How you can help

That Kona is a stonking deal if you’re the right height for a 54cm….

Think only the 100mm dropper post is £49.99.
The rest are the usual price £99.99

The Madison trousers look a great buy

Think only the 100mm dropper post is £49.99.

And only the 10-45 cassette is cheap, not the 10-51.

With a little effort these articles could be quite useful leading to more purchases and, I assume, more money for Singletrack.

Front only for the Hayes brakes, not too handy

Nice, ordered some Fox 34s for £325 for my spare frame 🙂

Those Hayes levers can be flipped so a new longer hose and accessories could make it into a rear brake

Realise that you are looking at cheap deals, but just because they are cheap doesn’t make them good. The reviews on those gloves are that they are in the main not very good, poor fitting, stiff and not breathable. And as @Rubber_Buccaneer says only the 10-45 cassette is cheap. You should also make it clear, I think, that you are cutting/pasting the manufacturer’s blurb and that these are not STW staff words as it sounds like you are recommending these items.

Sram groupset just dropped on my doorstep, Worth getting as spare for that money. Tempted by the half price fox34’s for the hardtail, damn my low bank balance!

I’ve got some gloves made by GripGrab and they’re toasty, highly recommended.

Most of the cheaper options are sold out! EG. Drivetrain only has £251 option available! 🙁

Or maybe not! Just checked again and its £154!! 🙂

CRC have some great deals on Microshift kit at the moment and SLX 7100 170mm cranks for £65 ain’t bad.

Two pairs of Madison trousers just ordered. Mrs A and myself both like the fit of their kit.

Comments noted. Good calls. Doable. Next week will ‘apply’ them. Ta!

What’s the sizing like on the Madison trousers? I’m a 32″ waist which is usually a medium but looking at the chart it puts me in a small 🤷🏽‍♂️

@gazzab1955 man, it’s a good job there’s someone with a brain round here, to help all us **** thick morons out. I’m sure we’d be buying everything on the list if it wasn’t for you.

What’s the sizing like on the Madison trousers?

They’re generous on sizing. I’m a 34″ waist, went Large, had to swap for medium as too loose but also way too long for my 31″ leg. Medium are still a tad long but OK.

Thanks @40mpg. May take a gamble on the small then 👍

to help all us **** thick morons out

@desperatebicycle you said it 🙂

Nice, ordered some Fox 34s for £325

5am and I’m looking at them too as a spare for the Ebike. I did buy a spare RS lyrik select but its not entirely ideal, and the steerer is pre cut about 20mm shorter than would be optimal.

 

Grrrrrrrrrrr I hate these sales 😡
