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

I’m afraid I never look at the top block of stuff in yellow – I’m 100% blind to it. For me the forum starts the row below

complete opposite for me.  Checked the stickied thread at the top every time I came to the forum (easy to see when it was last updated) and bought more stuff as a result.  Whereas I missed a lot of bargain PSA threads when they were away from the top.

As someone else has mentioned, I suspect the drop in commissions is probably linked to the reduction in the number of deals.  Along with Chiggle there were a number of other shops/disties dumping stock (either overstock from Covid, drop off in sales, or going under).  Most of the PSA stuff that I’ve bought recently hasn’t been bike related because there were so many deals previously I don’t need anything (must be hitting full price sales in the industry generally.). I’ve got a load of newish clothing, tyres, spares etc.

Giro have some good deals.

Radix trail helmet for £30, Source MIPS for £65, Montaro MIPS for £64

Cylinder ‘gravel’ shoes for £45, Rincons for £56

Men's

Laithewaites have got 30% off everything with free delivery until the end of the month (code 30OFF) which is stackable with the 20% off for subscriptions (easily cancellable). Only applicable to new accounts but a different email address will suffice. Cashback via Quidco and / or your bank should work too.

I can recommend the Black Stump and Cabalié for reds – chin chin!?

£9 for Endura overshoes. (Apologies for the Mike Ashley link)

If it’s stickied – never look – never bother to see when it was last updated.,

This was definitely the case for me. I hardly noticed the thread after it was stickied having previously bought a load of tents etc.

[MOD] Closing the thread to test as per Marks post on the last page. Please continue to post PSAs in their own threads

Resticking this as a test again. Maybe we are all not spending?

But please feel free to post separate PSA threads if you want. This is not an exclusive repository for PSA topics.

Glad to have this re-stuck – it’s much better than individual PSAs

Used my new tent last week from the re:omm post – it’s bloody lovely! Thanks to whoever posted the deal on this thread.

How exactly it this better than individual PSAs, you know individual ones are worth clicking on by the title, constantly checking this and going to the last page is an irritating waste of time for the most part. This is the last time I’m checking.

The clue is in the title.

I’ve seen a few things recently that I would have thrown on this thread but couldn’t be bothered doing a thread for ??‍♂️

I quite fancy one of those ydun tents, but does anyone know how waterproof they are?

I can’t find any mention of them even being waterproof

I only really plan on going camping during nice weather, but I do live in England

Some Altura clothing on sale at bikeparts.co.uk (have found them cheapest for a few bits recently, quick post, and free over £20). Not sure if there’s anything wild, but maybe worth a look if you’re keen on their stuff.

Altura Mega Sale

@thenorthwind Best place for Altura is Amazon, stick it in you wish list and wait for the price to drop. Had Eskar trousers and shorts for just over £20.

Cotton tents are very waterproof in the real world. See below for more details

https://nordisk.co.uk/pages/faq-cotton-tents-and-tarps

“The cotton has a hydrostatic head of 350mm, which sounds low at first, but it will definitely keep you dry. All our tents are constructed so that water is guided off the tent. Furthermore, cotton expands when it gets wet which seals the surface area”

~~~~~

plus you can reproof it easily and in an environmentally friendly way in a few years time

I’m stoked with mine, the quality is stupendous for the money

I’ve saved so much money since psa’s were hidden away in this annoying thread.

Bring back individual PSAs

*glues oneself to the road in protest

I have a nordisk tarp it’s very very good quality and completely waterproof. I assume the tent is same material.

**** it, I’ve bought that tent, I’ll squeeze it in the garage somehow.

Uh oh I bought one too… But website showing still there. So more than one in stock? Or one of us will be disappointed!

Hopefully I will be triumphant.

My phone is old which helps, but there’s a few choices.

I don’t think I’ve seen this posted as a PSA yet. There’s at least 50% off a load of the Polaris gear on their website.

I ordered a pair of AM500 TX REPEL shorts and some coolmax socks not too long ago, the fit and quality seems pretty good.

https://www.polaris-bikewear.com/

I think it was posted a few pages back.

There was some discussion on the waterproof socks that work out at 8 quid each if you buy 3 pairs.

I bought some and they’re pretty good. Crazy cheap at £8.

https://www.polaris-bikewear.com/polaris-bikewear-breathable-cascade-waterproof-socks-various-colours-and-sizes.html

^ I bought a pair of those, size 9.5-12 for my size 9-9.5 feet. Real battle to get them on as they were a very tight. I sent them back as I was worried I would soon damage them just getting them on.

Shame, as they seemed well made.
