Merlin has Giro Radix MIPS for £40. Good light trail/commuting/gravel helmet.

The DHB soft shell is really nice. XL fits me perfectly at 5’9 and built like a Turkish wrestler. 2XL left.
Echo that, they're brilliant. I find them quite warm but I generally run hot it seems. Although I'm 187cm (6'1.5ish), 89kg and find XL perfect for me.
Just got dehydrated the 'order dispatched' email for my order placed on 6th,though after reading the posts above re dhb sizing, i probably ordered stuff that will be too small...
I wasn't going to risk as CRC purchase, but i've been waiting 8 weeks for this to drop in price
I was wanting some new armour for some UK stuff but also for Morzine later this year. But £300 is way too rich for my blood... £133 though, i'll risk that on the Credit Card for protection.
Fingers crossed.
Well I wasn't gonna buy anything else, but I've now just ordered an R7000 cassette (thanks cp) and a DHB Merino top for £11.

Hopefully the same as the nice Nukeproof one I got for £22 the other day.

Haha, I did the same. Those £22 quid NP ones are really nice and I'm hoping the DHB one is a very similar fit/fabric/feel as the Nukeproof ones.

and you beat me to it, sold out now
Are orders with codes working now?
I keep checking CRC to see if any alloy stays are gonna appear for the latest Mega, surely they had some stashed for warranty claims, they had almost everything else, swing links etc but only carbon chainstays for £50 added so far, they had plenty of both stays for previous models going back to 2016.

That sort of purchase has Tri_Sports_Resort (Wiggle ebay shop) written all over it. Save a search and get Ebay to tell you if any come up
I bought a set of the Lyriks last night, £214 with the 10EXTRA code. Decided to pay £5.99 for 'Next Day' delivery to try to rush them through and avoid having the order cancelled.
They're out for delivery today with Parcel Force. Some of the old Chain Reaction Cycles magic still lives on!
Can't see the screenshot but assume it's this text:
Hi folks, we're working hard to get your latest orders to you as quickly as we can.
We have a smaller Operations and Customer Support team than before to get your orders out as soon as possible and really appreciate your patience.
Our Customer Service teams are really busy supporting you and we recognise that lead times for responses are a lot longer than we typically like so please reach out to us on chat during the week for emergencies as we won't be able to respond to all emails.
We kindly ask to only send delivery queries if you have not received your confirmation of order. We will fulfil all orders placed on the websites. Sending us duplicate emails only increases our work to get through and further delays responses.
As always we are here for you albeit in different circumstances than we've encountered before.
We thank you for supporting us.
Race Co in Halesowen, have* a single (XXL) S6 2022 Specialized Levo going for £3250
* on FB last night, so may have gone already
Thank you to both the recent Shimano cassette deals. Order now processing and they both seem to have sold out.
Caved in and ordered those Lyriks and a 170mm brand x dropper next day delivery £272 . No immediate plans for them but too good to miss.
Fingers crossed my Lyriks turn up I had to cave at £210 means Ive spares when my set goes away from servicing .

We should probably get a collective fund to deliver them a range of cakes and donuts as a thank you for working hard in difficult times to provide us all a long lasting stock of large and small bike parts as well as a whole new wardrobe clothing.

Get deliveroo to drop off some ironic bags of haribo?
Is there any way of getting an alert if prices drop?
I've still got a few things in my basket that aren't quite reduced enough to be PSA worthy, and I don't really need so they'd irritate me more if I bough them now and the price dropped than it would if they just sold out at the current price.
Not that I'm aware of (althought I expect someone smarter than me will have some solution).
There's plenty of things I've bought over the past couple of weeks that've since been reduced even further, but such is life. I'm still more than happy with what I paid for them. I'd be happier still if CRC/Wiggle weren't in this situation and would continue to exist though.
I think bing (search engine) does some kind of price monitoring stuff, I've never used it before though.
It's relatively straightforward to write a web scraper in Python to check for you, I did to sort by discount - ChatGPT could probably do it for you
Alpkit/Sonder have a sale on
As above...anyone who is in the market for a £220 bumbag reduced to £154 will be delighted at the pricing
DHB Merino top for £11.

Thanks for pointing that out. I've got a couple already and they're really good, so bought another. Still a bargain at £22.
Sightly thicker Fohn ones here at the same price DHB Merino top for £11.

I tried this with no success, but I'm not au fait with python.
Wow, there were six small mega 275's in stock at midnight last night, all gone this morning. If anyone got one and has buyers remorse, I have ditherers remorse!
Brand X dropper 30.9 dia 150mm travel £36
Use code 10EXTRA
what are those brandx droppers like ? I have a scott scale that I think has a 31.6 post I'm debating putting one on
how hard it is to route internally?
DT78, the Brand-X droppers are good. You should be able to terminate the cable at the lever, so they should be as easy to route as any other.
I have a jamis highpoint i am looking at getting a dropper post for? It says seatpost measure 31.6 x 400. I can see the only size in the brand x is a 30.9 now. Can these be used with shims? Also is there a big advantage over the Internal routing. I guess an external one would be like running another disc brake cable from outside the bike along the frame so not as nice amd yoi have the bulk of another cable running ay the side of the frame?
I installed a dropper on my scale about a month ago. It's a 2022 frame, had to remove the bb as there's an internal mini lip/shelf just above it that the outer cable binds on when feeding through for the first time. Not hard just a bit fiddly.
Get a shim as long as you can, ideally 100mm.
Something odd was happening with those small Nukeproof Mega frames at CRC, clicked on frames and they'd gone but a separate search showed 6 still in stock, checked again later and they'd sold out, theres a giga frame without shock that wasn't there before or maybe I just didn't notice it, are they still discovering stuff in the warehouse.
I caved on the dropper for £35, mine is slow to return and a new air cartridge is going to be £25 so it is a no brainer.

Probably now they’re getting down to low stock levels, they’re able to do proper stock checks and align what’s held on their order management systems compared to their warehouse management system.
I inagine there be odd things appearing and dropping off as we get to the last days.
Has anyone found a bigger reduction than this? 99% off, now 99p for 3T cycle computer reduced from £99.99 (and still sounds like a duffer even reduced).
I knocked up this web page for checking on the latest Wiggle/CRC reductions and stock levels. Updates at 7.15pm daily. (*uses affiliate links, probs will never get paid though!)

Easy as, take the drive side cable blank off on the head tube, drill a hole to take the outer cable, take crank and BB out, run cable through now drilled blank, down the down tube and up the seat tube to your dropper. Put BB and crank back in, job done in under an hour.
You'll need a 31.6mm to 30.9mm shim, but they're cheap on eBay, get a 100mm long one so the theoretical minimum amount of post is supported - it's exactly what I did on my Scale last winter.
