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

Dyna-ti I saw that bike last week then lost it. Would make a great commuter, although I’d end up blinking it out with sale parts! Shame I missed it.
Ladies Buffalo mountain shirts at 60% off.

Various Merrel and Berghaus hiking shoes/boots around the £25-30 mark on wiggle. Not much left and bit of a jumble sale size wise.

Really odd how there are lots of products with some variants 80% off and others at full price! Doesn’t seem to be a pattern to it.

Some superb bargain Crankbrothers shoes on Wiggle today, sadly not really cheap in Flats, but some clipped ones like the purple ones are bargains.

Boo, Hope rear wheel order got cancelled. V4 rotors dispatched but nothing on the front hub order yet.

Camelbak Eddy 0.75L bottle, £2.99 down from £20.

And if in doubt, try the SAVE discount code. No idea what products it’s applying to but it worked unexpectedly on an order last night.

Opposite here. Front hub cancelled, no news on rear wheel

Front hub shipped , but wont be surprised if it does get cancelled
nothing about wheel

highlights and stuff i bought
leatt flat shoes
leatt 4 helmet
leatt gloves
tld jersey
endura mt500 splash proof trousers, packable jacket
and the pads mentioned above

I had a couple of hope wheels cancelled yesterday as well, does mean I’m getting free shipping of the socks that were also on the order.

I ordered a hope wheel and subsequently realised I’ll need to buy a steel freehub for it for the ebike which is actually 90 quid, so hopefully mine will get cancelled to!

No cancellations for me yet, but no dispatch notifications yet either.

No dispatch notifications here either. But I guess they’re having to send a truck especially for me 😁

Well if everything turns up this thread has either cost me or saved me a fortune, depending on your point of view…

Balls, ordered a set of the 27.5 Lyrik ultimates last night 😀

Cannot believe the variances between some of the costs on wiggle vs crc eg I ordered a pair of those purple crank bros shoes last night for £27 from wiggle but on CRC the same shoes/size would be £90 less EXTRA 10 so £81. Also Troy Lee shorts there (also ordered) there are big differences too.
Still waiting for the dispatch notification as well, admittedly

Just snagged a few pairs of my favourite Leatt 4.0 gloves for £11.99 (I think I paid nearly £50 for the last pair!).

I think maybe the fire sale hadn’t actually started given the discrepancies in price.

Suprised they haven’t just stuck it all on ebay, but they do seem to get a lot of non-paying auction winners given the amount of stuff they relist.

if you use a 1-piece cassette carrier (rather than one where each ring separately pushes the freehub body) it should be fine with the alu freehub

Managed to get a rear hope wheel for £62. Hopefully it turns up.

Just waiting for front wheels to drop even more in price.

didn’t realise the code EXTRA10 at CRC works on the hope wheels.

Can get a front hope wheel for £119 which is very good. Not as good as the £62 rear wheels from yesterday though.

Does anyone know of any good deals on 160mm centre lock rotors, XT/XTR or equivalent pretty please?

Not quite xt, but Ribble has RT70 slx down to £11 each. Can’t link right now but sure you will find it

Shame those Buzzbikes have disappeared I had my eye on one and there were more than 30 available yesterday afternoon so I’m not sure where they went.

yeah it’s a bit odd at the moment really. Even across a particular brand (e.g. Endura, which they seem to have masses of) the discount is all over the place.

I wonder if thye’re just going through things brand at a time to work out what they actually own before punting it

I wonder if they are going through warehouse by warehouse (assuming their are multiple buildings at the warehouse site).

It’ll be some sort of algorithm, their pricing has always been weird like this hasn’t it.

the save code isnt working now
ive been back in and taken a gamble on some trousers and an external dropper for the lad’s bike

probably based on stock levels too, last one in stock selling off cheap.. or overstock on certain sizes.

you’ve got to wonder what hits many suppliers/companies have taken, think many will be wanting VMI (vendor managed inventory) with bigger online platforms in the future,

look at apple / samsung, they can manage their sales channels, volume of stock and its ownership ensuring payment of goods

and those free haribo sweets, thanks haribo, they are owed £20k

I assume the prices are linked to stock level of particular sizes as well as not wanting to overload the system with too many orders if they reduce all brands or product types at once.

Not sure I’d be ordering a bike from them unless I was sure i could get it sent unbuilt.

WYDS I think that’s why there’s only own brand bikes left, the others have probably been taken back.
I’m still surprised how many forks there are, and that the likes of Privateer or Cotic have t just bought them all.

If anyone got one of said Lyrik Ultimates and has a bad case of buyers remorse… hook me up. I was sitting with a bunch of them in my basket contemplating and when I refreshed the whole lot had gone out of stock, so I think there’s a fair bit of bulk buying going on.

My bargain contribution – got a rim brake road bike you want to show some love? Doyenne 50 carbon £270 on CRC with EXTRA10 https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/p/prime-doyenne-50-carbon-rim-brake-wheelset

that top spec rapide FS is at a sensible price again, only L and XL in stock

I got these for £380 and was really happy with them at that price.

@captaintomo those buzzbikes are back

E Bike XT crank in 165mm for £16.

For E6100 motors.

Yeah, I feel like they are just pushing some settings on the algorithm way lower than they’d normally be.

And the above point about managing / staggering the demand is an astute one.

So have people been getting dispatch notes for their £63 Pro 5 rear wheels today at all?

No dispatch email as yet for my £61.99 rear wheel. Ordered 3pm ish yesterday.

I think the word “algorithm” is probably over-complicating it. They probably just went through their stock and halfed the price of every unit they had more than 10 of in stock

I awaiting a refunded notice on stuff ordered yesterday . I guess a Hope / Rockshox bun fight ensued with the pricing meaning loads of orders they wont be able to complete.
