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

For anyone else trying the Strava PSA –

I couldn’t get it to work on my existing subscription so I cancelled my subscription and hoped to try the code once my last month had run its course. But now the codes expired…

but then Strava offered me a year at half price to rejoin. so well worth doing a fake cancellation if you’re an existing subscriber.

“Specialized All Condition Armadillo Elite Bike Tyre- 700x28c Folding”

My Sirrus came with the 2012 version of Specialized 700x28c Armadillos and they were the worst tyre I’ve ever used. They were horrible to ride, difficult to fit, and not that puncture resistant. Hopefully they’ve improved.

How long until you got sent the email with the half price offer? My subscription runs out in October and was set to renew for £55
I’ve cancelled the subscription and hoping they will email offering half price to sign in up again but im not holding my breath

Anyone small enough for a cheap Yeti ARC?

https://www.bike-components.de/en/Yeti-Cycles/ARC-TURQ-Carbon-29-Frameset-p84820/?v=125036-turquoise

Won’t that Yeti be back at full price by the time you’ve paid import duty and VAT?

Nah, assuming you are in the UK, the pre and post discount prices are both sans vat.  With vat it  was around 2100 Eur.

Agree that it’s not that amazing an offer

🤷‍♂️

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

An ARC Turq frame is currently £2k in the UK…that frame will be ~£1200-£1300 (after exchange/VAT/Duty).  Up to an £800 seemed like a decent saving to me.

I sit corrected 🙂

My main reason for posting was just to answer  fin’s query around VAT

By the way oneup components have a sale – just got myself a pump with an edc inside for my gravel bike https://uk.oneupcomponents.com/ took 2 days from order to arrive

Thanks quentyn, been thinking about getting an EDC pump for a bit so that’s pushed me over the edge

Some really good deals on Terrex bits on Sports Direct/House of Fraser, have always found it to be great quality kit. A lot of ski and trail running kit but most will be bike suitable too, just picked up a Goretex jacket for under £40

I see that ebay seller Tri-Sport-Resort, that was previously linked to CRC is now trading under Evans cycles.

Might be that Evans bought their stock, or such. But I’ve had a number of bargains out this seller over the years so its probably worth a look in now and again.

Might be that Evans bought their stock, or such. But I’ve had a number of bargains out this seller over the years so its probably worth a look in now and again.

Different model now though. Previously it was all auction, mostly starting at £0.99. If you were after something that wasn’t popular then some super bargains were possible. I “accidentally” bought a new road bike by putting in what I thought was a ludicrously low bid 😂

Extra 10% off the reduced prices on Hunt Wheels at the moment.

I quite fancy a set of the Proven Carbon XC wheels for my Epic…

https://www.huntbikewheels.com/

^^ yes. Good price.

I wonder if the 10% off is stackable with the £40 off for first order?

It would then work out at £690.

CL a pain but I could live with it.

It says the 10% isn’t valid with any other codes.
