[Closed] PSAs that may or may not be amazing enough to warrant their own thread

Some Altura clothing on sale at bikeparts.co.uk (have found them cheapest for a few bits recently, quick post, and free over £20). Not sure if there's anything wild, but maybe worth a look if you're keen on their stuff.

@thenorthwind Best place for Altura is Amazon, stick it in you wish list and wait for the price to drop. Had Eskar trousers and shorts for just over £20.

Cotton tents are very waterproof in the real world. See below for more details

https://nordisk.co.uk/pages/faq-cotton-tents-and-tarps

“The cotton has a hydrostatic head of 350mm, which sounds low at first, but it will definitely keep you dry. All our tents are constructed so that water is guided off the tent. Furthermore, cotton expands when it gets wet which seals the surface area”

plus you can reproof it easily and in an environmentally friendly way in a few years time

I’m stoked with mine, the quality is stupendous for the money

I've saved so much money since psa's were hidden away in this annoying thread.

Bring back individual PSAs

*glues oneself to the road in protest

I have a nordisk tarp it’s very very good quality and completely waterproof. I assume the tent is same material.

**** it, I’ve bought that tent, I’ll squeeze it in the garage somehow.

Uh oh I bought one too... But website showing still there. So more than one in stock? Or one of us will be disappointed!

Hopefully I will be triumphant.

+1 on the nordisk tent. Good size for 2 with luggage. Great quality. Bargain. (Though their instructions say it doesn’t need proofing and you shouldn’t do so.

I don't think I've seen this posted as a PSA yet. There's at least 50% off a load of the Polaris gear on their website.

I ordered a pair of AM500 TX REPEL shorts and some coolmax socks not too long ago, the fit and quality seems pretty good.

https://www.polaris-bikewear.com/

I think it was posted a few pages back.

There was some discussion on the waterproof socks that work out at 8 quid each if you buy 3 pairs.

I bought some and they're pretty good. Crazy cheap at £8.

https://www.polaris-bikewear.com/polaris-bikewear-breathable-cascade-waterproof-socks-various-colours-and-sizes.html

^ I bought a pair of those, size 9.5-12 for my size 9-9.5 feet. Real battle to get them on as they were a very tight. I sent them back as I was worried I would soon damage them just getting them on.

Shame, as they seemed well made.

Yeah, that's a good point. I'm an 8(ish) and went for the mediums as the blurb says to size up. They only just fit even though it says up to 9.5

They still have the brand new Nordisk tents available for £160

Thanks just ordered! I bought a Nordisk Utgard, groundsheet and bedroom in the Wiggle firesale but it's a bit too big for solo+doggo roadtrips, the Ydun will be a better size.

I've just figured out what PSA stands for. Little victories in life ?

Great price Cube One55 TM at Tredz £4999 nice bike with a nice spec, shame about the colour though

if you have a fetish for headbands like me,  saddleback have the castelli £7 and sportiful £6-7 lots of colours

or maybe the warmer merino bandito headband on balfes £12

£120 Nordisk tent just turned up. Looks brand new to me, I assume they ran out of the demo ones so just subbed a new one…

My refurbished Nordisk ydun tent also just turned up. Looks basically new. Feels really good quality , and very easy to put up in a few minutes.

Surely they haven't sent out a new one for 1/6 of the price!

Got mine today as well (non-demo £160 but still an absolute bargain), will be using it next week on the North coast 500.

I noticed OMM postal address is the same as Nordisk UK's address, I'm guessing this rubbish summer wasn't the best for shifting tents.

BikeTart have DT XM481 rims for a good price, maybe others but haven't looked.

https://www.biketart.com/products/dt-swiss-rims-dt-ex-471?variant=40809649406131

Does anyone know off hand what colour squorx nipples are supplied with those DT rims?

They have always been silver alloys nipples for me. They are also slightly cheaper from their eBay store, have been on sale for ages.

I got a refurbished Ydun. Very happy with it but the full price seems very high relative to their other larger tents. It had a bit of grass inside but still had the labels on

they’re probably not selling the discounted ones that quickly because it seems impossible to find navigating the OMM site. I could only find it via the link (or a specific Google search result link).

@onzadog I bought one this week and as above it came with silver nipples.

BikeTart have DT XM481 rims for a good price, maybe others but haven’t looked.

Great price, slow dispatch on the EX471s.

Wondering if they've gone on holiday.

For those on the Venn diagram who like their Ydun tent, Woodsmoke shirts, axe throwing (and Aquaman ?) … you may be interested in discounted

@chakaping I ordered my XM481 BH Monday and it arrived yesterday, with silver nipples.

Righto, mine must be on backorder or something then

you guys getting new tents rather than 'ex demo' are missing out! i got a free can of partially used right guard and a spare plastic bag with mine! 🙂

Apparently now 110 quid. That's expensive 2nd hand rightguard right there!

Just received a Troy Lee Designs Flatline helmet, £40 from Tredz... Ridiculous for the money tbh. They have various colours and sizes (but prices vary)

^

is the Flatline actually a

Flowline?

Doh, yep

thank goodness the thread back! money was piling up, could barely get of the door...

Hell of a spec on this for the price
