The website always had to close before every order had been shipped, I reckon you'll still all get your orders unless the courier loses them.

Yes, I'm still confident I'll get my last order - just would have been useful to know when to expect it or be able to track it in case of courier issues.

I've got 1 Wiggle order I'm waiting for and they took payment from my bank this morning so I assume it's been sent but I haven't got any tracking details. Hope I get what I ordered as they were out of stock immediately after I placed the order!

Using the links in the confirmation email, I contacted CRC this morning and my order is still on track, as most are probably to be fair. With a lot fewer staff and a high volume of orders, it can clearly take a while to get through the backlog, which is understandable.

Since the closing down of the company was announced and the many redundancies, only a very small amount of staff are left and it can take up to 6 working days for orders to be shipped. Your order should be packed and shipped on or before the 23/03/2024

@5lab I was watching those as well but they would have to have been hella cheap to entertain them - the freewheel/sprocket hybrid is going to be a pain in the arse to hunt down when it wears out and might even write the hub off.

The order I placed on Friday never had any shipping emails from wiggle just the Evri one when it was out for delivery. I don't think the site changed to shipped till about the same time as it was delivered.

true, but there was a bunch of them in stock as well, and most singlespeed bikes don't get a huge amount of pedalling per year compared to other bikes

As Wiggle and CRC are gone I've removed the pages I made for tracking stock, I hope they were useful while they lasted.

Since a few people seemed to like it, I've applied the ultra-simple interface to Leisure Lakes here:

It was inevitable really. Just days after looking at a bargain truing stand in my wiggle basked and deciding "I don't really need this"...

I discover a massively out of true rear rim on my road bike! And I haven't ridden it in nearly 3 weeks, so it definitely occurred whilst they were still available.

You really don't need a wheel truing stand anyway, it's barely any different doing it in the frame with cable ties, just a wee bit less convenient to set up.

This might be the ultimate man maths.

I just looked at those quicklinks and thought 'ooh, that'd be handy' - then realised I needed to spend £25 for free delivery, and wandered off to do something else.

Then I saw the LEGO Liebherr crane and thought 'ooh if I bought that I'd get free delivery on the quicklink'.

Not sure MrsMonkey would accept that justification tbh.

@walowiz yet you still thought youd add to there work load by chasing an order

Re the quick links. Free next day delivery with Prime. As I have prime it doesn't show any other delivery options.  Maybe the free trial might be available.  IDK

Can't remember who shared those thumb wrenches, but thank you.

Swapped out the screw bits for hex bits, they've already proved useful.

Have a virtual beer on me. 😉

@desperatebicycle

Agreed that list of E Bike stock that LL still hold is frightening! Surely they'd be mad to order in any 2024 bikes?

Thanks for that @wooderson, just hope medium is the medium/large as stiff had stuffed up the size names Vs size guide.

Fasthouse have some cheap short if you're a 30 or 32" waist. No idea what they're like but I've ordered a pair in both sizes, assuming they don't get cancelled.

That switchblade is a bargain - thanks. Perfect for an upcoming overseas trip where I'm not sure if I'm better FF or Open face

Thanks for the switchblade PSA. Was about to spend nearly twice that to get one very reduced! Total bargain

Do they have zipped upper pockets as well? Can't stand zipped lower pockets on MTB shorts, silly place to put anything.

This might have been posted already, but seeing the growing desire for punpntrack riding here thought it might be of interest.

£90 for a cruiser! I’ve just bought one, but you can also get a 20” bmx for the same price

Can't believe these were still in stock, I guess everyone's cupboards are full from the CRC fire sale.

What's the inside leg on the Zenith shorts?  (size medium preferably but anything will give a guide).  I'm tall so looking for longer leg

They’re probably about the size of a mini egg though?

Based on a visit yesterday, Tesco clubcard holders can get 5 for £1.50 too...which I may have purchased
