 and will replace come spring

Anyone having trouble on the Kinetic Bearing website?
I'm clicking 'next' at the postage stage and nothing's happening.

Sorted..me just being an idiot. Thanks for the PSA.

Specialized website sale has extra 10% off at the minute, with free delivery and free returns. Just got this polartec alpha trail jacket for £85: https://www.specialized.com/gb/en/mens-trail-alpha-jacket/p/187991?color=1000093131-187991

Also just ordered the polartec grid fleece jersey for £35. Cushty

Apologies for missing the earlier questions but yes, the £175 Garmin Instinct 2 is accessible to full members via our STW discounts (link up there somewhere). Lots of other good deals too.

For the smar****ch curious - I'm really happy - I didnt want a big colour computer screen on my arm - this replaced my well battered daily Carbon G-Shock and its almost identical in size, and appearance.

email popped in this morning:

https://www.planetx.co.uk/products/on-one-scandal-sram-gx-axs-mountain-bike

Scandal GX AXS.

£1300 seems like a bit of a deal on the face of it. at RRP you're getting a GX AXS groupset and a free rest of bike, but the image doesn't show the AXS, but I assume it's not T type.

spec seems OK otherwise too, Pike selects, G2 brakes.

I think it's a good deal? I think...

There are some incredible discounts on Cannondale forks at Merlin.  If I had a compatible hubs, I'd have been very tempted by a Supermax and an Ocho!  Maybe even an Oliver for the gravel bike!

Summer/XC 29" tyres? Merlin again

Adidas Terrex Skyclimb jackets for £44 (M or F).

The styling is probably personal preference but not a bad price for a jacket with Primaloft Gold Active+ and Goretex Infinium. It says it's for ski touring but I imagine it'll work fine walking the dog on a crisp morning or stuffed in the bottom of a pack ready for post-ride coffee stops.

Just got A Maxxis tyre delivered from Merlin (DHR2 3C Exo+ 29x2.4) £49.99

Not a great saving but cheapest I could see and needed as the side knobs on my old one a clinging on for dear life.

No retail packaging and a white Maxxis logo, must have been taken off a new bike. I was so close to buying a pair of Kryptotals because the thought of having white and yellow Maxxis logos was making me twitch, I'm at ease now.

My favourite front mudguard...

Crud XL £20 with free delivery from Hopkinson Cycles. Mine turned up within 48 hours.

https://hopkinsoncycles.co.uk/product/crud-xl-mudguard-front-_-fender-mud-guard-mtb-mountain-bike-enduro-race-no-clog/

Specialized still have some great deals on tyres.

They had an extra 10% off and discount on sign up to email, meaning I got a 2.3" Purgatory GRID 2Bliss Ready T7 in 29" fpr under £21 delivered. Still there for £22 today

Sucks being a short arse doesn't it Andy 😂😂

Slam69 currently have 15% off everything, which makes some Hope stuff very price competitive. One-Up V2s are £180/210 so cheaper than above. New V3 version sounds good but they seem to be slowly hiking the price at each revision.

https://slam69.co.uk/products/oneup-components-dropper-post-v2?variant=32905351037005

Deviate Highander frames for £1,650 (£1,050 off) - only L and XL remaining but choice of 140 or 150 linkage. Note this is the original model and not the newer Highlander 2: https://store.deviatecycles.com/collections/sale-23/products/deviate-highlander-frame

There may have been one remaining XL in yellow, but not now...

If 650b gravel wheels are your thing, here's a big chunk off on the top of the line Spesh Rovals at Sigma. £1038 down from £2200 apparently. If they were 700c I'd be poorer.
