PSAs that may or may not be amazing enough to warrant their own thread

Yeah cheers @bens i also got a 240mm for a nice price. Lets just hope it fits the frame now!

Met Parachute (fixed chin bar) €120 inc delivery to UK.  Black/red, all sizes.

Met Parachute MCR (detachable chin bar) €175 inc delivery to UK. Limted colours & sizes.

I’ve got the fixed chin bar met, it’s fantastic. I’m on my second, the first one took a few knocks, it never broke, and it’s very cool temperature wise.

So on the basis of their so-so CS I wouldn’t recommend buying from Hopkinson Cycles

I had a similar experience when they sent me two bent SRAM cassettes – dismissed as me making it up basically. SRAM warranty replaced both of them via another SRAM dealer so…

@esky123 These legit? never heard of them.

Yeah I’ve ordered from them before they did alot of PNW before there was a UK distribution. Now trailhead has taken that over I guess that why they are getting ride of the stock

Thanks for the heads up with MTBriders, just bagged a very cheap Wolftooth dropper remote for the sons bike, which bolts straight to his V1 Hope brakes.

Tidy.

And some “safety orange” loam grips.

Gopping. 😂

Managed to convince myself I didn’t need a new dropper for another 25mm so just got a few bits instead and ended up spending £70. Whoops.

Thanks for posting.

Were you able to get free shipping? I’m trying to do the same but the charge gets added on despite being over the £40 threshold.

Those Loam XL grips for £11odd are a bargain for those who like fat ones for big hands! 🙂

@jamiebkc I paid shipping even though it said in my basket about free delivery. Something already sold out in the time before I checked out so I just sucked it up.

Likewise, £56 basket and £4 shipping added.

I managed to get through to them and the postage offer isn’t applying to the sale.

Just ordered a PNW Rainer dropper post & lever for my gravel bike, thanks.

Seems churlish to grumble about the £4 postage at that price.

There’s 45-55% off a lot of Castelli shorts/tights @ Merlin Cycles. Reasonably good size availability.

Braemar Mountain Sports have a few items on sale – more on sale rails in the shops – at really rather good prices

I just bought Pattagucci down jacket at over 60% off…

Amazon seem reluctant to deliver this to Glasgow:

Looks like MTB Riders has gone now, but have fulfilled all their orders. Looking back at their countdown clock on the sale feels rather bleak.

Tried to order on MTBRIDERS site Friday – hopeless. Chat messaged them – they never replied.

I might be inclined to cut them some slack.

Off topic, as it were, but good price for a decent phone – Pixel 7a : £329

It’s the same price in Currys and they are offering a £75 bonus on any trade in. Even a rubbish phone comes in at £1 so £76 off, as long as it is working.

Yep, just checked – I could get £70 tradein for my 3a on Google Store. (or £90 @ Currys)

Gravel dropper post just arrived.

All the best for Greg in his future ventures.

SportPursuit have Giro Rincon shoes for £65. I have a pair for road riding and they are great.

spd-road, gravel, or racey mtb

Black, grey and greenish (but not at the same time)

Not a discount, but maybe useful for some to know. Asda bike accessories are now supplied by Decathlon. Inner tubes, sealant, lube, cleaners, lights, bits and bobs and fair prices. Gravelly sized tubes £3.99 etc

Orange clearing out some stuff, mostly not amazing but I ordered myself one of these:

https://www.orangebikes.com/shop/sale/bike_components/ethirteen_helix_r_cassette_9_50t_12spd

I got a slightly different helix cassette during lockdown when everything else was out of stock, with pretty low expectations but it’s been really excellent. Awkward fitting but otherwise a really good cassette. Nobody ever bought one at RRP but this is a good price I think

deore M6120 4pot brakes on Alpkit eBay outlet. £90 pair and I got £8 off with a code

Decent. I bought a pair last week but involved buying separates from Merlin and CRC then the faff of swapping over hoses as they were both euro-style, so this is a great deal.

That is a really good one, calipers alone sell for £50 each normally.

Same price also gets you Guide REs from Tredz (buying separately, oddly a set is more expensive). Choose you’re preferred lever feel and win at life. I’ve just gone from Deores to the REs – both are great, although you could tell the REs have been on a shelf for a while (needed a quick bit of dot fluid round the pistons, now feel amazing).
