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

Out of most nukeproof parts now. Anyone know where else I can order a spare hanger or pivot kit for a 2022 Giga?

ebay in 3 days time.

I know I am not supposed to ask but I placed my Wiggle order of Fox helmet and shoes Monday 26 Feb and still only processing.

Has anyone placed an order on Monday and got any further ? Did it include the same as me?

Cheers

I put 2 orders in on Monday night. One turned up yesterday. The others still processing.

(Oddly, the one I placed last is the one I received)

I bet the remaining staff are swamped.

I placed an order on Tuesday (different stuff), dispatched yesterday and at the delivery depot now.

Ordered a Giro helmet and some Troy Lee shorts on Monday. Both delivered today in same box

Argh, bought a v2 dropper lever at £20 last night and now they’re £10. Oh well, think I’ll grab a v1 to replace the CX lever on the kids bike.

Dammit, my orders were all on their way until I opened this again. Couldn’t resist a dropper for the 99 quid ns frame i got last week

Neutron pedals at a tenner

Not as big a discount as some of the Chiggle items on here, but there are good deals to be had on some Castelli kit if they have your size – I got an Alpha ROS 2 Light jacket for £75.

(Italian sizing rules apply)

same here, its just arrived and is spot on (in fact I now have 2 of them). 🙄

@bikerevivesheffield good spot. Just bagged a pair for the wife’s bike.

My mate snapped one of these at BPW recently.

Just buy the butgtec nylons.

My mate snapped a burgtec nylon at BPW recently.

Just buy the Nukeproof ones

(Aren’t 99.9999% of pedals just made by Wellgo?)

PSA: sometimes things snap.

The neutrons are the worst pedal ever made and I wouldn’t buy them for a tenner unless the wheels of the bike never left the ground.

Sorry to go off topic but comparing the np neutrons to the burgtec is hideous and no not all nylon pedals are made by wellgo

Monday orders arrived yesterday and today.

Vitus 24″ kids bike down to £230. Been keeping an eye on those since they first went into administration but they had never shifted much below standard retail price.

Shame I bought myself a bike in the meantime with all that checking or I would have saved some money.

Caffeine Gels 40p a pop in a box of 20

https://www.wiggle.com/p/beelite-caffeine-energy-gels-20-x-38g

My £479 buzz Ebike arrived earlier.

Bike looks better than expected, not super cheap looking, and the parts look reasonably well made.

Only one niggle, the front wheel isnt happy about fitting into the dropouts, it was extremely tight, and i did wonder if the dropouts were aligned and might be twisted.Fitted it doesnt look like it is exactly, seems to be oriented correctly, but only taken cursory glance at it, but the front wheel isnt spinning freely, though this could be down to the caliper positioning, and seems the rotor is rubbing.

Compared to my full fat emtb it looks tiny, but it is only to save using the full fat for everything.

I’ll need to change the stem, to a steep 20d rise and swop the bars for risers, but other than that all is good.

.

Annoying about that front wheel/fork though. I dont want to return it because its such a good deal, and if push comes to shove I can always get a cheap fork

Seems to be a fairly large selection of Sonder bikes and frames on SportPursuit today, mainly showing as 30% off (I have no idea how this compares with current prices/discounts directly through Alpkit).

Potentially my last CRC order (RIP). Ragley Trig gravel fork for £99 less 10٪, https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/p/ragley-trig-carbon-gravel-bike-fork
plus a pressfit installation tool

@davidmoyesismydad 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Been riding these for many years as have most of my riding group, grippy, light, cheap, comfortable , decent size, how can you say a pedal can be that bad???

I know I am not supposed to ask but I placed my Wiggle order of Fox helmet and shoes Monday 26 Feb and still only processing.

My order with a Fox mainfrmae helmet in is still sitting at processing from Monday too. I’ve had one order placed on the same day delivered and another couple placed afterwards are showing as despatched.

My Monday night wheel order has just been cancelled.

The neutrons are the worst pedal ever made and I wouldn’t buy them for a tenner unless the wheels of the bike never left the ground.

My wife’s bike never leaves the garage so I think we’ll be safe. 😀

@devash – It might explode though and destroy the house and/or city. I’ve heard neutrons do that sometimes.

Nukeproof’s carbon Horizon V2 risers are down to £60 now or £54, I guess, with EXTRA10 from CRC. Really nice bars ime. Funny how half-price carbon starts feeling ‘expensive’ in the context of a slash and burn fire sale, when two weeks ago they’d have looked like an absolute bargain… Relativity I guess.

Ragley Trig forks are £99 on Wiggle if anyone’s after a carbon gravel fork.
