Well must say it’s a bit of a disappointment; should have known better.

Only real bargain seems to be the Cane Creek 110 Headset.

Anyone spotted any other killer deals?

logged in but it looks exactly the same – how have you identified the killer deals?

you need to log in separtely to the private sale site;

https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/PrivateSale/Login.aspx

(which I guess is restricted to those who’ve been emailed) rather than the standard site. The layout’s different and there are some reductions but not compared with what they charge normally.

You have not been invited to any active sales at this time

<Shakes fist>

It’s crap tbh. Your not missing much

answer pro taper 780mm for 33 quid 🙂 . have crc fixed the credit card thing yet?

Went on there got a few jerseys but nothing catching the ee as a real bargin…..just away to clear out their 2008, 2009 and ’10 stock bins I guess!

not a lot there tbh, just the colours and sizes that no one wants.

grabbed an Easton 120mm stem for a fiver for the single speed which is a bit short for me with the 90mm stem and a Lezyne mini pump.

Irritatingly they won’t let you apply any e-vouchers as I still have a £5 one and my £30 apology ones.

it is a bit rubbish thought I was getting a bargain on an x7 rear mech then realised that there is only a couple of quid between their price and the wider web. Got a Truvativ AM 70mm stem for £15…

It was crap wasn’t it… 🙄 didn’t expect much else but it’s annoying in that I wasted 10 mins trawling through it anyway.

there are a few bargains but nothing that exciting

more floods thats what we need

mostly non-bargins except an Ultegra Cassette for £40 + TCB is a bit cheaper than the web?

Well I was gonna get a set of SLX brakes anyway- cheapest had been £135 after the 10% VIP discount at merlin. Came out at £118 in the private sale so I’m reasonably happy.

more floods thats what we need

I agree – I’m beginning to use up my stock of ‘flood damaged’ cassettes and chains…

I like the Cane Creek 110 headset but all my bikes have king or intergrated headsets. Bugga!

Been tempted by the WTB WeirWolf Race Tyre for £13 but only because they are cheap!

The 661 Evo knee pads seemed a good price. I spotted a few other good prices too, but certainly not on the “home page”. Some of it was 2011 too. If you know what you need it’s worth a look. Sadly I don’t “need” anything

How much are you lot spending per year to get an invite to this private member thing? I’ve spent a small fortune over the years and have never received a discount code or some such thing from CRC ever 😕

I’ve not spent much with CRC recently – couple of hundred in the last year? BUT i have been shopping with them for years in which time I’ve spent a lot – admittedly a lot of that was mates’ money when I built them bikes.

I’m like clubber – spent loads over the years but less than usual over the last 12 months. I find it odd that they would want to exclude people from the sale though. Why not just announce another general sale and include all this stuff in it? Or do what JensonUSA do and have a Closeout or Bargain Bin section where all the old kit gets dumped.

A couple of items I put in “my basket” were oddly sold out when I tried to pay for them, yet they’re in stock & available at full price on the normal site . Its a Con if you ask me.

load of crap

xt cranks seems a good buy

jools that link worked for me?

there are/were some great bargains in there – whoever got the ultegra sti’s for £120 got an absolute bargain.

yeah tempted by the XT cranks as spares. £20 cheaper than mainland europe.

But SLX can be had for £30 less again.

Got some white stroker trails

Crank bro wheels are looking a deal or what .? 😀

hhmmmm lots of stuff that looks good until you get to the details….. funnily enough I dont really want a 2.7 High Roller

had an invite (probably because I spent over £200 a couple of weeks ago) but won’t let me login with my password ????????. 😳

bit irrating you can’t seem to chose to mix and match an order with the main site? As there a few other bits I want…

also some odd reason paypal has opted to pay CRC via echeque rather than use the actually money I had in my paypal account which was enough to cover it. First time I’ve tried using paypal for CRC…. hope it;s not something suspicious

(last time I used my them I got hit with 2x£30 O2 vouchers so opted for the ‘safer’ paypal route….)

bit irrating you can’t seem to chose to mix and match an order with the main site? As there a few other bits I want…

yup, really irritating. I’ve got a £50 voucher that I want to spend across both sites, but it seems I can’t.

Well, if it works out, I’ve struck the bargain of the century if the FSA Ti Bottom Bracket works nicely – RRP 175. To me, 39…

And I was just about to go looking for one, anyway. If it’s a good one, I’ll buy a couple I think.

Pretty crap for me. I was looking to replenish my flood damaged stock of chains and cassettes which is now fully depleted! Just got some chains and a spare SRAM x7 rear mech. Come on rain, we NEED another flood sale

Lots of wtb ust tyres on there. Anyone tried any of them? What might work well in the peaks?

Ohhhhhhhh Ragley Ti for a grand… Less another 4% with topcashback…

I got very excited at the cost of the Ragley TD-1.

Only £849.

There were 24 when I looked, now there’s 6.

Not impressed.

Liner shorts?…only available in xxl or xxxl
BB?…only available in electric blue

Pah!

I wanted some new riding glasses with interchangeable lenses but i can only find one pair and they’re crap! does anyone know if the 720 armour freedy polarised glasses come with more than one lense? as i can’t really tell from the ad.
And what’s an rx adaptor frame?
