Just took delivery of one of these 'XLC' 150mm droppers I happened to need 30.9 with external routing.
To me it looks very similar to the Brand x ascend II that (last time I looked) was ~£130 on Chiggle but has been up and down between £70-150 on there.
£50 seems good IMO
At that price it’s a bloody bargain.
Yep really happy with mine and suits the svartling watch faces

@scruff thanks for the Polaris PSA, I’ve ordered! Always found Polaris stuff excellent quality, I may be biased as they gave me some when I cycled across Mexico many, many, years ago but some of it is still going strong.
Samsung watch 5 pro £329
£100 cashback and £100 trade in for any broken smar****ch so potentially will cost £129 direct with Samsung

Unfortunately, the T&Cs don't list any broken watches as being eligible (Appendix 2) and the maximum trade in for the Watch 5 Pro is mostly sub £50 (Appendix 1). You might get lucky, but it's not a given.

The selection for any broken smar****ch is in a drop down menu.
Seems they are now out of stock of the watch 5 pro but the offer is still available on the watch 6 classic but you only get £75 for any broken smar****ch.
I recently did a trade in on a Samsung Tab s9 and get the £100 trade-in value for an old Samsung tab S2 the wouldn't turn on.

Which says "up to" - I'm just saying to be aware that you may not get the cashback (according to the T&Cs).

Fair enough. I can only go from my experience when I traded in an old smar****ch and an old tablet on different occasions. Both times I got the full trade-in value. But as you say I might have been lucky

Use this on mine and the same face in black on my old Galaxy Watch 46mm

Very nice Sir. Also like the strap. Where did you get it from?

Was an option over the silicone strap when I bought it from the Samsung site

Fancy Fulcrum gravel wheelset in 700c XDR flavour at a good price. Fortunately I'm happy with my cheapo Prime ones.
Gosh, those Rapid Red 3 gravel wheels look a steal, unfortunately I picked up a pair of DT Swiss G1800s for £170 a while back.
I'm not sure how the 2 sets compare but I'm sure that the DTs will be fine (still possible to get the G1800s for a similar price if anyone is interested - wiggle.com/search?query=G1800).

Anyone seen a decent deal on an external routed, 27.2 x 125mm dropper?

Rase used to do a external 200mm dropper in 27.2. CRC had a few 27.2 droppers on cheap- I ended up drilling my kids frame and fitting an internally routed one for £40 or so
The Trek Slash 9.7 mentioned further up the thread can now be had for £2,340 using code FESTIVE10 for an extra 10% off.

Northwave shoes at Tredz. Has anyone got any experience of them? I normally size up to a 42 in Shimano
I tried their Clan flat pedal shoes and found them more narrow than others.
Can't comment on Shimano but my two pairs of 45 North wave shoes are the same size as my recently purchased DHB pair.
Very good quality shoes, would snap them up at that price.
I fit 44 in Northwave and 44 in Shimano.
I have narrow-ish feet.
Which reminds me of:

12Fifty bikes had full, boxed X0 transmission groupsets for half price (just under £850 I paid from memory).
There are others selling them around a grand it looks like.

careful with those as they don’t fit EP8 motors, only the older series.
