Not as good a deal as the box of 100 Shimano stainless steel gear cables on ebay for £40 couple months ago. Doubt we'll see that again.

Are those Merlin cables stainless steel?

It doesnt say so, and mentions anti corrosion coating....could they be galvanised?

If the picture on Merlin is correct then those inners are stainless. I still have a pile spare in the classifieds for less than that if anyone needs to stock up mind..

did anyone get on of the cheap exposure diablo mk3 sync last week, mines arrived today and no "QR handlebar mount" in my box, as per description and pictures,
to be honest i think the listing is incorrect as you dont normally receive one with exposure lights.

Beware on the Camber helmet, the straps are in a VERY weird position and the rear one sits on top of your ear instead of behind it.

@whatyadoinsucka I did. Listing was wrong and it wasn't supposed to be included. I argued that isn't my fault and they gave me a £20 voucher.

"A bargain is only a bargain if it’s what you’re looking for!"

This is true - which is why I'm claiming this, if they turn up (and I know its an If...) as the bargain of the century. Wanted some 'nice' XC wheels for ages, just nearly bought some used crossmax on ebay for more than these have cost.

Zipp Hitop S 30mm Carbon Wheelset. RRP about £1300.

£286.

https://www.wiggle.com/search?query=hitop

I've just had my order confirmed. I made sure it was confirmed before I posted here.

The even fancier one with ridiculous electronic tyre pressure monitoring is not even that much more either. at £399... The pair. RRP about £1600.

Mountain Warehouse backpacker tent

(corrected link) https://www.mountainwarehouse.com/backpacker-lightweight-1-man-tent-p284643.aspx/

use FUN20 to get a further reduction, brings the price down to around forty five quid, has anyone tried one of these?

weight seems good but not sure about the way it seems to open up, fine if it's not raining but if it is it could get things pretty wet?

I think I got a Pro5 / Fortus 26 rear wheel in boost 29er size for £62.

Confirmation email doesn't specify the exact hub setup though, so I'll be waiting in suspense.

thx for the headsup

Yep, similar here. Found the perfect wheel and it went out of stock while checking out. Found another with a SRAM instead and bought that. Will see what, if anything, turns up

Got a SRAM Red AXS power meter for £200 (cheaper than replacing rings on my current one!). There's dual sided ultrgra PMs for £199 too...

Similar here. XX SL T-type power meter crankset down from £1200 to £220!
I don’t need it but it looks nice 😂

I was all ready to buy a power meter and then remembered it's still £200 I'd rather spend on something else. Did end up buying some other crap though. Fingers crossed it all turns up.

I feel for all the staff who are going to be working hard right until the end.

Bleedin Wiggle site won't work for me. Had to reset my password as one I thought I had didn't work. Now it is asking for my one time passwood code to activate my account. No idea what that might be and where to get it. So went to my Chain Reaction account and the same thing there is still £120 rather than the £30 on Wiggle 🙁

Light grazing so far. Expensive sram 1x11 cassette down to £70, grx 810 shifters +1 caliper around £100 and a ixs body armour top down to £40. All stuff I've been looking at for the past week.

The wheels went really quickly!
