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

The H Samuel 10% excludes smart watches unfortunately. Point 5 in T&C.

Still a great price on the Epix!

PS5 controllers are £38 on Amazon in certain colours, including black.

It Takes Two was £10 on the PS app so that’s me and the boy sorted for Xmas down time!

Carbon GT Grade with 10-speed GRX seems value at a grand

Wow, that definitely would warrant it’s own thread.

Says it’s a “high-mod” carbon frame too.

The GT is indeed a great buy. It has been that price for a couple of weeks, but I had not posted up as was debating buying one myself… had a Mk1 Grade previously and loved it.

Sorry to say but just had a notification that the discount is 49% for the next 10 9 hours!

Bargain car parts!

That GT is so ugly! I bet them seatstays are comfy though. Amazing value at £1k. 

dammit. I’d been doing so well.  That ebay/topcashback offer just made me break and pick up a 3d printer I’d said I’d get next year.  Been wanting one for a couple of years.

For any of you who bought cheap SUPs, this is a decent price for a electric inflator:

Blimey, the first of the running jackets has arrived, the one that was £100. It’s my first ever running specific jacket, but v surprised how flimsy is. I think I’d have been sending it back had it been £25, unless it is some super duper technical fabric.

I’ve also just had my running  jacket turn up.
mine was the one that was meant to be £150. It’s a nice jacket and medium fits nicely. It’s is thin but guess that’s what you need for running. If it is even fairly water proof then it’s a steal at £10 but no way on earth I’d have paid anywhere near £150.
thanks to @baddddad for  posting though…an actual Black Friday decent deal!

I got one of the £150 running jackets for £10, it’s really flimsy as well. Don’t think i will wear it on the bike

Isn’t that the point though? Re the running jackets.

Spend more for a lighter weight thinner garment?

Anyway, haven’t tried one myself, but enjoying my Endura Windproof MTB jacket which is wafer thin but keeps the wind out and therefore me warm.

Works components up to 30% off. Don’t often do sales either.

Mine turned up today, barbs/inserts included. I’d have bought a few more if I’d known! The sram 12 speed chain connecter dooberries are the real deal too, in proper aftermarket packaging.

Amazing!

I got the same one in medium, I found the fit good, the sleeves are a good length and not too flappy and the packed size is nice and dinky which was what I primarily wanted.
But yeah if I’d paid £20 let alone the supposed £100 list price I’d have been returning it. Interestingly it seems like it lacks features features that many runners would typically look for like hem grippers and draw strings, thumb loops, etc…

I’ve Not tried it in anger yet, I’ll be interested to see just how effective the DWR coating actually is in a damp day…

I’ve just received one of the £150>£10 waterproof jackets, thanks for the PSA. Looks pretty good, I’m yet to test its water resistance. Wasn’t sure if “medium” in runner terms would be too small for regular folk but the fit is rather good. It packs down really well, a very good just-in-case jacket.

+1

Looks like it might be too big, but fits really well.

Yes it’s very flimsy, but that might be good for running. Will test in the next couple of days.

Also got one of the £5 LS running tops, nice mango colour. That’s thin too, but fits great.

The DHB jacket is pretty decent hot running bring lightweight, vents under arms, so far waterproof. Don’t know how good long term, but as a lightweight waterproof it’s decent.  Don’t want a heavy jacket at all whilst running.

Yeah I went for a late drizzley stroll in it yesterday.
For a tenner it’s a good purchase, the perforated pits are a simple solution.

If I could have pretty much the same thing, but with a slightly longer back and a zipped rear pocket, delete the hood but keep a high-ish collar with the same drawstrings to seal up the neck a bit that would be good. I found the hood actually works OK, and can sort of act like a snood/buff would when zipped up to my chin, the hood bunches at the back to provide some neck coverage which could work well on the bike.
I’d maybe pay ~£25 for a sort of ‘Wishlist’ ultralight cycling Pack-a-mac like that perhaps. But anyone who dropped £100+ on a DHB running jacket must be insane.

@cookaa not sure I would pay anywhere near the list price for it.

For what I paid I thinks it’s decent, hopefully lasts ok.
