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

Yeah, that’s a good point. I’m an 8(ish) and went for the mediums as the blurb says to size up. They only just fit even though it says up to 9.5

They still have the brand new Nordisk tents available for £160

Thanks just ordered! I bought a Nordisk Utgard, groundsheet and bedroom in the Wiggle firesale but it’s a bit too big for solo+doggo roadtrips, the Ydun will be a better size.

I’ve just figured out what PSA stands for. Little victories in life ?

Great price Cube One55 TM at Tredz £4999 nice bike with a nice spec, shame about the colour though

if you have a fetish for headbands like me,  saddleback have the castelli £7 and sportiful £6-7 lots of colours

or maybe the warmer merino bandito headband on balfes £12

£120 Nordisk tent just turned up. Looks brand new to me, I assume they ran out of the demo ones so just subbed a new one…

My refurbished Nordisk ydun tent also just turned up. Looks basically new. Feels really good quality , and very easy to put up in a few minutes.

Surely they haven’t sent out a new one for 1/6 of the price!

Got mine today as well (non-demo £160 but still an absolute bargain), will be using it next week on the North coast 500.

I noticed OMM postal address is the same as Nordisk UK’s address, I’m guessing this rubbish summer wasn’t the best for shifting tents.

BikeTart have DT XM481 rims for a good price, maybe others but haven’t looked.

DT Swiss EX 471 Rim

Does anyone know off hand what colour squorx nipples are supplied with those DT rims?

They have always been silver alloys nipples for me. They are also slightly cheaper from their eBay store, have been on sale for ages.

@whatyadoinsucka

Cycling headbands.

I got a refurbished Ydun. Very happy with it but the full price seems very high relative to their other larger tents. It had a bit of grass inside but still had the labels on

they’re probably not selling the discounted ones that quickly because it seems impossible to find navigating the OMM site. I could only find it via the link (or a specific Google search result link).

@onzadog I bought one this week and as above it came with silver nipples.

BikeTart have DT XM481 rims for a good price, maybe others but haven’t looked.

Great price, slow dispatch on the EX471s.

Wondering if they’ve gone on holiday.

For those on the Venn diagram who like their Ydun tent, Woodsmoke shirts, axe throwing (and Aquaman ?) … you may be interested in discounted

£40 delivered Carhartt trousers

with double front design and 2% elastane stretch

(I sized up from my regular 36” waist to 38” carhartt for a good fit + free returns )

there is even a whole arty marketing film dedicated to these trousers 

@chakaping I ordered my XM481 BH Monday and it arrived yesterday, with silver nipples.

Righto, mine must be on backorder or something then

you guys getting new tents rather than ‘ex demo’ are missing out! i got a free can of partially used right guard and a spare plastic bag with mine! 🙂

Apparently now 110 quid. That’s expensive 2nd hand rightguard right there!

Just received a Troy Lee Designs Flatline helmet, £40 from Tredz… Ridiculous for the money tbh. They have various colours and sizes (but prices vary)

^

is the Flatline actually a

Flowline?

Doh, yep

thank goodness the thread back! money was piling up, could barely get of the door…

Hell of a spec on this for the price

Cube Stereo One55 C:62 SLX 29 Mountain Bike 2024 BondiBlue/Grey (paulscycles.co.uk)

I’ve been so tempted by that cube, one problem is the headset. Not sure if it’s a deal breaker or not.

1. That cube is a bit of alright!

Whoever posted the salsa PSA a while ago.  Thanks v much. My warbird arrived yesterday and it’s lovely.

I’ve just received a pair of Ride Concepts Hellion clip shoes from Evans. £45 plus shipping:

https://www.evanscycles.com/brand/ride-concepts/hellion-clip-shoe-140402#colcode=14040203

They have flats also:

regarding the Nordisk Ydun tents mentioned above/previously I’m in mine as we speak! Quality is excellent – the guy line adjusters are simple but clever, everything is well stitched, substantial pegs, useful ventilation windows…..however, you’d have to be very good friends to have 4 of you in here. They are a spacious 2 man at most.

They are heavy due to the polycotton but are otherwise a bargain if you are looking for a decent carpacking tent.

Good reductions on Fox stuff on Sportpursuit at the moment:

https://www.sportpursuit.com/event/fox

Those tents are a good price to be sure, but I think for the same money I’d rather get a 2nd hand Force 10 mk4. (New they’re just over 300 these days) plus the V/F10 is 7kg and the Nordisk is listing at 13kg.

The scout tent sides on the nordisk tents make a huge difference to internal space and they are both going in the back of the car anyway so I would take the Nordisk.

The 110 quid scout tent is a steal, thanks.

Aldi waterproof sock day, 15 quid, loads in stock.  Biggest size 9-11 but I m normally a 12 and they fit nicely, q stretchy.

Yeah, they played the same trick on me, but it worked without me signing in to their website so happy to share with everyone.

I’ll let them off because they make nice beer.
