Thanks for the heads up!

This would have been perfect but it's gone unfortunately!

Gets you a case of 6 beers for £2.95p&p, courtesy of ‘the cycling podcast’.

Edit- just remember by claiming the offer you’ll be sub’d and you’ll need to revisit the site at least 24 hours after ordering to cancel the sub.

Sadly I’m already signed up so can’t do that one (I did a similar one a while ago and forgot to cancel :-)

Thanks, done this. Shame they have the 'ring to cancel' thing, but probably worth the effort. £24 for 8 beers chosen by someone else doesn't seem like that good a deal.

Indeed. Not when you can go to most bottle shops and get them for around that. Suppose they’ve got to post them though, and beer isn’t exactly light..

I guess if I didn't live close to decent bottle shops then it'd make more sense.

Guinness is £4.50 for 4 at the minute at the co-op

nice one

Challenge Dune Open Tubular tyres, tan-wall, 27€:

https://ciclicorsa.com/shop/dune-cyclocross-open-tubular-tire-pro/

reviews on here (in german) state that the tread detaches after 200-400km!

Ah. Shite.
Well at least the "width is exact 33mm (sic)", which makes them 'excellent' too.

UCI cyclocross max, so probably very nice for those who race

They are Challenge's sand specific tyre though, not much use for UK conditions.

What if you exclusively cycle through golf course bunkers?

Then you should buy a pair as they would be the perfect tyres for you. 👌

Also need to factor in hours of frustration, torn tubes, physio on damaged thumbs etc when you buy Challenge open tubular tyres.

Sensa Ferma SL 105 from merlin £550

this seems pretty decent to me - or is there something fishy about it that i'm missing?

£56 for hope headsets seems pretty decent?

Yeah that’s not bad, these days the £8.70 eBay one from China is all i can stomach buying, sealed bearings, multiple colours...job done

I am sorry
