The Alpkit Bikepacking stuff is also available on Decathlon with % off.
On-one Wrekker Ti frame £499 at Planet-X
Small, and XL available, Large is pre-order
Ion on Sports Pursuit are always a good buy.
Good fit and quality at a reasonable price
Cheers I'll have a look! Is the size chart pretty accurate?
They have always been true to size for us
ION sizing, my experience:
Tops = true to size (and v good)
Liner shorts = conti sizing, so get L if you're M
Not tried any outer shorts/trews.
I have a nice M liner short here, if any S people want one cheap?
Their gloves are excellent too, I found. Buy your normal size.
I've got one of the hooped alpkit bivvy bag.
There is a handspan of clearance above my nose to the inside of the tent.
It was very light and bug proof 😄

I can also recommend the ion stuff off Sportpursuit. Got some tips and trousers and they're all good 👍
I particularly like the scrub trousers/shorts and also the shelter crew top, which is great for those showery changeable days where you just want a bit of extra protection and don't need a full on jacket
They come up very marginally large for their size I'd say. I went off the size chart and I'm usually either an L or an XL tops and trousers in MTB gear.

and some tyre levers?
Evans website has pinnacle flat pedal shoes reduced to £15. They seem pretty well made and I went up half a size and they fit me well. Just out for a quick spin now to test the grip. I'm not expecting them to rival fever tens on that front but how bad can they be. I'll report back after my test ride later. Assuming I'm not in A&E with a foot slipped off the pedal incident
Two Hillbillys (both T9 27.5) and one pair of 100% Briskers for just under £63 from Tredz with the popup voucher that gives £5 off for purchase over £50
Just back from a quick spin with the shoes and I have to say that they really were pretty good. I probably didn't need to go up half a size but I worked on the assumption that slightly big would be better than slightly small. Grip seemed pretty good and re-positioning feet was ok. If you're into big jumps and stuff you would probably be disappointed but for my riding, which is pretty much wheels on the ground mostly they were good so far. I don't know how durable they will be but for £15 + £4.50 delivery you can hardly lose
Bikes bikes and more bloody bikes. As if I dont have enough bloody bikes and even more bike bits.
What Im after is a Festool ctl midi which are about 500. Someone please find me one cheaper and I'll be forever grateful.
Not a massive saving but £472 delivered at Mister Worker with code MWDEAL
Never used that company before, so can't comment on reliability

Cheers, looked at these but got my GF some Five Ten Sleuths for £18 instead.
Plus £80 worth of stuff for me that I didn't know I wanted 😀
Tredz have XT brakes for £125 a set fully bled. That’s cheaper than the SLXs they also have discounted. Also big deals on the 2pot versions. Stumbled on them as they’re not listed in their Sale / Clearance lists.

Merlin are the same but cheaper if you use your loyalty bonus
Deviate cycles are £100
Haven't provided links as I still think you can get better brakes for the money ....when they work there great but the nice feel doesn't last long .
Yeah, Merlin have the pair for £235.
Missed that Merlin one! When the shed of bikes is all Shimano, pads, bleed kits, fluids, then they’re plenty good enough for me.

Which BB tool is it?
I know I'll prob not need it for another 6-8 months (hopefully!) but I've taken a punt on one of these. My normal winter riding jacket has seen a lot of use over the years and is getting pretty tired. Although I can't find much in the way of reviews, this looks like a good discount on something that should be pretty good quality. It should arrive tomorrow, so I'll have a thorough nosey at it then and report back.

If anyone missed out on the cane creak kitsuma deal at £250 we do have one spare as my son doesn't want to swap from his coil so that means we have 1 for our spares/back up and one we won't need so happy to sell it for what we paid at £250 shipped ...I can set it at 60 or 65mm stroke for you prior to posting just drop me a pm as deviate have now sold out of them
Hi @big-bud would you mind PMing me too?
I looked at the CC website instructions to adjust it and they seemed a bit over-complicated.
Your son has the right idea though, coil FTW 😉
Has anyone spotted any bargains on full face lids? I'm ater something for the occasional BPW trip. Budget of up to £150. Will need L/XL size for my big head!

Thanks for the heads up on these. Very impressed for the money. Not ridden in them yet but fit is good - true to size, usual shoe size is 10 and got the 10 in these. Quality also seems good. Great buy for the commute!
There’s tons of used, new and near new gear, tyres, parts and kit at the DTV table sale alongside Pedalabikeaway at the Cannop trails carpark Forest of Dean tomorrow. regular donations mean there’s always interesting stuff. DTV = Dean trail volunteers. I’ll be there manning the till with regular stall holder Robert. (Mick Jagger)

table sale at FOD see earlier post. There’s a Kali, new. Black large. It’s a proper large. Fits my velociraptor head.
Sportpursuit also have kali on sale, haven't checked the sizings available though as I don't need another full face
keep a look out for for 7idp, usually on offer and 50% off crash replacements, which i have used sadly
Has anyone seen any stonking hardtail frame deals? Something slack-ish, alloy or steel, but not a full on 'enduro gnarpoon' like a Stif squatch or those cheap on-ones. Must be modern geo with a short seat tube and long reach.
Ideally - pretty looking, bright colours, nice springy ride. Or a new Cotic Solaris but its half price 🤣
I can do you a deal on a used large on one scandal frame. Pm me if interested!
@snotrag I've got a large Santa Cruz Chameleon 8 frame I'm selling nice and cheap if it's any interest to you?

Yeah, this is a Shiva 3 Carbon. Sadly it’ll be a lot more than 150 as retail is well over £500 and its box fresh.
Garmin epix pro gen 2 for what seems a good price.

Surely the Squatch at over 50% off?
