HUNT E_Enduro Wide E-MTB 29 Wheelset

I don’t know what someone would want this for but it’s a deal

They would be an ideal anchor for a large boat

If anyone’s after a new PC case,

This is heavily discounted on Ocuk..

Argos are selling Apple Series 9 Watches at bargain prices.  I just got a 45mm, GPS and Cellular, Midnight, Sport Loop for £339.

Other sizes, straps and colours are also available.

Ref the previous PSA on the Ghost carbon wheels at £499, and my follow up after spotting they were listed on Sport&Leisure ebay store with volume discounts, I also realised that you can order a front and rear wheel for less than the cost of the pair, as the volume discounts kick in when buying 2 items. So a pair is £494, 2 pairs £884. Just gone for 2 pairs in conjunction with another STWer

Muc-Off 25% off everything on their site…. Announced just after I’d made an order! For some reason copy and paste isn’t working again so try this – http://www.muc-off.com

I had a ride out on the Ghost wheels, just around QECP Blue and Red, the weighted 580g less than my stock Bontrager line wheels and discs

certainly nice to ride on, massively impressed

Did you just float around?

Did you check the spook tension before the first ride?

Invisiframe have 15% off – BLACKFRIDAY15

i twanged some spokes, they sounded twangy

they made no noise when pedalling off, unlike my road bike wheels twanging for the first few miles 😛

Trek Top Fuel (2022 model) 9.7 (carbon, xt/slx/deore), Fox 34 for under £2000 in medium and small

Maybe he asked for a pairanormal wheels.

i missed the deliberate typos.. it was late.. that was good 😀

I heard they come out of the same factory as Haunt wheels anyway.

They fit any suitable bike, but work best on a Canyon Spectral.

Standard issue over ear noise cancelling headphones are the cheapest they have been on John Lewis and Amazon.

Maxxis Minion 2 2.4WT DD MaxxGrip at Merlin for under £40 with delivery.

Great price, but I’m not sure I’m man enough for Maxxgrip on the rear, or DD on the front.

Also SLX cranks £50

170 & 175 mm with 30t chainring

best vfm cranks you can get

Also SLX cranks £50 – best vfm cranks you can get

100% – not just VFM, shimano functionally better than anyone else’s IMO and  LOOK better than XT with the only weight difference is in the chainring (XT has a carbon carrier/steel ring).

A PSA where do you don’t have to spend anything – the Channel 4 app is finally available on Google TV devices!

OneUp bars the cheapest I’ve seen them, and a fair few other bits discounted.
Carbon Handlebar

Anyone after a cheap 1/4 ratchet, just picked this one up. Quality is actually very good, although obviously it isn’t snap-on at this price. Feels nice. It’s very compact and has a 1/4 hex on the handle so you can use it like a screwdriver. You can have square or hex on the ratchet. Has the makings of a nice compact portable tool kit

The SLX cranks come up rather nicely if you leave them in a bag of oven cleaner for 5 mins as well ?

To clean the anodizing off?

Certini Bikes have some good looking Niterider lights with big reductions (1500, 2000,2500 lm under £100) . Was tempted… but I have enough lights I do I do

My ghost(ly) wheels turned up today (thanks for the enjoyable banter!)

27mm internal width according to my micrometer, so 1mm extra free 😀

Asymmetric rims, bladed spokes, tubeless taped and tubeless valves included.

1498g with tape. Well happy.

lovely looking aren’t they!!  tubeless setup was pretty painless for me also, no need to get the compressor on board.. just wiggled the tyre bead a bit and went for the track pump, literally my only bugbear was centrelock, but when you are dealing with wheels at that weight, that’s what you expect

Mtb shorts £6-10 depending on size and colour

I bought these for my eldest 2 this summer and they’ve held up really well, good length, size up a bit skinny on the waist, but good adjuster, no liner, deep pockets.

Not heard of the brand before but very impressed

Yes, anodising almost slips off and you’re left with a lovely brushed finish.

Just a word of warning – bare alloy doesn’t stay looking good for long outside without polishing at the best of times, let alone on a bike that’s splashed through muddy puddles.

That’s what I was about to say

Just a fraction too big, even for my legs. Sob!

Nice price for Ultegra 12 speed cranks in 172.5.

The RF Turbine cranks I stripped the anodizing off 6-7 months ago still look pretty good to my eyes, with no polishing apart from my shoes rubbing when pedaling.

Not sure if this has been done but this arrived yesterday. I’ve wanted a new bigger tool box for years. Quality seems fairly decent for DIY use. Free postage over £20 too.
