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

Very late adopter here, bought when my Tracer started to play up after years. Wouldn’t go back.

Any updates about the Vasque boot sizing from those who have got some?

yup the felt is an absolute bargain, i bought one at £450, under 10kg, plenty of upgrade scope, decent frame

Any updates about the Vasque boot sizing from those who have got some?

Arrived today, lightweight, fit fine in length, pretty much standard for the size, maybe slightly longer, but the width is nowhere near wide enough for my duck feet. They will be posted back tomorrow.

Thanks for that alanl. Did you order one of the wider sizes or was that for the standard width?

Lightweight/packable shoes for your bikepacking trips has been an occasional request.

Bargain at £25.50 and lots of sizes available.

ordered these and a random bag for storing a fake Christmas tree arrived instead. Just hope it’s a mistake rather than a scam..

I purchased a pair of these a few years ago after a PSA on here, they have been great for the winter and at that price, an absolute bargain!

Just got my pair. Crikey they feel warm! Not sure it’s ever going to be cold enough for a walk in them!

I got some for my dad but we are both size 9 and I ordered a 9. I have slightly wider than average feet and these are snug in a good way a thick sock would work for me but only just.

they were the boot in the original link and it says medium fit on the box.

I am rather hoping they are too tight for my dad ?

It says wide on the box, and 2E on the order form.

Aye, they’re for standing around at, say, cross races for a few hours (or fixing your fence yesterday in my case)

Neo drone was too good to resist. They also have the flymore pack for £240 or £230 if you sign up for the spam.

Mine arrived spot on sizing, and no bag for fake tree in sight… Must be a cock-up…

Gah, couldn’t use the code for them! Boooo

Sony wf-1000xm5 earbuds £159 at EE

I bought some 47 / 11 Vasques and I’m normally an 11 and a 47 in Shimano. I’d say snug but fine with normal socks. With thicker walking socks then no. I also bought a 48 and this was just marginally too big.

To anyone else that ordered that Pixel 8a a few weeks ago, I successfully claimed my complementary set of Pixel buds this week, using this link: https://reward-promos.com/reward/budsautumn/en-GB/claim/get-started

Vasque boots look really nice, impressively light (they’re just trainers that look like boots and have a vibram sole really)

Seemed to fit well in the living room, feel slightly tight on first walk and had a mild hot spot on one foot.

Perhaps they’ll be fine with normal socks rather than thick ones though

Hope so anyway. CBA to buy another pair .5 size up

Turkey crowns mis-priced at Morrisons Wood Green.  Should be about £15 each – some are priced at £5 odd. My 3 came to £16.18  – scanned my Morrisons card and it went down by £2.70 as a multi buy. Be quick  – only 20 or so left at that price at the moment.

Thanks to everybody who recommended the Google pixel 8A deal. This post is sent from the phone I purchased. Apparently the earbuds are also on their way as well. This is a very useful thread! Thank you everybody

factory grip 2 £599 / Perf Elite £499 , dont forget to sign in and check points balance  upto £25 off

some 29er reserve wheels too £299-£399 or £899 a set , most sold out

Following on from jake123’s post.. 20%+ off a lot of items on TriSportsResort’s (Wiggle) eBay shop – codes TRISPORTSFESTIV and CHILLY5.

Thought this was worth sharing – I’ve been looking at (and thus my algorithm based targets advertising has been bombarding me with) these small portable power stations for a while, reading reviews etc. Theres tonnes – Jackery, Bluetti, Aferiy etc etc.

Wanted a cheaper and more transferable (I tend to change vehicles often!) alternative to putting a leisure battery into the van I finally bought this year. We usually use hook up when camping, but this will be useful for the odd one-nighter, using in the garden, taking out to the beach/forest for the day or evening, and also as a backup for the basics in the event of an outage at home. We havent been affected for years but its not unheard of these days!

Mainly, it will allow me to charge my new e-bike – this one being big enough to charge my 320wh battery, with losses, plus a chunk left over for some lighting and a phone/garmin charge. Perfect for doing the odd race or event next year.

Not a huge capacity compared to the big £XXXX products, but most are hovering around £300 for their 512wh versions, so 576wh for £275, is about the best £/wh ratio I’ve seen so far.

Factory refurbished, ill reserve final judgement till it arrives but experiences tell me it usually means its just had the box opened.

Bambu Lab A1 mini 3D Printer

I got one in the black Friday sales and am a total noob to 3D printing, but this thing is soooo easy to use. I had the first Benchy done within 30 minutes of taking it out the box.

Tektro Gemini 4-pot brake set inc 2 x 180mm 6-bolt Magura Storm HS 2.0mm rotors for £65 at Merlin

I’ve got TRP Slate EVOs on two bikes and heard these Tektros are similar but not quite as outright power. Seems a good price for a complete brake setup.

And similar to @snotrag above, I was half-looking at portable power station things for camping off-grid. Haven’t taken the plunge (yet) but this also looked a good deal. Bluetti 716wh for £312: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/296656910857 from their official refurb page on eBay.
