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

Winstanleys have a big chunk off Exposure lights, plus, if you sign up to their mailing list you can get another few quid off depending on spend (I got a further £25 off a six pack)

Big Agnes tents and sleeping bags at Sport Pursuit.

I’d add a link but you need to sign up to their website to get access.

That’s annoying, I bought a sixpack from them the other day but didn’t know about that.

It’s a hefty thing, still trying to work out the best way to mount it

I only found out by accident when I clicked on a promo email in my gmail account and it opened up in chrome instead of safari. Still, even without the extra £25 it’s a great price.

Oops!

It was actually Sigma sports where I got my light from with the extra £25 off

sorry! I have been drinking in the sun all day 🥴

Endura seem to have 50% off all of their helmets at the moment

If you’re in the market for a new helmet, there’s some nice ones around £50

I’ve copied and pasted this from my browser address bar, for your convenience, and for STW’s comission.

Some good deals on phones on https://www.samsung.com/uk/

Been on the lookout for an S24 deal.

Minimum £150 trade in on any working android phone (even £100 for a broken one)

Plus £150 cash back

Plus a free pair of galaxy pro buds (which sell on eBay for about £70)

Plus 5% off for using the app

Brings cost down to <£500 assuming you claim/sell all the above.

Fjallraven have their Specialized gravel collab kit all half price – some nice stuff, some oddly leftfield stuff, and some frankly terrifying insulated boxer shorts

These just arrived, they seem nice and light. I wanted some pads that were less burly than my current pads. Seem comfy when trying them on, hopefully feel as good after a few hours riding.

Ordered cheers, look decent enough

Superstar have 35% off their entire range. Can we put the code on here? SUMMER 🙂

Like the look of that FjallRaven handlebar rack.  Looks far superior to fiddling around with annoying straps and contraptions to stop handlebar bags/rolls/etc sagging.

I’ve got that handlebar rack and one of the fjallraven bags that goes on it, its very good.

On one have a sale on (Surprise!)

On-One 25th Anniversary

£500 for the titanium wrecker -the ti version of the hello Dave. I’m tempted as I have most of a bikes worth of spares and my hello Dave has become a heavy weight kids ride shotgun vehicle.

£200 for a scandal frame

£1000ish for a gx scandal

From that falaraven/ specialised link- a poncho blanket?

A blanket with holes to let the heat out? I don’t get it, clearly I’m not target market as

a) I’ve never waxed my mustache

b) I was delighted to get rid of the a dial phone as it took ages to use.

Yeah you lot need to up your game….

Memory map app and os maps sale

The perpetual license allows you to use the map for as long as you like without ever having to worry about the licence expiring, but it does not include any map updates. Many of our customers are still using maps published many years ago, and that is fine when the hills don’t change. However, footpaths and other man-made features do change, and it is important to know your rights of way and open access land areas. We find, in practice, most people update their maps at least every 5 years.

@tallmartin WTF is going on with that Wrekker thing ? These HAs have finally reached unrideable in any direction apart from down 👇 🙄

@oldfart

I’ve a Hello Dave, pretty much the steel version of the Wrecker (so even heavier), and it rides just like a bike. It is amazing at going down steep trails, it’s also surprisingly good at climbing steep trails, and is fine going along the flat too. It won’t win any races: xc, Enduro or any other cycling discipline. It is however a very comfy, confidence inspiring mountain bike that doesn’t cost the earth to own. I’ve had mine 3 years now and can’t see me getting rid of it anytime soon. Would I have one as my only mountain bike? No, it’s too specialised. But it makes a fantastic second or third bike.

You should try one, they’re a right old laugh.

I’m not sure I have any use for a sleeping bag poncho, but I really want one for some reason.

1. 

@didntburt I’m otherwise engaged at the moment 😉

Cotic have some good deals on Taiwan-made Jeht at the moment as long as you don’t mind brown (I quite like it).

£2699 for 12spd Deore, Revelation RC, Shimano MT620 wheels, Guide RSC G2 brakes etc.

If someone could go buy all the mediums before I cave and end up living in a bike box that would be super.

Yeah, I saw their post about that – good job I’ve recently changed my trail bike frame, or I’d have been tempted too.

Could come round to the colour.

It basically rides like a bike. As dinthurt says up above it’s not going to win a race, but I don’t race. It is awesome for zooming about in the woods, the peaks and it was great the one time I’ve bikepacked on it.

I’m at that annoying point where I don’t need a new bike, I’m not riding enough to justify it, but hopefully I will be in the next year or two and this is exactly what I’ll want then.

And my old 26″ Rocket is definitely getting a bit tired, bless it.

Tempted.

Do it!

If you already know that you like the way full-sus Cotics ride (me too), then it seems a pretty safe bet.

Nothing gets you riding more than a new bike 😉

Blummin’ love how my Rocket rides, and I’ve tried a few full sus bikes.

Trouble is, we need a new shed. And some roofing work. And the car’s due its MOT. And I can’t get out much because kids.

Also I still love the Rocket. And I’ve just put new tyres on it.

We can’t help you if you won’t help yourself

But seriously, don’t worry. Used prices are on the floor and you can probably buy a higher spec used one for less than £1.5k when you’re ready.

not the greatest tents but could work out well for some folk

That old chestnut Chain Reaction cycles (not sure if we’re still allowed to shop there in Stw-land!) have Brandx dropper 30.9 175mm drop for £85 (plus the jolly old postage of course these days)

Brandx lever kit (lever & cables) is only £13 too.

@towzer  – nice one on the Memory Map discounts. Bought perpetual UK Landranger for great price. Might be able to retire my old Tracklogs at last! 🙂

With Rockshox updating their 2025 range — any deals on last years 27.5 Lyriks?

Brandx lever kit (lever & cables) is only £13 too.

Ha! I bought 5 for a quid each during the firesale. I’ll never use the levers but figured I won’t need to buy another dropper cable for years!

@superandy07

I know for a pair of 150mm Revelations for a good price 😉
