A very specific one but this just popped up on my facebook, 4 nights in a glentress forest lodge for cheap, just before christmas. Thought it might do someone on here for a quick riding break.

I’ve run Maxx-D lights for 17 years since the first 960 lumen one and never had a mount fail
The little pivot pin on the clamp used to be a weak spot but they improved that design a few years ago
The only time I’ve seen the clamp fail is when my very tired riding buddy picked his e-bike up with the light instead of the bar and snapped the cleat
I do use a bit of loctite on the cleat bolt
Im not sure maybe call C6 to enquire
I've a exposure six pack that ive ridden for years with no problems. The mount is much better than those ive had on every other light. They are great, well made reliable lights.
The reason its circular is probably to aid cooling. They can CNC machine radial grooves more easily to substantially increase the surface area. A cool light will run more efficiently and be more reliable.
Pretty brilliant deal on limited sizes of Cotic Escapades (no XL sad face emoji)
Lots of tents, jackets etc half price at GoOutdoors
nothing interesting in the bikes dept
Parlee Chebacco gravel frameset, for big boys (and/or girls)? 70+% off
They also have half price Scott Genius's (Genii?)
My Rab Kinetic jacket has just turned up and will get used tomorrow. Looks like a very good piece of kit
My Endura bib tights, 3/4s and gloves arrived - all fit perfectly, as usual.
£3k norco (light) eeb
Bosch system, fox suspension, axs t-type, carbon front triangle, maxis 3c, etc... Impressive spec for the money!

Wondered if that might suit the wife, but that's quite a large size large according to the geometry chart
Might make a nice stocking filler - for some reason Josh Brolin's autobiog is under £3 in hardback on Amazon. (as of 8/12/25 it is anyway)
I bought it to treat ..me! 🙂

I was in there the other week looking at a non e-bike purchase and the lad serving me said he’d just bought one of those….given the choices he could possibly make (that’s a shop with a lot of choice after all!), that must mean something about the spec and value on those Norcos…..
That Norco looks a steal. Reviews suggest just the tyres and brakes could benefit from an upgrade, which is fairly easy and cheap enough.

no range extender available though?
That Norco does look a great deal. If I didn't already have a similar e-bike then I'd be very tempted.
There's a lower spec model in S and SL at £2.5k although the saving over RRP isn't as good. But a decent e-bike with a good motor/battery for £2.5k can't be sniffed at. And the originally-£10k high spec version is £3.5k but only in XL.
Very tempted by that Norco but suspect the 400wh battery just won't cut it for a rider who weighs 115kg kitted up. Shame as incredible value to be had!

on sale and a bit of a bargain at €399, plus €80 shipping to the non EU UK...
geometry looks decent, weight is sturdy, but it's designed for lugging stuff about on adventures.
On BUY Fox shorts turned up.
Now I've still no way of 100% telling if they are "legit"
But comparing them directly alongside my old genuine Fox Defend shorts they are exactly the same design, right down to stitching, logos, print, labels vents, zips, pocket linings, waist gripper and ratchet fasteners. manufacturer/washing directions label.retail tags and fox branded bag, And also exactly the same fit/sizing.
the only difference between them is the material which you'd expect given the Defend model cost more and uses a heavier DWR coated fabric and these are the lighter stretchier non coated flexair fabric
Thinking about it. All that does seem an awful lot of work for those nasty Chinese counterfeiters to force the poor children making them to go to.

Code MERRY20 but it should show apply coupon on the listing.

I was just going to post this too. Even cheaper than when I got mine from the same seller.
£327.90
PD M520 pedals for just shy of 21 quid delivered with MERRY20
Brill that. They have the black ones too. Not that much more than the price of cleats alone! They also have the platform PD-ME700's for £32 delivered. Mine are on their way 😀
Not bike related, but a good shout for any transporter owners. Saw it posted on the t6 forum

Id be ringing C6 first if I was looking for an Exposure light
I assumed "Call for Details" meant, out of stock"
They've apparently gone pop, so don't give them any money!
Walk in bargins 🙁
Pixel 9a for £229 on EE. You need to log in to get this price otherwise it shows at £349.
Black Friday sale on Endura website. Promo code MIAS2025 gives you extra 30% on top of current discounts. Crazy silly prices.
Any idea how long that code will work for?
Latest XT 4 pot brakes cheap on Bikeparts.co.uk if you buy them individually. Front is much cheaper than rear but still comes out cheaper than anywhere else for a pair.

i think that they have fixed it - i am logged in and the cheapest i can see it for is 349 and i am definitely logged in - anyone else having the same issue ?
Offer is still there for me. I clicked on Christmas deals and found the 9a there. May be an offer for selected accounts
Are you a normal customer of theirs or just someone with an ee account (like me) perhaps it's only fir their real customers ?

After that it's $20 per month, but you cancel before then to avoid that. Yes, you probably sell your soul in data etc, but it's pretty decent. I use it for work (it's good for scientific research), but I've just asked it "Burgtec RideWide DH vs dmr odub for downhill mtb" and it gave an excellent response. You currently get GPT-5.2, Claude Sonnet 4.5 and Gemini 3 Pro amongst the models available. Offer ends December 31.
Any chance someone is returning any of these to Endura that they bought multiple sizes to try in the sale?

Having ordered a set of pedals on 1st of December which were finally dispatched on the tenth with no communication from them, you might want to check if they actually have them in stock should you need them in a pinch.
Yeah, bikeparts are normally great but currently taking an age to dispatch.
I have a XL BNWT Endura Pro SL 3 season jacket in black, keeping the L I bought. Will sell for what a paid for it - £75 (£210 again now) or returning it
