that @mtbroutes page is awesome. if you want to find all products sorted by discount, open that link (desktop), press f12, and in the console whack the following - it should show all in-stock products sorted by discount amount. For some reason its not working 100% - the items are sorted but also grouped so it goes 99->0 a couple of times. no idea why - maybe a parent div issue or something, I haven't done js in about 20 years
$(".productList").first().html( $('li').sort(function (a, b) {
var contentA =parseInt( $(a).find('.discount_percent').text().replace('(', '').replace(')','').replace('%',''));
var contentB =parseInt( $(b).find('.discount_percent').text().replace('(', '').replace(')','').replace('%',''));
return (contentA < contentB) ? -1 : (contentA > contentB) ? 1 : 0;
})).show().parent().show();
Yes that is very cool. Cost me another 20 quid.
Returns portal isn't working any more as far as I can see.
Just received one of these, I paid £18 and am happy at that price (now £10). Nice soft material, looks and feels almost like cotton. Good fit as well, slightly longer in the body for cycling.
I like my brand-x. I had a slightly older one where the anodizing scraped off the shaft though, not sure if it was a mechanical failure or I used the wrong grease when servicing. New one seems fine.
The action isn't quite as nice as the similarly cheap level ones on Ribble, but I had issues with the head on that so can't recommend it unless you have a big box of spares to make it work with your saddle.
Only negative is they're ~100g heavier than posts that cost almost 10x more than that sale price.
ref: cables. I use a ZTTO lever which means both ends are terminated for minimum faff.
hah - cheers @mtbroutes - I also scripted something to pull everything into an excel sheet - some insight :
total products left in stock - 261,000
total value of stock left (at sale price) - £4.3mm
most units in stock - co2 cartridge (5000)
biggest potential future bargin - dropper posts (1100 in stock), doyene rim brake wheelset (122 in stock!)
excellent thanks @mtbroutes - there was a couple of items i'd been pondering that were down to last couple.
I did noticed a couple of items in stock on CRC but not on your sheet because they're not on wiggle. And one the other way round
Awesome work!
most units in stock – co2 cartridge (5000)
I bought a box of ten of those. Hope that helps the stock count.
biggest potential future bargin – dropper posts (1100 in stock)
I bought one of those. May have jumped too early!
Please bear in mind the stock levels are not real-time! Updated every evening.
Very good work. How long did that take to make?
@MtbRoutes, awesome work.
I may have jumped early but that's two 150mm droppers ordered - future-planning for mini-a11y bikes (both can only manage 105mm drop on their current bikes, but at £36 a pop I'd be daft not to).
Other things that look good deals:
DHB Dorica MTB shoes @ £17 in EU47 or 48 (I know these've been cheaper in previous sales...)
Camelbak Hydrobak inc 1.5L Crux bladder £12.99 (I've bought it for the bladder only)
Camelbak Rogue inc 2.0L bladder £19.99
Lifeline Pro 12" adjustable wrench £4.99
Does anyone know if Nuke proof Urchin pedal rebuild kits are the same parts (apart form pins) as the adult pedals (which are apparently all identical). Debating stocking up on 99p rebuild kits for my £9.99 pedals.
Please bear in mind the stock levels are not real-time! Updated every evening.
Works well enough though, if there's 40+ of something quite expensive in stock and it's only a nice to have then I'll wait and see if it drops further.
Very good work. How long did that take to make?
Maybe if MTBRoutes had been involved in the website re-design we wouldn't be here ........
I actually even like the very Web 1.0 interface, if I'm going to get nostaligic about CRC, it's going to be ~2002 CRC 😂
@thisisnotaspoon Reading the urchin kit reviews they seem to be the same bits so I took a punt on them. Not got them yet to be able to confirm this,
Anyone tried the Be Elite Energy Gels before? 20 caffeine gels for £4.50 with the code is pretty cheap.

Wonder where all the Doyennne wheelsets went? Reseller gobbled them up?
Had some in my basket for ages waiting for a further reduction. Glad I pulled the trigger on those Reynolds AR41s now...
dropper posts (1100 in stock)
How on earth are they going to shift all those?
biggest potential future bargin... doyene rim brake wheelset (122 in stock!)
That aged like milk - sold out now 😀
Not so fast, finbar. Showing in stock again for me. Glitch maybe?
Back on discount watch for me..
Edit, they only have 2 sets left...
...and away!
they might have some kind of stock reservation on there? there's no way 122 sold in one go.
Mind you, they'd have been bonkers to have 122 in stock in the first place - it allegedly went from 122 yesterday to 50 today to 0 now. Maybe they're counting the spokes?

I bought the strawberry and the berry ones. They are fine. As in I'll never be snacking on them.
Torque gels are absolutely delicious and I'd probably rather be eating them.
These are fine. The caffeine hit was noticable
Still got loads of SIS gels that are out of sell by dae by a few years. Unless 'expanded' I use them.
Managed to get a Camelbak and DHB base layer for £26, keep thinking I've done my last order and before I know it I've placed another £20+ order. Ive already ordered some tools and bits and bobs last week and a 105 cassette earlier this week!
That new programme is amazing, be interesting to see what's left when the stock levels have refreshed tomorrow. I'm waiting for the DHB Aeron shorts and merino wool leg and arm warmers for the road bike to drop a bit further and then I think I'm done.
MTBroutes you are awesome!

some good lifeline offers

I finally caved and ordered the Lifeline truing stand that I'd been watching for ages. With a question mark over it taking a 148mm hub I figured to get it while there's still a slight chance of it being returnable.

I wouldn't be too confident in returning anything now, given the closing date for bids is tomorrow. I assume that may be why all those wheels disappeared. I imagine bidders will want a decision quickly to avoid any more good stock disappearing.
Im glad I got me emailing confirming parcel out with Evri today .
right so is the consensus its a dumb idea to buy a dropper post or 2 now? I'm dithering because I really shouldn't be spending on bike stuff as there are more important things the money should be spent on...
Silly me ordered two sizes of endura shorts as unsure of fit. Anybody want some cheap XL shorts?
I have;
Endura Humvee II 3/4 length (dark camo type ones which come with clickfast liner)
and
Endura Singletrack Lite in Black
Anybody want both? Just PM me if you do. Happy to do both for £40 inc. postage.
Cheers.
they might have some kind of stock reservation on there? there’s no way 122 sold in one go.
I would guess the big drop in stock on thos items will be because of this

Hard to know given they've got plenty left in stock, but I'm happy with the £36ea I paid for 150mm droppers. Yeah they might drop in price even more but they might also go out of stock...
Despite my last purchase a few weeks ago, I’ve just spent £40 on nick nacks for maintenance and also a pair of the nukeproof knee pads as my TLD are starting to come apart.
PayPal, so should be safe.
some new stock today

Waiting for that bearing press to drop to £30ish as that's really only how much it's worth.
I already have a nice press from BearingProTools but I'm after the drifts in that kit.
@mtbroutes is there any way to work your magic on CRC? There are definitely items on CRC that aren't lsted on Wiggle
eg. Brand-X trekking bars.
