My ghost(ly) wheels turned up today (thanks for the enjoyable banter!)
27mm internal width according to my micrometer, so 1mm extra free 😀
Asymmetric rims, bladed spokes, tubeless taped and tubeless valves included.
1498g with tape. Well happy.
lovely looking aren't they!! tubeless setup was pretty painless for me also, no need to get the compressor on board.. just wiggled the tyre bead a bit and went for the track pump, literally my only bugbear was centrelock, but when you are dealing with wheels at that weight, that's what you expect
Mtb shorts £6-10 depending on size and colour
I bought these for my eldest 2 this summer and they've held up really well, good length, size up a bit skinny on the waist, but good adjuster, no liner, deep pockets.
Not heard of the brand before but very impressed
Yes, anodising almost slips off and you're left with a lovely brushed finish.

Just a word of warning - bare alloy doesn't stay looking good for long outside without polishing at the best of times, let alone on a bike that's splashed through muddy puddles.
Just a fraction too big, even for my legs. Sob!
Nice price for Ultegra 12 speed cranks in 172.5.
The RF Turbine cranks I stripped the anodizing off 6-7 months ago still look pretty good to my eyes, with no polishing apart from my shoes rubbing when pedaling.
Not sure if this has been done but this arrived yesterday. I've wanted a new bigger tool box for years. Quality seems fairly decent for DIY use. Free postage over £20 too.

Mega deal on a Fox DHX if you run a trunnion 205x65 flavour: https://www.bike-discount.de/en/fox-racing-shox-dhx-performance-2pos-adj-trunnion-shock-1
Only issue is the min order is €175 so you need to make it up with a pair of socks or something.

Ex Demos - Current version Levo SL Comp Carbon - under 3 grand. Dont wait around, theres not many left (one less, than there was this morning, in fact!).
I've seen them - they are mint. Under 100 miles. Barely look used. You'll do more damage the day you buy it leaning it on the garage wall. Ignore what it says on the website ref stock, you need to ring them - like, now. 1 sold on the phone whilst I was waiting in line. Will be gone by Friday I bet.
Good shop too, nice guys who know there stuff. Lucky to have them locally.
Cracking deal that Snotrag - glad I've decided I don't want an eeb 😀
thanks @ogden, i'd wondered who amazon was price matching on the THH-1 T-handle set park tools,
shame the click n collect requires payment as british cycling has a 10% code instore. that seems to be valid alongside the park tools promo
Google Pixel 7a £219 for the phone
Showing as £249 for me. Is there a code to get it down?

Looks like it has gone up in price. I found it originally on trusted reviews
I got a pixel 8a direct from EE last week for £229, probably worth seeing if the deal is still running ??

It is as I just bought one

Says you need to log-in to see the discount so appears that you need to be an existing EE customer?

Just add it to the basket and it should knock £140 off
Wow, that pixel deal is great, thanks! Is there a catch?! Am I tied to EE?! It also suggests I will be able to claim for a free set of wireless headphones...?

It is an android phone..... 😉
Thanks for the £229 Pixel 8a, amazing deal.
Strange setup though, the deal is only available via ee.co.uk and not via store.ee.co.uk, and the free earphones link takes me to a business-only deal. It looks like there is an equivalent personal deal though. It'll be a nice bonus if it works.
Thanks for that, just ordered. Been looking for a deal on the 8a and that is the cheapest by far.
And as mentioned in previous post theres a promotion for a free pair of Pixel Buds:-

An extra 15% off (nearly) everything at BikeInn with code bf15. it's not that obvious on the site - I almost missed it buying something.
Ended up buying

NEARLY pulled the trigger on this but... £15 delivery for a mini tool (well, two mini tools) seems a bit steep.

tempted, although i dont need one right now, i may do in the next year and usually just go for whatever moto or redmii type phone is decent value at the time.
is it worth getting one of these while theyre so cheap do you think? i only use very basic functions, no need for AI or owt like that, just decent camera and usual phone/chat type use.
and are the free earbuds supposed to be any good? might offset some of the cost if theyre better than the bog standard ones i have at the moment.
cheers
if you want a decent video editor - lightworks have 60% off the pro perpetual version
makes it rather easy to stomach ( especially as i missed out the last version) https://lwks.com/
you need to add the code LWKSBF24 on the payment screen (there is a button that says "i have a promo code")

Oh yeah, that’s mental! Wonder if it’s a mistake?
Looks a good time to buy if you are thinking about handheld or standard game consoles.
Just brought the pixel 8a and will claim the free headphones in due course. Thanks for the PSA folks.

Schwalbe Nobby Nic 29x2.4 tyres at Merlin for £49.99 a pair.
Rawvelo gels, bars and drinks currently have some discount codes, the headline being 40% off everything using 40over60. Highly recommended if you want energy or recovery products without a load of extra guff in them. The gels are my go to, either blood orange or passionfruit - both flavours actually taste really good.
Sadexpunk, did a bit of reading and looks like Google are doing OS updates for the 8a for 7 years so should be able the keep it for a good while. Maybe worth paying the £40 extra for the 256mb version though as it doesn't have an SD slot and no doubt the app sizes and OS will continue to grow.
Just need to not drop this one!
Ravemen lights discounted on Amazon for black Friday including their top of range all in one, the pr2400, at £120 (£149 on Merlin)
Bought one the other week (for more!) and it's a lovely bit of kit
